Quick answers on documents, mandatory surveys and co-ownership

Open a question to read the full answer. Subjects needing personal assessment then lead you to the right conversation.

Which documents should I prepare for an apartment sale?

Title deeds, sellers’ identification, floor areas, survey reports, co-ownership rules, meeting minutes, charges, works and any information requested by the notaire.

When should the property surveys be carried out?

Early enough to give the buyer accurate information and avoid delays at the offer or preliminary agreement stage.

Which documents relate to the co-ownership?

Co-ownership rules, the schedule of property lots, meeting minutes, charges, the works fund, maintenance records and any documents required for the particular sale.

What if a document is missing?

Identify it straight away, establish who can provide it and allow for the delivery time in the schedule.

Are the mandatory surveys the same for every property?

No. The requirements depend in particular on the building’s age, its installations, location and the type of sale.

Who confirms which requirements apply?

The surveyor, notaire and other qualified professionals each confirm the requirements within their area of expertise.

Why prepare the documents before advertising?

A clear, well-organised file builds confidence, helps answer questions promptly and reduces the risk of discovering a complication late in the process.
