{"ai_json_enabled":true,"answer":"Ask the lawyer to verify the original title and registered owner, and to check mortgages, leases, usufructs, superficies and other encumbrances.

Ensure completion documents and payment steps match the contract, and that you\u2019re 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.","answer_source":"openai_conversational_breadcrumb","category":"Due Diligence & Contracts","category_slug":"due-diligence","confidence":"grounded_in_approved_property_guide_context","conversation_depth":1,"conversation_followup_type":"clarify","conversation_parent_slug":"what-should-be-checked-at-the-land-office","conversation_reason":"The natural next step is to determine specific questions to ask and what to verify with a lawyer before signing.","conversation_root_slug":"what-should-be-checked-at-the-land-office","created_at":"2026-10-14T19:28:57+00:00","daily_publish_cap":3,"date_published":"2026-10-15","display_date":"2026-10-15","drip_batch":"2026-10-15","drip_status":"daily_auto_published","freshness_warning":"Property prices, availability, construction progress, rental rules and legal requirements can change.
