We must bear in mind that, under any circumstances, the CPCV does not have the effect of transferring ownership of the asset to which it relates. This effect is only obtained with the execution of the promised contract, that is, the purchase and sale deed. On the other hand, like any contract of an obligatory nature, the CPCV only generates effects between the parties that celebrate it. Consequently, by nature, the CPCV cannot be opposed to a third party, which means that none of the contracting parties will be able to assert a right arising from this CPCV before anyone other than their co-contracting party.
To formalize your decision to purchase housing, you must sign a purchase and sale contract. This contract must consist of a written document, signed by both parties, and contain the in-person recognition of the signature of the promising seller and buyer and the certification, by the notary, of the existence of the respective use or construction license. The promissory contract is an essential document as it regulates the rights and duties of the parties and the conditions established for the business, in the period between the date of its conclusion and the execution of the public deed of purchase and sale.
