What your preliminary check may reveal

Every free preliminary check is based on the specific property you are considering — using the listing and available property and cadastral information.

Sample preliminary check

€485,000 · Moraira · Villa · 167 m²

  • Listing information broadly matches the available records.
  • The stated property area requires further verification.
  • The legal status of some structures cannot yet be confirmed.
  • Ownership and registered-property details require a current Nota Simple.
Before signing arras, 7 additional risk areas should be checked.

Don't sign arras before you know what you're buying.

A contrato de arras is a binding commitment. If important problems are discovered afterwards, withdrawing from the purchase may put your deposit at risk.

What information do I need to provide?

Send the property listing URL, your email address and your preferred report language. We will let you know if any additional information is useful.
