A Polis house with land needs more than a street description
If the property includes land or is reached through a private or shared access route, ask your lawyer what the documents establish. A track used in practice and a legally documented right of access are different questions. Record boundaries, access arrangements and any visible structures that need to be compared with the relevant plans.
Do not assume that the whole fenced area, garden or nearby parking space belongs to the sale simply because it has been used by the household. A technical survey or other specialist enquiry may be appropriate. Properly can keep the request and response organised, but a platform illustration is not a boundary survey.

A buyer may be attracted by space to extend, add a pool or use a separate building. Treat those intentions as questions for the appropriate authorities and professionals, not as benefits already secured. The seller should describe existing facts accurately and avoid promising development potential without supporting evidence.
If several buildings, land parcels or interests are involved, describe each one at the suitability stage. Work that looks like a simple house sale in an advert may require a broader legal or technical scope. Confirm the written price and exclusions before relying on the standard digital sale package.
Plan viewings and completion around actual availability
For owners away from Polis, Latchi or nearby communities, identify who can provide lawful access and conduct viewings. Give that person a consistent property brief and a way to record questions they cannot answer. A useful viewing is one that identifies uncertainties early, rather than filling them with assumptions.
When a buyer is ready, compare funding, timing and proposed conditions. Ask the lawyer to explain the official transfer requirements and any representation needed. The platform coordinates tasks and documents, while the Land Registry and responsible professionals carry out the actual formalities.

- Identify every parcel, structure and interest included.
- Check documented access rather than relying on current use.
- Separate development ambitions from confirmed permissions.
- Arrange realistic access, viewings and professional inspections.
A fixed-fee alternative to scattered calls and manual chasing
A traditional sale can involve separate agency, legal and administrative conversations with no common record of the next action. Properly gives the practical process a shared digital home. You prepare the brief, conduct viewings and decide which offer to accept. The appointed lawyer handles the professional work agreed in the engagement.
The €3,995 price includes VAT and is paid at the start after scope and engagement are confirmed. It does not rise with the sale price and is not a completion-only commission. Compare this with your actual alternative quote, including whether that provider conducts viewings and when payment becomes due. A fixed package does not guarantee a higher price, faster completion or lower costs in every case.
Buying property in Polis with the right assistance
Bring the home you have found into a buyer case, or accept an invitation from the seller. Record financing, intended use, practical questions and the documents you want reviewed. Properly has no public property catalogue and does not recommend an investment or certify market value.
Identify who represents you before relying on legal advice. A lawyer in the shared room may represent the seller, and the buyer may need a separate adviser. Practical shared messages are not a confidential channel for one party. Ask the appointed professionals to explain the ownership route, contract, deposit conditions and payment instructions for the actual purchase.
From preparation to the official transfer
- Record the property, ownership, documents, mortgage and known issues.
- Arrange seller-led viewings and record practical follow-up questions.
- Invite the identified buyer or seller into the shared case.
- Confirm suitability, professional identity, represented client and written scope.
- Prepare proposed terms for the lawyer’s contract work and agreed checks.
- Coordinate lender, payment, document and official transfer requirements with the responsible professionals.
The property purchase money follows the lawyer and banking arrangements, not Properly’s public website. Taxes, registry charges, debt repayment, inspections and work outside the scope remain separate unless expressly included. Opening a case is free and does not appoint a lawyer or buy a package.
Questions about your next move.
Does Properly provide a property valuation in Polis?
No. The fee calculator compares service-fee assumptions; it is not a valuation. Obtain an appropriately qualified valuation or other professional assessment if needed.
Are land or boundary disputes included in €3,995?
Do not assume they are. Disputes, complex ownership and technical investigations need an agreed scope and may require separate professional work or a different quote.
What does selling through Properly in Polis cost?
The digital sale package is €3,995 including VAT, paid at the start after suitability, written scope and professional engagement are agreed. Optional marketing is €1,900 including VAT. Taxes, official charges, debt repayment and work outside the agreed scope are separate unless expressly included.
Can I get help buying property in Polis?
You can bring a property you have found into a private case and coordinate with the seller. Confirm who represents you and which professional work you need. The package purchaser and scope must be agreed; opening a case does not automatically charge both parties.
Does a digital sale avoid the Land Registry process?
No. The platform organises preparation and shared progress. The appointed lawyer confirms required documents, signatures, representation and official steps. A case status does not register ownership, release a mortgage or move money.
