Foreign Investment in Mexico has increased in the few past years, since individuals looking for a place to retire to people wanting to establish a business. All of them have chosen Mexico, and in particular Yucatan.

Foreigners are able to legally buy real estate anywhere in Mexico. In case you, as a foreigner, want to buy in an area called as “restricted zone”, which is 50 kilometers from the coast and 100 km from the borders a Trust Bank or a Mexican corporation will be required for the acquisition. Anywhere else in Mexico is considered “out of the restricted zone” and you are able to buy under your own name without having to use any of the legal vehicles mentioned above.

Property Title Search and Due Diligence

These two processes are very important to be taken to assure our clients they are purchasing a property with a clear title. Prior you purchase any property, is very important to make an extensive search in the public records to determinate if the property you are willing to buy has no liens or any other defects that will be a further problem for you. We search the legal source of the property at the Public Land Recording Office (Title search), check that all utilities and taxes are already paid, check on the plot plans of the property, and search for elements to provide certainty to your acquisition (Due diligences).
