Real Estate For sale

Costa Rica laws and constitution protect private ownership of land and foreigners enjoy the same rights as citizens. Neither citizenship, residence, nor even presence in the country is required for land ownership.

Costa Rican law requires that all documents relating to an interest and/or title to real property be registered in the property section of the Public Registry (Article 460 of the Civil Code). Most properties have a titled registration number known as the folio real, and the records database can be searched with this number or by name index.

Whether you purchase an existing property or decide to build your dream house be well informed about the procedures involved so that you ensure your investment will be a profitable one.
