Real Estate & Property
Check title, signing authority, intended use, contract terms and handover before committing to a property.
Before a property commitment
Start with the exact site, unit and intended use. Compare the description and plan with the title or lease record, then confirm who can sign for the owner. Record any mismatch in area, boundaries, access or fixtures before agreeing a price or a deposit. An appealing viewing does not prove title or that the premises can be used as planned.
Buying, leasing and development
For a purchase, connect each payment to the transfer documents and outstanding conditions. For a lease, settle handover, alterations, repair duties, notice periods and return of security. If works are planned, compare the actual drawings and proposed activity with the site's permissions and contract restrictions. Date the inspection, plan revisions, keys and condition notes; those records help if a later dispute concerns delivery or defects.
Which jurisdiction?
Kuwait and Egypt have different property records, approval processes and transaction steps. A prior occupier's use or a seller's description is not a substitute for checking current requirements for the particular site. The firm can coordinate document review with a local specialist before a commitment; the applicable process depends on the property and transaction.
