Parties and authority
Check whether buyer, seller, developer or representative are correctly named and authorised to sign.
Contract review
Purchase contract review for property abroad
Before signing a reservation, preliminary agreement or purchase contract abroad, the obligations, payments, conditions, risks and transfer rules must be clear.
Before commitment
Never sign before local contract review
BSP helps buyers structure the contract questions and timing, so local lawyers, notaries, translators or tax specialists can review the text before signing or payment.
Ownership checks, contract review, tax assessment, registration, permits and local obligations must always be assessed by qualified local specialists. BSP gives no guarantees on outcome, rules or tax treatment.

FAQ
Questions about legal and tax checks
Why should a purchase contract be reviewed?
Because it can contain obligations, payments, penalties, transfer rules and risks with major consequences.
Can BSP review my contract?
No. BSP does not provide legal advice and does not review contracts. Local qualified specialists must do this.
Should a reservation agreement be reviewed too?
Yes. Reservation or preliminary agreements can already contain important obligations and deposit rules.
When should contract review happen?
Before signing and before paying a reservation fee, deposit or other commitment.
