HOW TO PURCHASE PROPERTY IN ESCAZU

Purchasing real estate is one of the largest investments you will ever make and a dream that you want to fulfill with many great memories & moments. That said you would not want your Escazu real estate purchase to be the largest costly mistake. There may or may not be a few possible debts. If there are debts, make sure they are all settled on, or before closing, transfer of the property. You definitely do not want to inherit any debts. Do your homework first. Verify who owns the property and if there are any debts. Have a CHECKLIST READY.

  1. Municipality Tax Receipts / Certified Letter-have the seller provide you with a paid in full municipality property tax receipt for the quarter or the entire year. Even better would be a certified letter stating all taxes have been paid up to date. The Escazu municipality can provide that to you as well. Just bring the property ID number or Folio Real number.
  2. Homeowner Association Fees-If the home is under an association or management, have the seller provide you with a letter from the Homeowners Association or the Condominium Management, that all fees have been paid up to date and that there are no outstanding balances.
  3. National Registry-verify in the National Registry that the home or property does not have any liens or debts on the property. You can verify yourself at the National Registry or have your real estate agent, or an attorney verify for you.

Getting started– once you have found your perfect home, verified who owns the property and lastly you are satisfied with your due diligence, a call to action would be to place an offer. Once your offer is accepted, have your real estate agent or lawyer prepare a purchase agreement also known as “opcion comprar de venta”.

All properties also known as “finca” are registered with the National Registry with a property title number also known as the Folio Real Number. The Folio Real Number must be in the purchase agreement.  The property can be held in an individual’s name or a corporation.  If the property is held by a corporation, then verify that the seller has the authority to sell the property or the corporation. If the seller agrees you can buy the shares of the corporation to obtain the property / home. The other option you have is to simply transfer the property to yourself or another corporation. An attorney can perform all due diligences and transfer of shares or properties.

If you plan on getting a mortgage loan, than the bank and their attorney will do all the due diligence and transfer of property or shares on your behalf.
