Legal & Closing
Trust isn't a promise — it's a paper trail. This is who is involved in your transaction, what each professional answers for, and what you receive at every stage.
We recommend independent U.S. counsel, chosen by you, to review the purchase agreement. We send them every document in English.
A state-licensed notary — mandatory in every Argentine property transfer — who personally certifies title and executes the deed.
A complete closing file, translated, that any U.S. professional can audit.
Questions, Answered Plainly
Yes — fully and in your own name. Argentina places no general restrictions on foreign ownership of urban residential property. Your deed (escritura) is registered exactly like a local owner's, with the same property rights. Only certain rural border-zone land has special rules, which do not apply to this property.
Release conditions are agreed and written down before you wire anything. In Argentina, a deposit is usually paid when the purchase agreement is signed, and the balance is paid on the day the deed is signed before the escribano, the same day you receive the keys. Registration follows afterwards. If you would like your funds held by a third party until closing, ask us about the options before you commit.
No. Closing can be done through a power of attorney signed at an Argentine consulate in the U.S. That said, we encourage a visit — we'll organize a private tour of the property and the neighborhood, and you may find the trip is the best part.
Plan for roughly 3–4% of the purchase price in combined costs on the buyer's side: notary fees, stamp tax and registration. The dossier includes a line-by-line estimate with no hidden items, and annual property taxes in Argentina are low by U.S. standards.
Before closing, the escribano performs a mandatory title study going back decades: ownership chain, liens, mortgages, easements and unpaid taxes. We translate the findings into a written English report you receive before any funds are committed — and your own advisors are welcome to verify it independently.
There is no commission for the buyer. Your costs are the usual closing costs (escribano, taxes and registration), listed line by line in the dossier before you sign anything.
Yes. As the owner you can rent the home out, long-term or seasonally. Ask us and we'll put you in touch with local property managers.
