In recent years, more and more buyers have chosen to look at the acquisition process with greater attention and clarity. After the Nordis Law, the way people approach sale-purchase promises has gradually changed. At the same time, the desire for transparency and secure steps has become increasingly present. Today, signing a sale-purchase promise is no longer a rushed formality, but a moment when balance and being informed matter more than ever.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"3\">Entered into force on December 11, 2025, the Nordis Law limits the value and duration of a property reservation. After the Nordis Law, you can pay a maximum of 5% of the home&#8217;s price to reserve it. The reservation is generally valid for a maximum of 60 days. During this time, the promise or the final contract should be signed. If the developer fails to finalize the paperwork within this interval, the paid amount must be returned within a maximum of 30 days. Additionally, the Nordis Law sets a clear limit for the advance payment: it cannot exceed 50% of the home&#8217;s price before the project is finalized. This aspect will thus provide you with more security throughout the process.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"4\">Do not forget: a sale-purchase promise represents, in fact, the first step towards acquiring a home. Therefore, it is important for it to be analyzed in advance because it can influence the security of the entire transaction.<\/p>\n<h2><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-12929 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/hils.ro\/nord\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/interior-3.webp\" alt=\"Cum arat\u0103 o promisiune de v\u00e2nzare-cump\u0103rare dup\u0103 Legea Nordis\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hils.ro\/nord\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/interior-3.webp 1280w, https:\/\/hils.ro\/nord\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/interior-3-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/hils.ro\/nord\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/interior-3-1024x682.webp 1024w, https:\/\/hils.ro\/nord\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/interior-3-768x512.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/h2>\n<h2>What a sale-purchase promise looks like after the Nordis Law<\/h2>\n<p>The sale-purchase pre-contract is, in fact, the first concrete step toward your future home. Beyond the legal phrasing, it establishes the framework in which you and the developer move forward. Through this document, essential aspects are established:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"3,0,0\">the price;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"3,1,0\">the completion deadline;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"3,2,0\">the responsibilities of each party.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"4\">This is, in essence, the agreement through which you and the developer decide to move forward toward acquiring the home. It is the moment when the most important steps begin to transform plans into reality. Even if it does not yet represent the final sale, the document has important legal effects and deserves to be analyzed with care. Additionally, such a promise can involve considerable sums paid in advance.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"5\">Although many view the sale-purchase pre-contract as a simple formality, this is actually the moment when the greatest risks are managed. It is essential to analyze this document with the same attention as the final deed, because it establishes the rules and the security of your entire investment.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"6\">Below you will see what you need to check before signing a sale-purchase promise.<\/p>\n<h2>Checking the developer. Reputation and project history<\/h2>\n<p>A developer you can rely on offers transparency in communication and access to real information about the project. In developments like <b data-path-to-node=\"2\" data-index-in-node=\"136\">HILS Nord<\/b>, this openness is reflected in the way the following are presented:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"3,0,0\">the construction stages<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"3,1,0\">the amenities<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"3,2,0\">the home layouts<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Nordis Law, adopted in Parliament on November 12, 2025, brought several visible changes. One of them is how real estate transactions for properties under construction are viewed. For many buyers, this means more clarity right from the initial stages of the process. After the Nordis Law, the first thing you should analyze before signing a sale-purchase promise is the developer&#8217;s history. Before signing, it is worth pausing for a few minutes to check a few essential things that can make a difference in the long run::<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"5,0,0\">he developer&#8217;s prior experience says a lot about how promises made to buyers are respected,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"5,1,0\">completed projects and positive feedback are two other criteria that contribute to the smooth running of the transaction,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"5,2,0\">respecting delivery deadlines represents another criterion for the reliability of an investment.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Transparency is the fundamental pillar of a trusted developer. That is why, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@HILSDevelopment\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"76\">at HILS Nord you can follow the progress of the works in real time<\/b><\/a> \u2013 an essential aspect under the new legislative norms, which emphasize buyer protection. This openness offers a much stronger guarantee than any promotional material. Beyond monitoring the construction site, we encourage you to analyze real reviews and check already delivered projects to have a complete and objective perspective on the situation.<\/p>\n<h2>Legal status of the land and the building permit<\/h2>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"2\">A secure and well-structured project offers you access to essential information right from the beginning, without unnecessary complications. Transparency thus becomes a natural part of the way the entire process is built. In responsibly developed projects, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/hils.ro\/nord\/en\/location\/?utm_source=organic&#038;utm_medium=blog&#038;utm_campaign=articol\"><b data-path-to-node=\"2\" data-index-in-node=\"265\">HILS Nord, a residential complex in Pipera<\/b><\/a>, attention to documentation and to each contractual stage is essential.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"3\">After the Nordis Law, another important step in signing a sale-purchase promise is checking the legal status of the land. A land registry excerpt (extras de carte funciar\u0103) could confirm the developer&#8217;s ownership right and the absence of encumbrances that would affect the transaction.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"4\">For signing a sale-purchase pre-contract, the two key elements are:<\/p>\n<ul data-path-to-node=\"5\">\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"5,0,0\">the building permi<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"5,0,0\">the urban planning documentation<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Unrestricted access to this information represents a good indicator of a secure project and a correctly founded real estate development. However, the final file should be consulted together with a specialist to prevent complicated situations in the long run.<\/p>\n<h2>Execution deadlines and penalties provided in the contract after the Nordis Law<\/h2>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"2\">Currently, buyers are paying closer and closer attention to completion deadlines. After the Nordis Law, a contract should include precise dates regarding the delivery of the home. At the same time, you should find stipulated any eventual penalties applicable in case of delays.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"3\">Furthermore, after the Nordis Law, all amounts paid in advance by buyers must be deposited into a bank account dedicated exclusively to the project. Using the funds for any other purpose is strictly prohibited. Failure to comply with this obligation can lead to sanctions of up to 1% of the developer&#8217;s turnover.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"4\">With the implementation of the new law, there are several strong points for buyers and points where developers must be very careful:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"5,0,0\">in the context where the level of advance payments is limited, this requires more careful planning of the resources used and rigorous financial discipline;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"5,1,0\">according to the new legislative requirements, internal processes must be adapted to use dedicated accounts and respect the established deadlines;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"5,2,0\">reconfiguring cash-flow strategies, because the advance payments collected from sales can no longer be used with great flexibility;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"5,3,0\">consolidating buyer trust and creating a more stable climate contribute to the maturation of the real estate market;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"5,4,0\">aligning with European practices means correlating payments with the actual stage of the works and with the progress of the construction;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"5,5,0\">increasing the visibility of good-faith developers by filtering out projects that did not respect real estate market standards.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>The role of a notary and consulting a lawyer<\/h2>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"2\">After Nordis Law, consulting a lawyer specialized in real estate law can make the difference between an informed decision and a risky one. Despite the fact that the notary verifies the legality of the documents, the lawyer analyzes the contract from the perspective of your interests. By being open with them, the lawyer can identify clauses that deserve to be adjusted according to your needs.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"3\">This step is an investment in the security of the real estate transaction you are about to close. Legal support becomes an essential part of the process, especially as projects become increasingly complex. The Nordis Law highlights the importance of responsibility and commitment in the real estate market. For many buyers, these changes mean the peace of mind that comes with knowing every step is well established. This protects them from stress and subsequent unnecessary complications. For HILS Nord, this law integrates naturally within a broader philosophy that involves open communication, adaptability, and responsibility.<\/p>\n<h2><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-12930 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/hils.ro\/nord\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/interior-2.webp\" alt=\"complex reziden\u021bial Pipera\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hils.ro\/nord\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/interior-2.webp 1280w, https:\/\/hils.ro\/nord\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/interior-2-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/hils.ro\/nord\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/interior-2-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/hils.ro\/nord\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/interior-2-768x432.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/h2>\n<h2>After the Nordis Law: the shift in mindset within the Romanian real estate market<\/h2>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"2\">For responsibly developed projects, such as <b data-path-to-node=\"2\" data-index-in-node=\"44\">HILS Nord<\/b>, the Nordis Law does not change the direction. It confirms a philosophy that is already present: transparency, sustainable construction, and care for the community. In a <b data-path-to-node=\"2\" data-index-in-node=\"224\">Pipera residential complex<\/b> designed as an urban ecosystem, legal security becomes one of the essential pieces of the entire endeavor.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"3\">With the adoption of the Nordis Law, buyer behavior has gradually begun to change. In real estate transactions, people today seek more clarity and openness. Likewise, developers are increasingly attentive to how they communicate every stage of the project. When information is presented transparently, the process can be navigated with ease by both parties. For projects like HILS Nord, the Nordis Law represents a natural stage in the maturation of the real estate market in Romania. In the case of a Pipera residential complex, the emphasis always falls on transparency, security for you, quality, and responsibility.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"4\">Choosing a home is not just a legal decision, but a deeply personal one. Beyond paperwork and clauses, each step taken with care brings more peace of mind to this process. And when you choose a responsibly built project, your future home begins to take shape from the very moment you read the first documents.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"5\">If you wish to explore a responsibly and transparently built project, discover more about HILS Nord and how the living experience is designed.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sources:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/legislatie.just.ro\/Public\/DetaliiDocumentAfis\/305018\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Legislatie.just, LEGE nr. 207 din 8 decembrie 2025<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.juridice.ro\/813141\/legea-nordis-varianta-promulgata-prezentare-prevederi-principale-si-implicatii-practice.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Juridice.ro, Legea Nordis (varianta promulgat\u0103): prezentare, prevederi principale \u0219i implica\u021bii practice<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/romania.europalibera.org\/a\/legea-nordis-a-intrat-in-vigoare-ce-garantii-primesc-cumparatorii-de-apartamente-in-faza-de-proiect\/33620471.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Europa Liber\u0103, Legea \u201eNordis\u201d a intrat \u00een vigoare, cu noi garan\u021bii care s\u0103 protejeze cump\u0103r\u0103torii de locuin\u021be aflate \u00een construc\u021bie <\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you start looking for a home, many questions inevitably arise.
