Identify the exact unit or plot, obtain the relevant papers and list questions about payment, signing and handover. Check the legal and financial requirements for your own status.
Separate what you saw from what has been checked
A video tour can help you picture the home, while a local contact may help with practical visits. Neither replaces examination of the transaction documents. Keep booking terms, developer or seller promises and the proposed agreement together. If a representative is helping you, be clear about what they can approve and what needs your decision. Get specialist advice for cross-border funds or tax questions.
Ask what has changed since the sales presentation
Keep the offer, specifications, draft agreement and project details you were shown. When a revised document arrives, compare it with that set and ask about differences. A relative’s site visit can help with practical observations, but give the legal reviewer the actual papers. Separate questions about the view, finish or commute from questions about ownership and the proposed agreement.
Before making arrangements
- Identify the exact property and proposed transaction.
- Explain residency and representation facts accurately.
- Ask who performs legal review and any physical inspection.
- Agree how findings and draft changes will be discussed.
The next step
Arrange the review before your next commitment where possible. Share your location and deadlines so the signing and payment questions can be planned alongside it.
Does an online video tour establish the property’s legal position?
No. It can show aspects of the property but cannot establish ownership, approvals or the full documentary position.
