Who Writes Our Guides

U-PropertyPH Editorial Team

The team behind every legal and how-to guide on this site

Every legal and how-to guide on U-PropertyPH is researched and written by our editorial team, working directly from the source rather than secondhand summaries. That means the Philippine Civil Code, the Property Registration Decree, the Condominium Act, the Maceda Law, the Local Government Code, and published guidance from the Registry of Deeds, DHSUD, and the BIR. We read the statute first, then explain what it actually means for a buyer, seller, or landlord.

How We Keep Guides Current

Philippine property law changes: fees get revised, agency procedures shift, new circulars come out. That’s why every guide carries a visible “Last reviewed” date showing exactly when it was last checked against current law and agency practice. If a guide doesn’t show a recent date, treat the specifics with extra caution and verify with a professional before relying on them.

This content is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute legal, financial, or professional advice. Always consult a licensed real estate broker, lawyer, or tax professional for advice specific to your situation.
