Too many buyers fall in love with a floor plan, a promo rate, or a nice amenity deckโthen skip the unglamorous but critical checks that actually protect their investment. This carousel breaks down five non-negotiables every buyer should verify before reserving a condo or property in the Philippines:
1. Developer credentials and license to sell (SEC, DHSUD/HLURB, PD 957); title status and encumbrances (CCT/TCT, certified true copy, liens, annotations)
2. Taxes, permits, and compliance (RPT, building permit, occupancy permit, LTS, turnover terms)
3. Seller/broker authority and payment safety (PRC-licensed agents, official receipts, proper payment channels)
4. Physical inspection and contract details (site tripping, unit condition, refund, and delay clauses)
These are the same checkpoints I use when advising clientsโwhether theyโre first-time buyers, OFWs, or seasoned investors. Because in the Philippines, a clean title and a compliant project matter more than a flashy launch event.
