Buyer Risk Register

These are common property problems that can turn a good purchase into a court case or a stalled transfer.
Seller Authority

Title Annotations
Mortgages, adverse claims, notices of lis pendens, restrictions, liens, and old encumbrances can prevent clean registration.
Estate Complications
If an owner is deceased, sale and transfer may require settlement, estate tax compliance, heir consent, and correct publication or court process.
Tax Exposure
Unpaid real property tax, incorrect zonal values, penalties, estate tax, or missed BIR deadlines can increase closing costs.
Possession Problems
Tenants, informal occupants, co-owners, caretakers, or adverse possessors can affect actual control of the property.
