Frequently asked questions
What exactly do you check?
Depending on the property and your needs, we can check:
- the property title and its status in the register: deslinde, mortgages, oppositions or litigation;
- building permits and whether what was built matches what was approved;
- the condominium: bylaws, fees, reserve fund and management;
- the technical condition of the property, through an inspection.
The exact checks are set out in the quote. For a purchase, the safe purchase package brings together the main ones. You can also view a sample report.
Who carries out the checks?
Each item is checked by a professional licensed in the relevant field:
- a lawyer licensed to practise in the Dominican Republic, for the title, deslinde and deeds;
- a registered engineer or architect, for the technical aspects;
- a licensed surveyor (agrimensor), for boundaries and measurements.
Terrenas Check coordinates the assignment and gives you a single report. The professional handling your file is named in the quote. Find out more on the who checks page.
How much does a check cost?
Pricing is on quote, based on the property and the checks required. Factors include, for example, the type of property, the documents available and the points to be reviewed.
After your request, we send you a detailed quote with the proposed checks, the price and the timeframe. Nothing commits you before you accept it. If you are not sure what you need, the quick check-up helps you identify the checks suited to your case.
How long does it take to receive the report?
The timeframe is stated in the quote, depending on your file. It mainly depends on the checks requested, how quickly the documents are gathered and the response time of the institutions consulted, which we do not control.
If a signing date is planned, mention it in your request: we will tell you honestly what is feasible before then. If an item cannot be checked in time, the report says so.
