Chanote And Mortgage

Featured Replies

I'm in the process of buying a Condo. The developer has given me a copy of the chanote with his company's name on it.

However, I hear that he has a mortgage on the building so does the chanote mean my condo is mortgage free?

(Maybe he has a mortgage only on the unsold condos!)

Obviously, if I go through with the purchase while there is a mortgage on it then it may take a long time (forever?) to get the chanote in my name.

Any advice from someone who has been in this situation would be appreciated.

Any mortgage would be recorded on the back of the Chanote in question. For a building registered as a condominium the individual units are sold and/or mortgaged to the individual owners. The developers finances would be separate from the individual owners. If the building is not a registered condominium then that's an entirely different story.

Thanks IO,

I'll ask the developer for a copy of the other side of the chanote.

I'm sure it is registered as a condominium. So it is possible that mine's mortgage free but some others in the project could be mortgaged?

Certainly, individual owners can go to a bank and get a mortgage on their condo. Done every day.

Even if genuine the chanote is only accurate at the moment it was issued.

You shouldn't rely on the version supplied by the developer. Make you own / your lawyer's own enquiries at the land office.
