At the decision point, with a real estate lawyer or a proven realtor, you need to carefully check the developer, all the risks and prospects, if the buyer wishes, you can involve a translator. If, after analysis, you consider the investment to be justified, the next step is to request the registration of TAPU at any stage of construction. Since it is allowed for the developer to issue a TAPU for you and put an encumbrance in the Cadastral until full payment. In this case, you will need to pay 1.5% of the cost of the object – the fee of the Cadastral Department for registration of such a procedure.
