Ask the lawyer to verify the original title and registered owner, and to check mortgages, leases, usufructs, superficies and other encumbrances. Have them confirm whether the proposed transfer or lease can be registered and how official fees and taxes are calculated. Ensure completion documents and payment steps match the contract, and that you’re not relying on an undated photocopy. Discuss the need for independent legal and, if relevant, financial advice, and understand any changes in laws or practice that could affect registration. Do not let deadlines override proper documentary checks or buyer-side professional advice.
