Buying a Property in The Dominican Republic

Your Real Estate Attorney should check that the following are all in order

• Permits: Have your attorney confirm that the property may be used for the purposes you require.
• Title Search: A certification should be obtained from the Title Registry Office regarding the status of the property.
• Survey: An independent surveyor should verify that the property being sold coincides with the one shown on the survey provided by the seller a qualified builder or architect should examine any improvements to be made to any structures to confirm that the plans presented are correct and that the improvements are in good condition.
• Possession: Your attorney should ensure that the seller is in possession of the property and that no tenants or squatters rights exist.
• Employees: The seller should pay any employees working on the property their legal severance up to the time of the closing; otherwise you may find yourself liable for these costs later.
