Buying Procedure

AquaSun Estates will draw up a contract with the buyer detailing the agreed terms and conditions of the purchase. A legal translator will be present at all stages to represent the buyer.

The legal translator then takes the buyer's passport(s) to the Notary for translation. This is necessary for the security and property location checks mentioned above. The translation takes a maximum of half an hour, after which the passport(s) will be returned to the buyer.

AquaSun Estates and the buyer will then take the contract to a local solicitor. The solicitor will check a copy of the property deed to ensure that the information on the contract corresponds with the information on the deed. Then all parties will sign the contract witnessed by the solicitor, the legal translator and one other witness.

Once the application has been approved by the Land Registry Office (it takes 2-3 months for the security and property location checks to be made and approved), AquaSun Estates will sign over the deed of the property to the buyer (assuming all outstanding payments have been received). It is at the point of deed transfer that the purchase tax will be paid.
