Documentation FAQ
Essential documents include the current land register extract, a draft sales agreement, identity documents for parties, any existing mortgage documentation, municipal building permits and a list of tangible inclusions. For properties with tenants, a current rental register is also important.
Notarial requirements vary by canton and transaction type. Many transfers, especially those involving mortgage inscriptions or corporate sellers, require notarised deeds. ImmoTopAkt checks cantonal practice and prepares the necessary notarial documentation when required.
Processing times depend on caseload and completeness of submitted documentation. Typical timelines can range from days to several weeks. ImmoTopAkt prepares complete applications and follows up with the register to help reduce avoidable delays.
Schedules should specify dates, payment milestones, a breakdown of included fixtures and fittings, any condition precedent items, allocation of costs and a clear list of documents to be handed over at closing. These items minimise later disputes about what was agreed.
