3. \u00a0Once all the air is cleared and you have come to an arrangement with the seller, you can assemble a purchase contract. The contract has to have all the sale conditions that are before agreed and it has to certified by the notary public.<\/p>\n

4. \u00a0After you\u2019ve singed the contract, you need to request the change of the name of the new property owner in the land register.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, as a property buyer be prepared to pay taxes \u2013 3 percent of the total amount of the property price.<\/p>\n
