Title in your name, done right.
Transferring a land title in the Philippines means moving a property into your name through the BIR, the Registry of Deeds, and the Assessor’s Office — on strict deadlines, with penalties for missing them. Almeda Realty and Appraisal Services handles the entire chain end to end, managed by Jose Dante Almeda Jr., a PRC-licensed Real Estate Broker (No. 33179) and Appraiser (No. 11261).
Miss a deadline or a document and the process stalls, or gets expensive. We prepare the deed of sale, compute and settle the capital gains and documentary stamp taxes, secure the BIR eCAR, pay the local transfer tax, register the new title, and update the tax declaration. We handle transfers across Cavite, Metro Manila, and nearby LGUs. For what to prepare, see our guide on the documents you need.

FAQ
Title transfer: common questions
How long does a title transfer take in the Philippines?
A straightforward transfer typically takes around one to three months, depending on BIR processing, the Registry of Deeds, and the LGU. Delays usually come from missing documents or missed tax deadlines — which is exactly what we manage so nothing stalls.
What taxes are due on a title transfer?
Generally the seller pays the capital gains tax (or creditable withholding tax), and the buyer pays the documentary stamp tax, the local transfer tax, and registration fees. We compute each, settle them, and secure the BIR eCAR required to register the new title.
What is an eCAR and why does it matter?
The eCAR (electronic Certificate Authorizing Registration) is the BIR’s clearance confirming the transfer taxes are paid. The Registry of Deeds will not issue a new title without it, so securing the eCAR correctly is a critical step we handle for you.
What documents do I need to transfer a title?
Typically the owner’s duplicate title, the notarized deed of sale, the latest tax declaration and tax clearances, plus valid IDs of the parties. We review everything for completeness first — our documents guide is a useful starting checklist.
What happens if a tax deadline is missed?
Missed BIR deadlines trigger penalties and surcharges that grow over time and can stall registration. We track every deadline and file on time to avoid those added costs.
