When dealing with properties that include buildings, discrepancies frequently arise—many of which can be identified at the outset.

 
 
The documentation for properties with buildings does not always fully reflect the actual condition of the land and structures.
For this reason, it is highly advisable to have key checks conducted in advance by a real estate attorney, in the best interests of all parties—buyers, sellers, heirs, and brokers.
 
 
Key Checks:
Property identity – comparing the notarial deed, cadastral map, and zoning plan.
Property status – verifying the designated use and recorded data in the cadastre and with the municipality.
Unregistered buildings – if buildings are not shown on the cadastral map, a geodetic survey and cadastral registration are required.
Legal status of buildings – confirming legality through building permits or a Certificate of Tolerated Construction.
Administrative address – the address must be consistent across all official documents.
Cadastral sketch and tax assessment – issued only after all property data has been properly updated.
Encumbrance certificate – obtained immediately prior to completion of the transaction.
 
 
Professional Legal Consultation
A legal review conducted by an experienced real estate attorney provides:
• comprehensive analysis of all documentation;
• identification of discrepancies between documents, cadastral records, and actual conditions;
• verification of building legality;
• assessment of required corrections or additional documentation.
 
 
This significantly reduces the risk of transaction delays and helps prevent potential disputes.
