There will be some specific legal fees which you will be required to pay to enable us to not only register your name(s) on the Title as owner(s) of the property, but also the mortgage loan. These fees are approximately 3% of the sale price, and represent half costs for stamp duty and registration. (N.B. The 3% is based on the Stamp Commissioner’s assessment of the value of the property, and the cost to register the mortgage loan may vary depending on the Institution from which you will be obtaining the loan)
If the bid is considered to be acceptable, and the Private Treaty Committee has approved sale of the property to a successful bidder, the successful bidder will receive a telephone call to firstly indicate the success of his/her bid, and advised that the letter of approval and other offer conditions should be collected from the NHT's office within two (2) working days of receipt of the approval. The unsuccessful bidder will be sent a letter, by mail, advising of the status of his/her bid, within five (5) working days of receipt of approval. The bidder whose bid was disqualified will be sent a letter, by mail, advising of the status of his/her bid, within the same time-line. N.B. If a sale is not approved, the NHT will continue to invite interested persons to make offers to purchase the property. We would appreciate if this request is given urgent attention, in keeping with a recommendation made by our internal auditors.
