Buying a house, condo or lot in Mérida is exciting, and it is also the moment when most problems start: a seller who is not the registered owner, a lien nobody mentioned, ejido land sold as private property, a deposit lost because of one clause in the purchase promise.

We put together the checks we run for our own foreign clients in a two-page checklist you can print and take to every meeting with the agent, the seller and the notary. It is free.

What is inside

Before you make an offer · Title and debts · The purchase promise contract · Closing and the fideicomiso · After closing.
