For example, cases are common when fraudsters allegedly transfer real estate to another person, in which other people are registered or the right of ownership extends to third parties, which were not mentioned earlier. It can be relatives, legal co-owners or a landlord who will assert their rights with a demand to leave their property after the transfer of funds, and the law will be on their side, and the contract will become void.

There is also a risk that the property is not privatized, is in foreclosure, may have large utility and mortgage debts, or may turn out to be a self-build. One way or another, it is advisable to use the services of a notary in advance to prevent the loss of money.
