PRE-RESERVATION CHECK

Before Reserving a Cebu Property: A Buyer Checklist

A reservation is easier to evaluate when the unit, total payment path, project documents and your own objective are already clear.

1. Identify the exact property

Record the project, tower or phase, unit number or lot, floor or block, approximate area, parking arrangement and the specific inventory status being offered. Avoid making a decision from a project name alone.

2. See the entire payment path

Ask for the reservation amount, equity/down-payment schedule, discounts or conditions, balance at turnover, financing assumptions and other stated charges. A low monthly equity figure is not the same as the total acquisition commitment.

3. Verify before urgency takes over

ProjectFor applicable preselling projects, verify registration and License to Sell information.
DocumentsRead the reservation form, contract path, cancellation/refund terms and written inclusions.
Buyer fitConfirm ownership eligibility, financing capacity and intended use before committing.

4. Separate facts from projections

Location, unit size, payment schedule and documented project features can be verified. Future appreciation, rental demand and resale timing are uncertain. If investment is part of the decision, test assumptions using the Cebu rental-yield framework.

5. Know what happens after reservation

Ask for the next documents, payment deadlines, identification requirements, contract signing process, financing milestones and expected turnover sequence. Overseas buyers should also review the OFW property checklist.
