How do I go about checking that there is no mortgage or impediment on a property?
Thanks in anticipation .

You ask the seller to provide you with a search from the Tapu (Land Registry)

Can this be done independently?

It can only be done by the registered owner or a lawyer

or your estate agent

The estate agent has to ask a lawyer

Thanks

when i was buying in 2006 I went to Unsal the noter with the kocan and he carried out all the checks and informed us of the rights to a drive on one side and the piece of land of the other.

I assume if one has a copy of the kocan it means you have permission

snd1966 where do I find this noter I presume he dug out a copy of the site plan as well which would be helpfull thanks

Why don't you ask the Vendor for a site plan it seems you are going about things in a most peculiar way.
Unsal will not 'dig out a copy of it' everyone who goes to him takes the relevant documents for him to look at.
He has a tiny office opposite the law courts it is just a door on the pavement.

The vendor is a swallow not here and has no record of site plan
I think the house is facing a wrong way

If you go to Lefkosa Land Registry with the Kocan you can get a site plan on payment of a small fee from memory it is on 4th floor?

Thanks for that

the seller did give me copies of everything that was required and then Unsal translated, explained them and after 2 days I returned to be told who's name the property was in and no claims outstanding.
