Right to a Clean TitleThe buyer of a subdivision lot or condominium unit shall have a right to a clean title of said lot or unit upon the full payment of the purchase price. If the lot or unit is mortgaged, the owner/developer shall redeem the mortgage within six months from full payment so that the title could be delivered to the buyer. The only fee collectible from the buyer is the registration fee for the deed of sale in the Registry of Deeds.
Realty taxes can be assessed on the buyer if he has actually taken possession and occupied the lot or unit prior to the transfer of the title in his name. These are so provided under Sections 25 and 26 of PD 957, Subdivision and Condominium Buyers Protective Decree, thus:
Failure to Pay InstallmentsIn case the buyer fails to pay his installments for other reasons not attributable to the non-development of the project i.e. he failed to raise the needed money, he may avail of his rights under Republic Act 6552, Realty Installment Buyer Protection Act. This is so provided under Section 24 of PD 957, thus: SECTION 24. Failure to Pay Installment. – The rights of the buyer in the event of his failure to pay the installment due for reason other than the failure of the owner or developer to develop the project shall be governed by Republic Act No. 6552. Where the transaction or contract was entered into prior to the effectivity of Republic Act No. 6552 on August 26, 1972, the defaulting buyer shall be entitled to the corresponding refund based on the installments paid after the effectivity of the law in the absence of any provision in the contract to the contrary.
