Things Clients Often Ask
How do I know if a property title is clean before buying?
NIEUWLAND conducts a complete title search with the Register of Deeds, checks for annotated mortgages or legal liens, and verifies property tax records before any money changes hands.
What taxes are involved when buying or selling real estate in the Philippines?
Standard transactions involve Capital Gains Tax or Withholding Tax, Documentary Stamp Tax, Local Transfer Tax, and Registration Fees. We compute all exact costs beforehand so there are no unexpected surprises.
Can I sell a property if I am currently living overseas?
Yes. You can sign a Special Power of Attorney authenticated at a Philippine embassy or certified with an Apostille in your host country to authorize a representative in the Philippines to handle the sale on your behalf.
How long does a standard property title transfer take?
A typical title transfer takes between two to four months depending on tax bureau processing schedules and local Register of Deeds timelines.
