dominican republic luxury villas

Does the DR welcome Foreign Investment

Yes! As many prospective expatriates will find, not all countries are overly welcoming when it comes to the prospect of allowing foreign investors to purchase a property. The Dominican Republic, however, is extremely friendly towards foreign investors and makes it simple to purchase your dream home in paradise, with no restrictions being placed on foreign investors.

How Does the Dominican Republic Govern Real Estate Transactions?

Real estate transactions are governed by the Land Registry Law of amendments. A new Land Registry Law was enacted in 2005, and oversees the steps involved in purchasing a home in the DR:

  • Selection
  • Offer of purchase
  • Offer Acceptance
  • Deposit and due diligence
  • Contract of sale
  • Balance of funds
  • Deed of sale
  • Ownership

Is Buying Land in the DR Difficult?

Buying property in the Dominican Republic is a relatively straightforward process, provided you stay on top of all requirements and work with the right legal team. At Casa Linda, we seek to make the buying process even easier by giving you access to buyer resources that clearly detail the buying process and make it easy to navigate each phase with confidence.

Are There Any Closing Costs or Tax Liabilities?

Yes. Buyers can expect to pay approximately 5% of the total sale price for taxes and closing costs. This 5% encompasses a transfer tax of 4.48%, document taxes, as well as stamps for registration and tips. Taxes are expected to be paid before recording the purchase at the title registry office, but you can take comfort in knowing that property taxes in the DR are incredibly low, meaning you can expect to save in the long run.

How Do I Ensure I’m Protected When Buying in the Dominican?

The reality of buying abroad is that, without the right information and legal team on your side, you do incur a certain amount of risk. With that being said, if you partner with a vetted community like Casa Linda, as well as a skilled attorney, you can remain confident that you’ll be protected throughout the buying process.

Health Matters

While there’s no shortage of details to consider when choosing your new home abroad, it’s easy to see why healthcare is typically at the top of everyone’s list of concerns. Having access to quality care plays a huge role in determining our overall quality of life, and for those with existing health conditions, or concerns for the future, knowing that you’ll have the help you need when it matters most brings priceless peace of mind. Fortunately, in the Dominican Republic, you’ll. Never have to compromise when it comes to healthcare.

World-Class Medical Care

Contrary to a popular point of confusion, the DR is home to exceptional healthcare despite being a smaller country in the Caribbean. The Dominican government has prioritized the healthcare system since 2001, and their medical care has consistently evolved into the world-class standing we have today. The Dominican now has a reputation as a leading medical care provider with highly trained doctors and state-of-the-art facilities designed to treat all levels of need. In short, not only is the Dominican leaps and bounds ahead of other Caribbean countries in terms of the quality of care offered, but shorter wait times and lower costs overall mean that residents have peace of mind here where it counts the most.

Affordable Insurance

While most basic healthcare in the DR is offered free of charge, healthcare insurance is available from many different providers to assist with any procedures, prescriptions or additional needs that are not covered. There are several types of plans available to choose from and the average cost of an advanced plan ranges from approximately $700 to $1500 USD annually (per couple). Plans cover doctor’s visits, hospital stays, in-hospital medicines, dental procedures, ambulance services, etc. and can be purchased on a yearly or quarterly basis, making them the perfect choice for part-time residents as well as those looking to make a permanent move.

Existing Prescriptions

For those who are concerned about being able to fill current prescriptions, you’ll be happy to know that doctors here prescribe the same as other places in the world, and our local pharmacists are well trained and able to advise on health issues and medicines. If you don’t speak Spanish, you’ll still be able to receive service in English at many pharmacies.
