Hello.

Here is a lawyer who is not lazy, nor incompetent or interested in developing relationships with compatriots rather than doing the work required by the client... :D

There was some confusion here, and I am happy this has been resolved.

What you call "deeds" does not exist as yet; it is just a purchase contract, so when the actual deeds are signed, make sure the document is in both names.

I regret to hear about the status of the complex!

Good luck.

The problem may arise when the taxman thinks that by "passing on the contract" to someone else you are running over 1 taxed step.

In other words, selling before completion avoids tax on the transfer... a tax that you wuold have to pay should you have completed. This can be the argument to charge a fine for an extra 7%...

What do you think? I do not know of any cases in practise, apart from the one mentioned by flyingcat. It would be interesting to know how the payment of the extra 7% was communicated, actioned, etc.

Thanks and regards,

Manuel.

Hello, Najma.

Do you mind telling us the name of the complex where you have bought?

If you have not signed the deeds, how can the developer say that "the deeds" are just in your name? It looks like you have signed if the builders says that The taxes have been paid and the Hacienda have been notified that the ownership is now in my name.

If nothing has been signed before the notary, I do not understand what "investigation" can take place, as we are doing this on a daily basis. Is a simple as both spouses attending to the notary to sign or giving power of attorney to a lawyer to sign on their behalves.

The private contract is just between you and the builders and can be changed / renewed at any stage!

Your developer thnks too much... or simply does not want to complicate himself!

Regards, Manuel.
