Even if the Deed of Sale is not duly notarized the sale is still valid between the parties. However, the problem is that the property cannot be transferred in the name of the second buyer, if there be any,unless the first Deed of Sale has been duly notarized.But you can still sell the property at the risk of the buyer. Caveat emptor. Let the buyer beware.
