The purchase process

When does the buyer become the legal owner?

This is general information, not individual legal or tax advice. Rules and fees may change: before a transaction, check the primary sources and consult a specialist about your circumstances.

Ownership arises after the transaction is made in writing and the buyer is registered in the Public Registry. Payment, a reservation, or a preliminary agreement does not by itself replace registration of title.
