This is the standard process for buying and selling on VTC360: six fixed stages with the money held in escrow until ownership is transferred.
- Dossier — the buyer receives verified information (ownership, encumbrances, visa status, sanctions, certified income where applicable).
- Deposit — reservation secured by contract; the deposit is held in escrow and is not transferred to the seller.
- Due diligence — comprehensive legal, administrative and tax review of the transaction.
- Escrow — the purchase price is held in escrow and protected: the seller knows the funds are available; the buyer knows they will not be released until the contract is signed.
- Signing — signed transfer with legal support and a complete set of documents submitted.
- Transferred — effective change of ownership, release of the funds and registration of the transaction (the completion is published in the price list under sold).
This resolves the question that scuppers private sales: “What if I pay and they don’t transfer the title?” / “What if I transfer the title and they don’t pay me?”. With escrow, neither of these things can happen. The target timeframe is 7–15 days from the signal, and the fees are published — with no last-minute surprises — at how it works.
