  • Is the licence for first occupation necessary for the deeds?

In principle there is no legal objection to registering a sales deed without the permit for first occupation, if however, in this case, the home does not comply with the end to which it was bought, which is no other than as a place to live. If this is the case, the signing of the deeds is viable as long as the customer agrees with the legal situation of the home, always taking into account that it is temporary, and that the permit is being processed.

Without the permit for first occupation the customer cannot be forced to accept the home; however, if the customer does not disagree, there is no objection in handing it over. Until the permit of first occupation has been obtained the name on the electricity and water supply cannot be changed, so these costs will have to be assumed by the developer until the name can be changed. If deeds are drawn up on property units before the permit has been obtained, there must be a note in the deeds that explains the situation and the stage at which the proceedings have reached.
