Risk statement
Risk drivers

For the risk review focus, test the strongest claim first. If approved use conflicts with permit linkage, preserve both pieces of evidence and identify the reason for the conflict before treating the file as complete.

Transaction example
Example: the file contains occupancy certificate, but unit match cannot be verified. Do not mark “Occupancy permit status Risk Review” complete. Keep the issue open, obtain a current official record and document whether the mismatch changes payment, price, use, finance or closing.

Assessing occupancy-permit risk by consequence
The risk review should distinguish a missing or mismatched occupancy permit from issues that merely require a fresh copy. A higher-risk file is one where the permit covers another block, the approved use differs from the unit being sold, or later alterations make the current condition difficult to reconcile with the approved building. Long occupation, utility subscriptions or a seller’s assurance do not substitute for the competent authority’s record. In a multi-block project, confirm whether permission was issued for the specific block rather than inferring coverage from the development as a whole.
Translate each unresolved point into a transaction consequence. Ask whether it may affect lawful use, mortgage underwriting, condominium-registration steps, future resale or the cost and feasibility of regularising alterations. A risk can be accepted only when its scope is understood and the proposed cure is realistic and documented. If the official record cannot be matched to the purchased unit, keep the issue open instead of reducing it to a generic “iskan pending” note.
