What are the disadvantages of buying a residential property under a company name

17 views
Purchasing a residential property under a company name can have several disadvantages:
- The purchaser may be traced to negative news or crime.
- The purchaser may provide an address that is unknown, believed to be false, or simply a correspondence address.
- The purchaser may appear unconcerned about the economic or investment value of the property.
- The purchaser may purchase property without inspecting it.
- The purchaser may purchase multiple properties in a short time period, with few concerns about the location and price.
- The purchaser may query about the AML/CFT reporting requirements.
- The purchaser may be a shell company, and representatives may refuse to disclose the identity of the true owners.
- The purchaser's known business activity and purpose may not match the real estate transaction.
- The purchase may be made without assistance from any marketing agent or solicitor and without taking any loan.
- The purchaser may appear hesitant or decline to put their name on any documents that would connect them with the property.
- The purchaser may appear to be acting as proxies for the purchase of the properties and make attempts to conceal the identity of the beneficial owner.
