Contrato de compraventa de vivienda: a private property sales contract is a private document in which the seller must hand over a property to the buyer for an agreed price.

It is important to pay attention to certain aspects of the sales contract such as who will be liable for any previously unpaid bills etc. It is always advisable to consult a legal expert before signing any private property sales contract and of course to obtain the nota simple from the property registry to make sure the property has no outstanding debts or liabilities.

The National Consumers Institute has approved a new standard private property sales contract which has been adapted to fit in with current laws for consumer protection. The standard model for the property sales contract can be found on the NCI website here.

We strongly advise that you consult a legal expert before signing a private property sales contract
