Property transactions in the Philippines tend to be undertaken without the need for lawyers but by the real estate agents.

However, at Investing in the Philippines you have the protection not only of our specialist lawyers in the Philippines but of lawyers in the UK checking their work and ensuring that your money is not at risk at any stage during the transaction.

Our lawyers, acting on your behalf, have decades of experience of acting for clients purchasing in overseas jurisdictions. You could not be in better hands.

In conjunction with our lawyers, we will deal with the legal work, from carrying out the due diligence in the buying process, to reporting to you on the title, explaining the ownership provisions so that you are fully comfortable with the same and finally the registration and storage of deeds with our lawyers on your behalf to ensure that your investment is 100% safe.

The Philippines has one of the oldest centralised Land Registries in the world. All purchases (apart from condominium units which are dealt with slightly differently) are registered with the Land Registry and deeds are issued in English. The original deeds are subsequently required should the property need to be sold. We can ensure that your deeds documents of title (for land and condominiums) are held to your order with your lawyers for additional security for you at no additional cost to you.

If you have any queries about the process do get in touch, we will be happy to assist in resolving any questions or allaying any fears that you have.
