Preliminary sale contract Risk Review
Start with parties and property, and tie both to the exact property, party and transaction date.
Risk statement
Risk drivers
The evidence file should cover parties, property, price, deadlines/payments and registry annotation. A document can be genuine yet still be unusable if it belongs to a different unit, parcel, year or transaction.
- parties
- property
- price
- deadlines/payments
- registry annotation
Risk reducers
If price conflicts with deadlines/payments, preserve both pieces of evidence and identify the reason for the conflict before treating the file as complete.
Scenario test
Risk decision
Transaction example
Example: the file contains parties, but registry annotation cannot be verified. Keep the issue open, obtain a current official record and document whether the mismatch changes payment, price, use, finance or closing.

Residual risk
Severity
If the file contains two different versions of contract, record both dates, identify the issuer, and state why one version is operative. Do not silently overwrite the older evidence.
Risk statement
The review must connect preliminary with sale using evidence from the same asset and the same decision date. If either belongs to another unit, year, party or version, the apparent match is unreliable.
Mitigation
Decision
Probability
Test sale independently before using risk as supporting evidence. This prevents a secondary document from validating an incorrect primary assumption.
Practical questions answered from primary sources
Can notarial execution change whether a preliminary property sale promise transaction can proceed?
A preliminary property sale promise creates contractual rights but should not automatically be treated as a completed title transfer. Ministry of Justice materials explain the notarial role and possible title-registry annotation, while TKGM materials distinguish the promise/annotation from final registration of ownership. Key risks include a changed representative, expired or insufficient authority, property-data mismatch, a contract that does not itself transfer title, or a large payment before registration conditions are verified. Track each risk with evidence, status and a closure action.
