🏡 BUYER AWARENESS: PLANNING TO BUY A LOT? CHECK THIS FIRST!
📌 Know before you buy.
Before paying a reservation fee or making a down payment for a lot, ask this important question:
“Is this property or subdivision project registered with DHSUD, and does it have the required License to Sell?”
📊 FACTS EVERY BUYER SHOULD KNOW
1️⃣ DHSUD registration and a License to Sell are important.
Under Presidential Decree No. 957, subdivision projects offered for sale to the public generally need a Certificate of Registration (CR) and License to Sell (LTS), subject to applicable exemptions.
2️⃣ A tax declaration is not the same as a land title.
A tax declaration may be evidence of a tax record or claimed interest, but it is not conclusive proof of ownership.
3️⃣ Not all land transactions have the same requirements.
Certain transactions, such as qualifying resales of previously purchased subdivision lots and partitions among co-owners or co-heirs, may be exempt from the License to Sell requirement. The specific transaction matters.
4️⃣ Check the documents before paying.
✅ Verify the title with the Registry of Deeds.
✅ Ask for the approved subdivision plan and the applicable permits.
✅ Verify the project’s DHSUD registration and License to Sell, when required.
✅ Have the contract and ownership documents reviewed by a qualified property lawyer when necessary.
⚠️ REMEMBER: A property not registered with DHSUD is not automatically illegal in every circumstance. However, if a subdivision project is required to have DHSUD registration and a License to Sell, do not proceed without verifying its compliance.
💡 A wise buyer does not rely on promises alone. Verify first. Pay only when you understand what you are buying.
