Make confident property decisions with advice from our experts

Asked by
After viewing a hse for sale, I asked the agent for documentary proof that the hse was legitimate, but the agent declined to provide any docs without getting a deposit of 10%. Pls advise what type of docs should I sight before putting down a deposit to show my sincere intentions to purchase the property. Also pls advise how I can ensure that houses on subsale are free from legal problems, as I don't want to pay a deposit on a house which I intend to buy , only to find out that the sale cannot go thru.

    Ok that's good advice, thanks very much. Since it's a preliminary action, n only to check that the property is legit, I can save money by doing this without employing the services of a lawyer, I realize though that once I ve decided to purchase the hse I will need a lawyer for the more complex legal steps.
