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 be one or more outstanding 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.
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 a written 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 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, then the bank and their attorney, will do all the due diligence and transfer of property or shares on your behalf.
