Setting out in search of the apartment is ideal not an easy undertaking? If we decide to go it alone, the issues to which we must evaluate and verify are many:
- Distance from the workplace;
- Proximity of commercial services and public transport;
- Presence of lift to the upper floors;
- Electrical, plumbing and heat standard;
- Roof and facade in order;
- Absence of mortgages or bonds;
- Regularity register;
- No debt of the seller to the condominium.
These are just some of the things we have to check first, you must have much time to devote to visits to find the house to our liking.
If we rely to an agency we receive a number of services in exchange for the commission to be paid. Real estate agencies have a wide property portfolio often accompanied by photographs and detailed descriptions allowing for a rapid choice of what you want with a saving of considerable time.
Furthermore, the professional real estate agent has already in hand documentation of the property and shall, in agreement with notaries, audit mortgage and land. Assists the customer until the notarial deed resolving any problems or concerns about your sale.
If you choose the estate agent there are some things to watch out for:
- Number of enrollment in the role of estate agents;
- Join a trade association (FIMA – Fiaip);
- Pre-definition of the commission and the manner of payment;
- Presence of insurance against occupational risks.
It is also customary for a professional real estate agent does not ask:
- Advances on the commission to visit the building;
- Checks to deposit or deposit in his name, because these should always be made payable to the seller.
In addition, mediation has become part of the notarial deed, as the notary is obliged to indicate whether the parties (sellers and / or buyers) have used or have not used any society mediator, and if you are availed themselves obliged to describe the means of payment of that mediation.
