Answers to help you understand real estate legal matters in Mexico.
Essential due diligence includes: verifying the seller has clear title, searching for liens or encumbrances at the public registry, confirming zoning and land use permits, verifying property taxes are paid, checking for environmental restrictions, confirming utilities are legal, and reviewing any HOA rules or restrictions. We handle all of this for you to protect your investment.
Yes, foreigners can buy property in the restricted zone (within 100km of borders or 50km of coast) through a FIMPES trust. This bank trust holds legal title while you retain beneficial ownership. The process is straightforward and your rights are fully protected. We can set up and manage this trust for you.
Closing costs in Mexico typically range from 5-8% of the property value and include: acquisition tax (2-4%), notary fees (1-2%), registration fees, appraisal costs, trust setup fees (if applicable), and legal fees. We provide a detailed estimate before closing so there are no surprises.
The timeline varies based on complexity. With clear title and no complications, transactions can close in 30-45 days. If due diligence reveals issues, or if it's a new development purchase, it may take longer. We work efficiently while ensuring all legal requirements are met to protect your interests.
Key elements include: clear rental terms and duration, security deposit terms, maintenance responsibilities, utility arrangements, rules and restrictions, subletting provisions, early termination clauses, and procedures for dispute resolution. We review leases to ensure your rights are protected, whether you're landlord or tenant.
