Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about title transfer processing in the Philippines.
Flat fee of roughly ₱30,000-50,000 for typical individual-to-individual residential transactions. This is the processing fee only and is separate from the government taxes and fees (CGT, DST, transfer tax, registration), which you pay to the agencies directly. Complex cases (estate settlement, lost titles, foreign sellers, title reconstitution) cost more because of the additional work involved.
Realistically 2-3 months end-to-end if documents are complete on first submission. Delays at BIR or RD can push it to 4-6 months. We give you a realistic timeline at intake based on which RDO and Registry of Deeds your property falls under.
No. You can authorize us via a Special Power of Attorney (SPA) and we handle the agency visits. This is what most overseas Filipino and busy professional clients use.
No. A broker's professional fee (3-5%) is for handling the sale itself: pricing, marketing, negotiation. Title transfer processing is a narrower, post-sale service: shepherding documents through BIR, Treasurer, RD, and Assessor after the sale closes. Different work, different fee structure.
We'll tell you at intake. If your case needs estate proceedings, title reconstitution, or legal dispute resolution, those are separate engagements (often with a partner law firm). We're upfront about scope.
The property stays registered in the seller's name on government records. You cannot mortgage, legally resell, or fully protect your ownership against third-party claims. Many disputes years later trace back to skipped or stalled transfers.
