Seller. How much do you know about the real estate group you are dealing with? We recommend doing a research on the web to find out about their work, other projects, buyers' opinions, etc.

 

What is your business model?  You have already chosen a place that you love, you fully trust the seller, but how are you going to obtain income from vacation rentals? There are 4 options:

How is the process of buying an apartment in Playa del Carmen?

1. Proposal letter. To formalize your desire to buy an apartment, it is necessary to write a document that we will call "Proposal letter" or "offer letter", here everything related to the price and payment terms is detailed.

 

2. Pre-payment. At this stage we make a payment corresponding to a certain percentage of the total value of the property to ensure the availability of the unit and thereby guarantee your purchase commitment.

 

3. Down payment. Here the agreed disbursement is made according to the payment plan you chose; If it is a cash purchase, payment is made for the total amount of the property and the contract is reviewed.

 

4. Document review. Once the seller accepts your proposal, they will inform you of the necessary documentation to prepare the purchase-sale contract that you can review with your lawyer.

 

5. Purchase-sell contract. Now both parties make agreements where the duties and obligations of each one are established.

 

6. House deed. Finally, the necessary documents are gathered for the final property title contract, which is carried out before a notary public.
