Complete the transaction and handover record
Divide completion into legal transfer, final payment reconciliation and physical possession; a receipt for one does not prove the other two. Just before the appointment, confirm the parties, current encumbrances and approved property identifiers. On handover, record keys, inventory, meter readings, damage, access credentials and any outstanding building or utility dues with dated photos and signatures. Assign responsibility and deadlines for defects or missing items and keep the final title evidence with the payment audit trail.
Practical verification checklist
Closing and handover: Reconfirm title restrictions and parties' authority immediately before the registry appointment. Reconcile the agreed payment trail with the final deed, then document key delivery, inventory, meter readings, utility subscriptions, condominium dues and any unresolved defects in a signed handover record. Store the title and supporting receipts securely for later resale or disputes.
