1. What is a License to Sell?
A License to Sell (LTS) is a certification obtained by a property developer from the Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board (HLURB). The Presidential Decree No. 957 under Section 5 declares:
Such owner or dealer to whom has been issued a registration certificate shall not, however, be authorized to sell any subdivision lot or condominium unit in the registered project unless he shall have first obtained a license to sell the project within two weeks from the registration of such project.It is a proof that the developer has a legitimate business and is financially stable to complete the project that they are selling.

What good will it do to finally come across your dream home, only to find out the developer doesn’t have a License to Sell?

Homebuyers can visit the nearest Regional Office of the HLURB which has jurisdiction of the place where the property is located. They can also verify this online for the list of projects that have an authentic License to Sell or Certificate of Registration, and even those which may have any encumbrances.

This is valid only for six months. If the project is deemed successful, then the developer must submit a Building Permit for its construction.

You may choose to cancel the contract and demand for a refund or proceed with the sale. The sale is still valid, but the developer will need to pay the penalties.
