Selling in Hanoi
Selling a Hanoi home: documents, taxes, fees and timeline
Prepare records, financial obligations, current addresses and transaction milestones before marketing a home.
Prepare one consistent record set
Gather title, ownership, identity, marital or co-ownership and condition records. Redact sensitive information in screening copies and show originals only through an appropriate verification process.
Reconcile former and current addresses
Administrative changes can make legacy documents look different from current addresses. Prepare an official cross-reference so buyers do not mistake the change for a property inconsistency.
Allocate taxes and costs explicitly
The agreement should state who bears transfer income tax, registration fee and service costs. Rules and exemptions depend on timing and circumstances, so recheck them when signing.
Plan deposit-to-handover milestones
Map document checks, notarisation, payment, tax filing, registration and handover. Allow time for supplementary records or mortgage release before promising a handover date.
