Yes, Foreigners Can Own Property In Mexico<\/b><\/h2>\n

In the past, there has been some confusion over whether foreigners can own property in Mexico. Today, all foreigners are awarded the same legal protection when it comes to owning real estate. In fact, you don\u2019t even need to be a resident of Mexico in order to invest or own property. Previously, the Mexican Constitution had banned foreigners from owning land within restricted zones near the border. However, the Foreign Investment Law of 1973 amended that law so that foreigners can legally purchase real estate within restricted zones along the coast and border by establishing a Bank Trust, which is known as a Fideicomiso in Spanish. \u00a0Any and all real estate transactions relating to a Bank Trust or Fideicomiso are governed by federal law regulations. In Puerto Vallarta, foreigners can legally own Mexican real estate by opening a Fideicomiso.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Real<\/a><\/p>\n

Fideicomiso and Bank Trust \u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

Authorized by the Mexican office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the fideicomiso is a bank trust in which the bank is the deed holder. In turn, the foreigner buying Mexican real estate is the beneficiary of the trust. While the bank is the legal owner of the property, the beneficiary has the same legal rights of ownership as a national property owner. Therefore, the beneficiary may sell, rent or pass on the property as an inheritance gift to their heirs. How long is the bank trust term? A fideicomiso is established for a 50-year period which is renewable for another 50-year period at the time of expiration. If for some reason, the owner does not immediately renew the next 50-year term, there is a leeway of an additional 10 year period in which the owner can submit their renewal application. \u00a0If you decide to purchase a home that already has a fideicomiso in place, the trust is simply transferred to the new owner or can be renewed with a new term at that time. Lastly, the bank will charge a small annual fee to hold the property which is based on the value of the property. <\/span><\/p>\n

Real Estate Agent \u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

As with any real estate purchase, it is important to enlist the help of a reputable real estate agent and lawyer to guide you through the legal process. At Garza Blanca Real Estate, we are proud to offer in-house agents that will make the real estate purchase experience smooth and stress-free. Once you find your dream property, your real estate agent will help you to write up a formal offer and a \u201cConvenio de Compra\/Venta\u201d which is a sales agreement is created. This initial written agreement also comes with the expectation of a good faith deposit of 5-10% of the property price from the buyer. The seller will need to provide a copy of the Land\/Property Deed, and the buyer\u2019s lawyer should carefully review this document. When the deed is transferred to the buyer, the property payment will exchange hands and there are no limits on how much money can be transferred in or out of the country as long as it is declared. On average, it takes around 48 to 108 days to completely register a newly purchased property.<\/span><\/p>\n
