(currency is negotiating in each deal) -The price in the agreement
can be symbolic and it can bring you some troubles in future - No
legal mechanism to study title in details - 85% of deals include
relocating of the tenants to another flat (so, few deals are to be
combined chains) - A lot of wild agents & uncontrolled
agencies, who can provide unqualified service
