PROPERTY & RESIDENCY
Buying property does not automatically grant residency.
A property purchase and an immigration process are separate procedures. If you need both services, we coordinate each process separately.
LEGAL DUE DILIGENCE
Questions to resolve before signing or transferring funds.
A proper review goes beyond the purchase contract. It should confirm the seller’s authority, the registered property right and any liens, restrictions or obligations affecting the transaction.
How is the legal owner confirmed?
The certificate of title evidences the registered right. An up-to-date certification of the property’s legal status should also be reviewed for current entries, liens and encumbrances.
What is a certification of legal status?
It is a document issued by the Registry of Titles showing the property’s legal status and the current entries recorded in its complementary registry.
Should I sign a reservation agreement before due diligence?
A reservation can create obligations and rules for refunding or forfeiting funds. Its scope, deadlines and conditions should be reviewed before payment.
What should be checked when buying in a development?
Relevant items may include title to the land, the developer’s authority, permits, condominium structure, construction schedule, delivery terms and contractual protections.
How is ownership transferred after the purchase?
The transaction normally involves filings with the DGII and the Real Estate Registry. The transfer instrument, party identification, title documents and proof of payment method may be required.
Does purchasing property grant Dominican residency?
Not automatically. Real-estate ownership and immigration status are separate. When a purchase supports an investment strategy, the immigration requirements must still be assessed independently.
