This free initial list is not a legal review, does not confirm acceptance of your case and does not replace the tailored request approved by the lawyer after payment. Minimum documents for acceptance are checked separately, without AI. The 168-hour supplementation period begins only when the approved tailored request is published; the maximum 48-hour report deadline begins when the case file closes.
The fee applies to one apartment. A separate case is opened for each additional apartment. Parking, storage and rights over the land or common areas purchased with the apartment remain in the same case, including when they have separate cadastral numbers.
