Purchase of houses and plots
Buying procedure:
Conditions of sale and purchase plots and houses in Egypt are similar as in Poland. Purchase is made by notarial act which is prepared and signed in the country in which the property is buying.
The process of buying houses and plots looks similar like when buying apartment:
We emphasize that ILS Poland Group is a licensed broker (who has liability insurance) and co-founder of the Polish Chamber of Real Estate – PIN. We care about the best buyer interest in every purchase option.
In both variants, buying property is associated with several basic steps. That process is completely carried out by the ILS Poland Group and looks as follows:
After the end of registration sale process, the Property Registration Office – equivalent of polish Mortgage Court issue a final document which confirmed the ownership.
ILS GROUP, after the decission of buying the property is pointing and recomending to clients proven and adequate locally law firm (equivalent of notary office) which perform the whole process of property registration after checking the legal status of acquired object.
ATTENTION – IMPORTANT
Registration status of title is confirmed by review of ownership documentation.
The next step is to check if the selected property is not charged with any obligations or mortgages in Egypt. Acording to egytian law such obligations are binding on the property also after transfer the ownership. Potential buyer with ILS and recommended law firm participation gets sure that it is free of legal faults and does not constitute an object of the other transaction or pledge against third parties. The legal control is made by access to Register of Pledges and Mortgages at the public notary in the district which the property belongs to.
It is necessary to confirm that all propety taxes was fully paided. Tax rates varies depending on standard and location. Any tax arrears imposed on property are not canceled by ownership transfer. In the buyer`s interest is to check also this fact, because it would be possible to move the tax liabilities to the new owner.
*According to this fact ILS POLAND GROUP during preparation and conducting the transaction recomends to its clients using indicated, proven and cooperating law firm to verify the legal status of each property before making purchase in Egypt.
