买了个二手condo, 昨天刚找完notary，今天agent告诉我卖方要以公司的名义给房子过户，而notary因为这种方式太麻烦，拒做Transaction， 让我另找一个。 请问
1.如果是从公司手里买， 而非个人，除了要加税以外(当然卖方承诺他会付税钱），还有什么其它的额外cost吗？将来会存在什么潜在麻烦吗？
2. 卖方事先根本没提是以公司的名义卖房子。offer和counter offer上都是卖方个人的名字，这个offer还有效吗？ 我能要求退出这个deal么?

谢谢大家了！！

我个人认为好象没什么问题。。。

notary可以查到该房产及土地的全部信息，他拒绝做一定有原因，你可以直接问你的notary得到最权威的回答；
另，如果房屋和土地登记的业主是公司而跟你签offer的不是那个公司，你当然可以不再进行这个deal，因为跟你签offer的人根本无权卖这个标的，如果你有损失还可以向同你签offer的人追究。

有的NOTARY懒，找房也很辛苦，只要房子合适就行。如果不合适，就借此机会退。我以前也买了这种，没问题喔。

你小心了，notary不做一定有原因，至少有潜在风险，现在确实不是买房子的时候，再观望一段吧。

Follow up:
1. What the notary told me is that the documents that seller provides requires certain expertise to verify, he can't tell right away it is a person or company and he does not want to "do this kind of search on the file".

2. The seller confirms me that the property was under his company name but now it is under his personal name. Also he called the notary to clarify.

3. What my agent told me is that certain notaries do not want to take the cases involving complexities because it is a profession with lots of responsibility. The way they run their business is that they ask for a little less but only deal with simple cases and do minimum verification on files. The one I got is apparently one of them.

I am going to find another notary then see what happens.

Thanks very much again for everyone trying to help me out.
