How do I ensure the validity and legality of financial and official transactions?
As mentioned earlier, the employment of a local solicitor is not required but is highly recommended. For a general fee of £ 1,000 a solicitor will personally follow-up on transactions at the local government offices. Furthermore, the solicitor will check your Contract of Sale to be signed by you and the developer of the property, therefore ensuring its legality and authenticity. A permit for owning a home is required which usually costs £300 more and is received about a year after occupancy.
