Acquiring Property In Costa Rica by Brian Hughes
The process of acquiring real estate in Costa Rica is slightly different than it is in the United States and Canada. For example, there is no Multiple Listing Service, so you have to search individual agents�� listings and newspapers for the properties you want in any given location. Additionally, real estate agents do not require any special license to sell homes or property (they do not even need to be Costa Rican citizens). In other words, just about anyone can claim to be a real estate agent with little or no qualifications. Buying real estate in Costa Rica can therefore be a little tricky to the inexperienced, but it is very doable once you begin to educate yourself on what to avoid.
In order to avoid scams, the first thing you need to do after you have located a specific property is make sure that its title is officially listed on Folio Real, a computer system in the offices of the Public Registry in the capital city, San Jose. The Folio Real system organizes all of the country��s real estate holdings in one convenient location. We highly recommend utilizing this system as a first step in any property enquiry. This initial search will give you all the vital information concerning a specific property, such as previous ownership, liens, encumbrances, annotations or other issues that may affect ownership rights or the possibility of transferring the land to you. Most importantly, you need to make sure that the property is listed in the first place,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and that the person selling it has not been making any bogus claims.
Most land is titled and can be found on Folio Real. However, a significant portion of Costa Rican property has not been entered into the system because they have had no transfers or other transactions for a long time. These are still registered but must be searched for in person through hard-copy records at the Registry.
Property transfers require that a buyer and seller sign a deed before a Costa Rican notary public and for the deed to be recorded at the Public Registry. Notary publics in Costa Rica function a little differently and have a few more powers than their counterparts in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. They are required to formalize all real estate transactions.
Title searches on Folio Real properties may be initiated in the computer system, which is accessible on-line. It is highly recommended that you continue your search in person at the Registry in the manual entry system, especially when the computer search shows liens, encumbrances or other property characteristics inherited from older transactions on the land before it was transferred to the Folio Real system.
Even though the computer system may indicate a list of liens and encumbrances, a more thorough search requires the review of microfilmed or scanned documents providing the details of such finds, all of which are not accessible on-line. Generally speaking, private parties lack the legal training to be able to interpret the information accurately, safely and thoroughly, and may not perform required next steps. As such, we strongly recommend enlisting a knowledgeable professional to perform and report on the title search.
