Control stages of Real Estate
Buying a property is one of the most expensive transactions we are going to make in our lifetime as well as the most complicated, it can hide a lot of traps. There are however, things that we can be aware of so that we do not make the wrong choice.

A. INVESTMENT CONTROL
This stage consists of:
• The decision-making of what kind of investment we want to make e.g. (plot, apartment, shop, rural, overseas etc.
• The region or area where it suits our interest, needs and wishes (i.e.in the city centre or the suburbs or near underground station etc)
• How we are going to finance the purchase i.e. (ready money or a loan)
• The option of the best method to discover as much as possible about the RE that we have chosen to buy.
• The final estimated price of our chosen real estate

B. FINANCIAL CONTROL
The following should be verified:
• The down payments to be made depending on the progress of work, in the event that the real estate is under construction.
• Likely OUTSTANDING debts of previous house OWNER or contractor and/OR subcontractors, because this debt WILL burden the new house OWNER.

C. CONTROL OF THE LEGALITY OF THE TITLES
• You should assign a lawyer for the realisation of control of legality of titles and syntax and signature of final contract of transfer of the real estate.
• It should be checked if the real estate has any mortgages, legal attachments or claims at/towards any person and if they are attached to precedent title holders or to previous holders.
