Welcome Home: The Basics

Buying a home abroad can feel intimidating, but thankfully the Dominican government makes this process relatively easy for non-residents. In fact, many expats are pleasantly surprised to learn that buying property in the DR is straightforward in terms of financing, as well as all other related details. Typically the main initial hurdle to meet is having a minimum of a 30% downpayment to put on your home, as well as passing the initial verification process which can take some time to finish. Also worth noting is that you will usually need to be present when signing the final sale documents, however, there are certain cases where you may be able to assign someone the Power of Attorney and allow them to sign in your place if you are not able to travel.

As far as mortgages are concerned, the average mortgage term in the DR is 20 years long and rates are usually between 4-7%. Working alongside a lawyer, as well as a skilled building team like Casa Linda’s makes it easy to get approved and allows you to get one step closer to your island dream with ease!
