Property purchase agreement
The preliminary agreement specifies the date for concluding the main agreement, which is usually signed after the occupancy permit has been obtained. In the meantime, if you are buying the apartment with a mortgage, you arrange all the necessary documentation with the bank. The property purchase agreement is the official document defining all the details of the transaction. It includes the information from the preliminary agreement, the date of handover of possession and the seller's guarantee that no third parties have rights over the property.
The property purchase agreement must also be certified by a notary public in several copies: one each for the buyer, seller, notary public, the municipal court's land registry department and the tax administration, and, if you are taking out a mortgage to buy the apartment, a copy for the bank where required.
