Guide to formalise the purchase and sale of a newly built property
We have reached one of the most important stages in the sale of your home, the final one and with the guarantee that all parties are in agreement with the terms. However, to prepare the signing document, the buyers and a representative of the selling entity must appear before a notary to read and sign the document. At the final appointment with the notary, the parties must bring the following documents with them:
THE DEVELOPER
- Powers of the signatory
- Simple Status Note
- Certificate of Zero Community and Mortgage Debt
- End of work certificate
- Energy Efficiency Certificate
- Water and electricity installation certificates
- Declaration of responsibility or first occupation permit
- Guarantee on appliances
- And, of course, the best part: keys and access control to the home
THE BUYER
- DNI or PASSPORT
- The warranties, if they have been collected and are in your possession
- And, of course, the most important: payment
Payment can be made in three ways: by international bank transfer in advance, by national OMF (Funds Movement Order) transfer or by cheque.
It should be noted that the notary generally requires the following additional documents to be submitted to the representative before the notary's stage is reached
- Construction book
- Ten-year insurance policy
- Community statutes
- Horizontal division
It is almost always the buyer who chooses the notary to carry out the procedures and sign the contracts, since it is the buyer who pays the notary's fees, except the notary's fees for the deed corresponding to the mortgage loan, which are paid by the bank.
What exactly is a contract of sale?
The sale and purchase contract is the legal agreement between the seller and the buyer, in which the seller agrees to transfer ownership of a good or right to the buyer, who agrees to pay a price.
This contract, which is regulated by the Civil Code and the Commercial Code, is completed with the simple agreement of the good and the price, without the need for formalities, although in cases such as the sale of real estate, the written form is required. This document creates obligations and rights for all parties involved: the seller must deliver the goods and guarantee their possession and quality, while the buyer must pay the agreed price.
How does the sale and purchase contract work?
The deed of sale fulfils several important functions. Firstly, it guarantees the rights and interests of both parties to avoid conflicts and future claims. It also ensures that legal and fiscal requirements are met, such as paying taxes or registering the property. Finally, it also serves as a guarantee of existence, if it reflects the details of the agreement, in case there is a need for legal recourse.
