Buying an apartment is one of the most important financial decisions in life. For many people, this process involves a lot of paperwork, and the key document on the path to owning your own four walls is the developer agreement. Although in the case of ready-made apartments this document may be somewhat simplified, it is worth knowing what it should contain and what you should pay particular attention to.
What is a developer agreement?
A developer agreement is a legal document that regulates the rules for purchasing an apartment before it is built or put into use. On the basis of this agreement, the developer undertakes to build and transfer the ownership of the apartment to the buyer, and the buyer undertakes to pay the agreed price.
In the case of purchasing new apartments in Poznań that are already ready for occupancy, the form of the document may vary – in this case, we are talking about a transfer of ownership agreement or a sales agreement. Nevertheless, regardless of the stage of the investment, it is worth knowing the basic elements that should be included in the contract.
What must the agreement contain?
Every development agreement—including those for completed investments—should contain, among other things:
- a detailed description of the property (address, floor space, room layout, floor),
- the date of transfer of ownership of the premises,
- the method of payment and payment schedule,
- information about the standard of finish of the premises and common areas,
- data concerning the land (land and mortgage register, form of ownership),
- the building permit number and information about the construction project.
When buying apartments for sale in Poznań, it is also worth paying attention to the provisions regarding possible contractual penalties, technical acceptance dates, and the buyer's rights in the event of delays on the part of the developer.
What to look for before signing?
First of all, read the entire contract carefully and don't be afraid to ask questions. Check that all verbal agreements have been included in the document. If the developer has promised you, for example, a parking space, make sure that this is included in the contract. This also applies to additional features, such as an apartment with a garden in Poznań or an apartment with a balcony in Poznań – their size and use must be described in detail.
It is also worth asking for an information brochure containing details about the entire investment – the number of buildings, planned amenities (e.g., apartments with parking in Poznań, elevators, recreational areas), as well as completion dates.
Secure financing and technical acceptance
When buying new apartments from a developer in Poznań, many people take out a mortgage. In such cases, the bank also analyzes the contract before granting financing. This is another reason why the document should be precise, transparent, and free of ambiguous provisions.
After signing the contract and completing construction, the so-called technical acceptance of the apartment takes place. This is the moment when you can check whether the premises have been completed in accordance with the contract, standard, and design. It is worth taking a professional with you who will pay attention to any defects.
