TITLE DEEDS(ESCRITURA): These documents firstly act as evidence that the person selling the property actually owns it, and secondly set out any rights or obligations that affect the property. If you are selling, then valuable time can be saved if your title deeds can be obtained by us at an early stage. If you have a mortgage then your bank or building society will be holding your title deeds. We will need to know your mortgage account number and the name and address of the lender. Some lenders charge a fee to send out your deeds but this will normally be added to your mortgage account.

TRANSFER TAX(ITP/IVA): 7% of the purchase price; but when buying form the developer this is replaced by 7% IVA plus 1% Stamp Duty.
