Key Legal Questions and Risks
Buying property abroad is a serious step requiring financial and legal preparation. Slovakia offers attractive opportunities for investors and private buyers, especially Ukrainian citizens. However, before signing a purchase agreement, a thorough legal inspection of the property is essential.
The Advocacy and Real Estate Association of Ukraine specializes in legal support for real estate transactions in Slovakia and helps clients avoid risks related to ownership, documentation and legal compliance.
Key issues to check before buying
Who is the registered owner of the property
We verify the cadastral extract to confirm the seller’s legal ownership and ensure no co-owners exist without consent.
Are there encumbrances: mortgage, lien, seizure
The property may be mortgaged, seized or subject to a lien. We identify such risks in advance so they do not transfer to the new owner.
Are any residents officially registered at the address
Permanent registration may create complications. Registered individuals retain certain rights even after the sale. We verify this and ensure deregistration before completing the transaction.
Who pays for the notary and cadastral registration
These terms must be agreed upon and written into the contract. We help avoid unexpected costs or disputes.
Is the property involved in a legal dispute
We check for disputes related to divorce, inheritance or co-ownership, as such issues may jeopardize the transaction.
Are additional spaces included: basement, parking, storage
All auxiliary premises must be legally registered and included in the purchase contract. We ensure proper documentation.
