Before you sign, someone checks every clause
A real-estate lawyer checks ownership, liens and permits, drafts the contract and supports you until the rights are registered in your name.
- A quote before you decide
- We get back to you within a business day
- No obligation
Land Registry extract and ownership
- What's checked
- Who is registered as owner, in which block and parcel, and whether the registration matches the person selling you the property.
- Why it matters
- The extract is the starting point of the deal: it shows exactly what's being sold and who's entitled to sell it.
