While the decree is in force, for dwellings bought within the limits under a sales contract before the decree, completed and delivered to the buyer, the parties or the seller must complete the transfer at the District Land Registry within thirty-six months of the decree’s entry into force and pay all taxes and transfer fees on the same date. A person with a reasonable excuse who notifies it in writing within thirty-four months, and pays the taxes and fees, may transfer later; the Land Registry must decide on the excuse within fifteen days.^[1]
