Prepare answers to buyers' usual questions

Serious buyers tend to ask the same questions early, and slow or uncertain answers can cool their interest. A one-page fact sheet prepared before the first viewing lets your agent reply accurately and quickly. Include the latest service charge invoice, the year the building or villa was completed, upgrades with their dates, the number of parking spaces, storage, what stays with the home and the community facilities. Check each answer against your documents rather than memory. Example: you remember two parking spaces, but the ownership papers list one allocated space and one shared visitor bay. Correct details at the start keep trust intact and stop questions resurfacing during the buyer's checks. Update the sheet if anything changes, such as a new service charge invoice.

Keep one written line to the developer

An off-plan purchase can run for years, and during that time questions come up: a payment reference, a layout detail, a change in the schedule. Answers given in passing at a launch event or over the phone are hard to rely on later. Choose one written channel, such as email or the

Document where your Down Payment comes from

Banks need to understand where your Down Payment comes from, and they usually ask for documents rather than explanations. Savings are shown through account statements, proceeds from selling another property through the sale documents, and help from family often through a signed gift letter with the transfer record. A large deposit with no clear origin, made shortly before you apply, can slow the review while the bank asks questions. Make a simple list of every source that will make up your Down Payment and attach the matching proof to each line: statemen
