05

List missing information

Separate government records, seller statements and professional findings; complete identity, service, mechanical and restriction checks before committing.
What should you prepare?

Findings table; documents.

Please note

No single search replaces all transaction checks.

Official sources

These links let you check with the responsible authority. The website's verification date does not guarantee that every detail has remained up to date since then.

Frequently asked questions

Can database results be presented as a pre-purchase inspection?

Describe them as dated public-information results, not mechanical opinions or certification of no restrictions or damage.
