A sale is a sequence of documents, and some depend on earlier ones. Holding the list from the start saves delays at registration.
Before signing
- A current land-registry extract or a rights certificate from the registering body
- Checks for liens, notes and attachments
- The parties’ details and ID documents, and know-your-client
- Statements of debts to the local authority and the building committee
Signing
An undertaking to make a real-estate transaction requires a written document (Land Law, 1969, section 8). The sale agreement is signed by all parties, with the powers of attorney and related forms the deal needs.
After signing
- Registering a caution note in the buyer’s favour
- Reporting to the Tax Authority (property taxation) within the statutory period
- Tax clearances and the local-authority certificate for registration
- Registering ownership in the buyer’s name
