Phase One

Before you start looking

Define your goal clearly — to live in, to let, or to hold as an investment.
Set a realistic budget, including the all-in cost — not just the purchase price.
Decide the apartment type that fits your goal — studio, 1, 2 bed, family, or luxury.
Understand realistic pricing for that type before you start — not listing prices.
Engage a trusted, accountable advisor before, not after, you find an apartment.
If overseas, read the overseas buyers guide and plan how you'll view and verify remotely.
2

Phase Two

Viewing & shortlisting

Request a shortlist of verified options matching your brief — not a long dump.
View in person, or by live video walkthrough if abroad.
Inspect the apartment's real condition, layout, light, and usable space.
Assess the building — lifts, power, water, security, and maintenance.
Consider the block, location, and surroundings — see best areas.
If furnished, get a documented inventory of exactly what's included.

Phase Three

Verify before you commit

This is the most important phase. Complete every check here before any significant payment.

Verify the ownership chain is clean and unbroken to the seller.
Confirm transfer eligibility — the apartment can actually be transferred to you.
Check for outstanding dues, charges, or arrears that would pass to you.
Verify document authenticity — genuine, not altered or fabricated.
Check for any encumbrance, dispute, or claim attached to the apartment.
Confirm the seller's identity and genuine authority to sell.
Review every check against the safe buying guide.

Phase Four

Agreement & payment

Negotiate from the realistic price, factoring in seller motivation and dues.
Put the agreement in writing — price, inclusions, timelines, responsibilities.
Never let money move ahead of verification — keep the safe payment sequence.
Pay only a modest, conditional token after the agreement — never a large upfront sum.
Pay to the right party only — never personal or third-party accounts.
If using power of attorney, keep it narrow, time-limited, and properly attested.
5

Phase Five

Transfer & possession

Run a final documentation and dues check immediately before transfer.
Complete the formal transfer through the proper channel.
Confirm ownership is now correctly recorded in your name.
Pay the final balance only against completed transfer and possession.
Do a final condition and inventory check at handover.
Set up utilities, registrations, and any leasing or management.
Get help on any step

Remember

If you only take one thing from this checklist: verify before you pay, and never let money move ahead of verification.

Questions

Frequently asked

What's the first step in buying an apartment?+

Defining your goal — to live in, let, or hold as an investment — and setting a realistic all-in budget. Everything else, including which apartment type fits, flows from that. Engaging a trusted advisor early is the next step.

What's the most important part of the checklist?+

Phase Three — verification — completed before any significant payment. Confirming the ownership chain, transfer eligibility, dues, document authenticity, encumbrances, and seller authority removes the overwhelming majority of risk.

When should I make payments?+

Only after inspection, full verification, and a written agreement — and then only a modest, conditional token, with the balance against completed transfer and possession. Money should never move ahead of verification.

Can I follow this checklist from abroad?+

Yes — the steps are the same, with live video walkthroughs replacing in-person viewing and extra care on payment sequencing. Our overseas buyers guide covers the remote process in full.

Do my ticks save if I leave the page?+

The checkboxes are interactive for use during your session to track progress as you read. They're a visual aid — for a working copy you can keep, ask us on WhatsApp and we'll share the full checklist.

Can you help me work through it?+

Yes. We guide buyers through every phase — and can carry out the verification steps independently on your behalf. Reach out at any step where you'd like support.

What if I've already found an apartment myself?+

You can still use this checklist, and we can help verify the seller, documents, and payment safety before you commit — a sensible step on any significant purchase, even one you sourced independently.
