Spanish term

ENTREGAR PROPIEDAD -

Spanish to English Law/Patents Real Estate
Hola,

Estoy revisando un contenido de revista de inmobiliarias, y me encontré con "deliver a house", lo que no me parece que suena muy natural en inglés. Alguien me podría ayudar encontrar un equivalente adecuado para "entregar una propiedad" en ingles?

Gracias.

AllegroTrans May 29, 2017:
thanks But please post the actual complete sentence in Spanis
enozzero (asker) May 29, 2017:
I apologize. I´m referring to those cases when the real-estate developers are supposed to refund the buyers if the houses do not end up in the buyer´s possession.
AllegroTrans May 24, 2017:
Please Asker post the actual sentence containing this so we can see how it fits. We also need the context i.e. exactly what the document is (lease, contract for sale, repossession order...)

transfer title (or) ownership

Would either of these expressions work in your context?

Yes, more context is certainly needed--that's why I asked the Asker whether either of my two options would work in his context.

Spanish term (edited): ENTREGAR PROPIEDAD

RETURN THE PROPERTY

Without context, I'm guessing your text may deal with property being rented (e.g. rentals, condos rented, etc.) that must be returned by the end of the lease in tenantable condition.

DELIVER PROPERTY

As I explained in my reference comments below, "deliver" is one possible option that can be used with in property handover transactions.

NB: Incluso entre nativos pueden existir discrepancias sobre lo que "suena natural en inglés". Algunas frases que suenan perfectamente normal en, por ejemplo, los EE.UU, pueden parecer extrañas en otros lugares. Incluso entre regiones de los países hay diferencias.
Example sentence:

Our acquisition service gives you discretion and a strategic approach to ... ultimately deliver the property you need

... failure to deliver the property itself, as in a sale of goods...

Peer comment(s):

neutral AllegroTrans : without the definite article? anyways we haven't anywhere near enough context

Yes, same as the almost context-free query term: ENTREGAR PROPIEDAD

surrender the property

Is this being used in a legal context in which the holder of the mortgage note or law enforcement is attempting to take ownership of this property? It that is the case, I would say "surrender the property."
Note from asker:
Yes! Thank you!!

Reference:

"Deliver a house"

In certain contexts, it would not be unusual to see "deliver a house/property". However, before judging whether it is appropriate or not, we would need to see the actual context where it appears, as "contenido de revista de inmobiliarias" is too vague. For example in this sample sentence, the phrasal verb "hand over" could be replaced by "deliver" perfectly well.
"We will ... collect the balance of the funds and hand over the title deed and keys to the purchaser's solicitor/conveyancer."
We usually talk about delivering the keys of the house/property to the buyer, as in the example.
Example sentence:

We deliver the keys to the purchaser.

... if you are a developer, you have to allow the necessary time in the contract of sale to deliver the property to the purchaser...
