Only Deal with sellers who own the Property you intend to buy..
Before buying properties in the Philippines, make sure that the property is registered in the names of the actual sellers. Majority of the properties in the Philippines are titled under the grandparents or even great grandparents of the owners. Thus, there is a need to execute an out of court agreement which usually comes with a “grace period†of two years within which an heir not included in the agreement can question the agreement and the intended sale. This type of litigation is quite common in the country and is the usual root of problems. Ergo, it is best that you stay away from purchasing properties not titled under the actual seller so you can veer away from future problems.
