How to recognize quality new construction and a reliable investor
Buying a new build has obvious advantages — a new, move-in ready space, modern construction, energy efficiency, nothing to renovate. But it also comes with its own set of questions that don't arise in the same way with older properties. By new build, we mean a newly constructed building or apartment being moved into for the first time, purchased from a ...

Building reserve: how it is determined and what it is actually spent on
Every apartment owner in a building pays a monthly reserve fund, but few know exactly how its amount is determined, who decides on its spending, and what the money actually goes to. For many, the reserve fund is just an item on the bill — a cost paid "because it has to be," without a clear idea of what is received for it. This lack of knowledge leads ...

Registration of a building in the cadastre: a guide for owners and buyers
When a house or other building is constructed on a plot of land, that object does not "officially" exist in the records by itself — it must be entered into them.

What happens to real estate when the infrastructure in its vicinity changes
Changes in infrastructure near a property are one of the most powerful external factors that can raise or lower its value — and the direction of the effect depends on the type of change. A new road, public transport line, school, park, or shopping center generally increases value because they improve accessibility and amenities; on the other hand, a ...

Tabular document and clausula intabulandi: what are they and what are they used for?
When purchasing real estate, many buyers think that signing the sales contract and paying the price completes the transaction. However, between the contract and actual ownership lies another necessary step — registration in the land registry, by which the buyer becomes the registered owner to all. And for this registration to be carried out at all, a ...
