🔍 Buyer Beware: 10 Real Estate Myths Busted
What every buyer in Jerusalem needs to know (but no one tells you).

💥 Myth #5: If it’s nicely renovated, it must be all approved.
Reality: Not always. Unpermitted additions — especially on rooftops or balconies — are common and can block you from getting a mortgage or selling later.

Always check:
✔️ Were all additions approved by the city?
✔️ Is the space registered in the legal documents?
✔️ Are there fines or open violations?

👉 We verify every corner before you commit
