Legal & Escrow
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.
Independent U.S. counsel reviews the purchase agreement and escrow terms under instructions that answer to you.
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.
Into an escrow account held at a U.S. institution, under an escrow agreement governed by U.S. law. It is a domestic wire from your bank. Funds are released to the seller only when every closing condition is met and the deed is executed. You never wire money to Argentina.
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.
Our fee is included in the transaction and disclosed in writing before you sign anything. No retainers, no surprise invoices — you'll see every number in the purchase agreement.
Yes. Buenos Aires has a deep dollar-denominated rental market, both long-term and short-term. We can introduce you to vetted property managers as part of the closing handover.
