Entry path — Newly Qualified Agent
Four modules and one exam, required before first accreditation. They complement — they do not replace — the IMPIC legal requirements for practising brokerage.
Caderneta predial, land registry certificate, use permit, housing technical data sheet, energy certificate and plans: what each document proves, where to get it, deadlines, costs and the errors that stall a deed.
RJAMI, obligations towards IMPIC, the agency contract, exclusivity, listing versus brokerage, and duties of information to the client.
Client and beneficial-owner identification, reporting suspicious transactions, record keeping, and the legal basis and retention periods for personal data.
Deposit, deadlines, conditions precedent, financing, encumbrances and scheduling the deed — with the points where deals usually collapse.
