I would suggest you first get a copy of the certificate of sale and then you can use it for further verification. I suggest that when you do go to the BIR to verify, just be very pleasant and mention that you are just doing a follow-up.

Hello Jay,

Another question came in mind, I asked the broker if I could get a copy of the BIR receipts since they said they already paid the CGT. But he said they are also in the BIR office

Can I verify on BIR if the property is “in the process of consolidation”?

The broker btw will provide the Certificate of Sale. But I’m thinking of double verifying on BIR office.. if it’s possible.

Thanks again for your big help.

Hmmm, since it is still with the BIR, the I guess it would really take time but if you are planning on selling the property through rent-to-own scheme then 5 months of waiting would be acceptable. Regarding executing a deed of assignment, yes its a good idea and I believe its possible but you would have to check with that particular bank if they will allow this and if they will charge any assignment fees, etc.

Hello Jay,

Thanks for your response. Regarding the stage, it was already filed and currently in the BIR office…… waiting

The broker revealed that the bank will not sign into a compromise agreement such as mandatory refund of your money. They will tell you “just not bid until the title is consolidated”.

I can enter a rent-to-own agreement with the prospect buyer to make-up with the time or….. Is it possible to make a Deed of Assignment / Transfer of rights document so that I can get my money back + profit then the bank will transfer the title into my buyer’s name once it is consolidated?

In that way, I also don’t need to pay necessary taxes. Do you think this is a good work-around? I can renovate the property then transfer my rights to another buyer. He/she will either pay the mortgage in cash or assume the mortgage payments.

Thanks.

Hi Tyrone, nice to see you here. Congrats for being featured in Good Housekeeping!

There are a lot of SPV’s out there and last week my wife and I just had a meeting with one of them. The only problem with working for SPV’s is you might not be allowed to invest on the properties being handled by the SPV, at least that’s what our meeting hosts told us.

Hi Pinoyentr3preneur, it depends on what stage the consolidation is in and what investment strategy you are considering. For example, if the consolidation is already at the stage where the bank is just waiting for the release of the new TCT under the name of the bank, that would be acceptable to me as it should take only a few weeks for the registry of deeds to release the new title. For the property you mentioned, ideally it should be put in writing that all your money will be refunded if consolidation is not completed in X number of days plus interest, though I have not encountered or heard of any deal like this. I have heard of similar contracts where the seller will return all the buyer’s payments if the seller is unable to give the possession of the property to the buyer in X number of days. 5 months of waiting would still be okay if your investment strategy is to use the property as a rental property or if you intend to live there. Of course if you plan to flip and sell the property, 5 months is too long and holding costs would eat up a lot of your projected profits. Thanks for the question and for dropping by!
