Incorrect Review of the Property Documents (1387)
Reviewing the property documents is one of the most critical stages in the selling process. It’s the moment where reality meets what the buyer thinks they are buying. A mistake — or even a partial review — can lead to delays, legal issues, price reductions, and sometimes the cancellation of the deal.
Here are 7 common mistakes sellers make when reviewing the property documents.
- Assuming everything is “fine” without checking
Many sellers believe the documents are correct because “there were no issues before.” But:
- registration errors
- building irregularities
- mismatches between actual size and the land registry
can surface at the worst possible moment.
- Not checking consistency between land registry, deed, blueprint, and actual size
A professional buyer — or their lawyer — will check for consistency. If discrepancies appear, it creates suspicion, reduces trust, and lowers the price.
- Ignoring building irregularities
Unresolved irregularities:
- scare buyers
- delay mortgage approvals
- lead to significant discount demands
Hiding them doesn’t help — it makes things worse.
- Not checking mortgage registration or liens
If there is:
- an unpaid mortgage
- a lien
- a cautionary note
and the seller isn’t aware of it, the deal can get stuck halfway.
- Not reviewing homeowners’ association documents or special expenses
Buyers want to know:
- whether there are debts
- whether major works are planned
- whether special payments are expected
Skipping this step leads to unpleasant surprises.
- Not checking building permits and usage approvals
If there are structural changes, closed balconies, extensions, or additions — they must be legal. A buyer who discovers an issue late in the process will withdraw immediately.
- Relying on “what the agent said” instead of official documents
Official documents are the only truth. Any other information — no matter who said it — must be verified against the property’s documentation.
