Reading Time: 3 minutes

Buying property in the DR is a simple and straightforward process. The government in the DR encourages foreign investment and has some very common-sense requirements for buying property in their country. If you are looking for a tropical locale for your retirement, investment property, or vacation home, the Dominican Republican is a solid choice. The weather is beyond belief as are the beautiful sandy beaches. In addition to the natural wonders, the country is known for its stability and the ability to live a very comfortable life on a reasonable budget. Many ex-pats that have relocated to the DR first visited the country on vacation and fell in love! It's no wonder that the DR is own on the most popular ex-pat nations.

Buying Property DR

Whether you are looking to relocate full-time to the area or you are interested in buying property in the Dominican Republic, now is the perfect time to act. The financing is straightforward, especially when one works with an international bank like Scotia Bank. Typically, you will need to put down a minimum of 30% of the cost of the home. There is a verification process that will need to happen prior to the approval of your mortgage, and this process can be cumbersome. In most cases, you will need to be present when buying property in the DR for the signing of all of the documents and the closing. In some instances, you may be able to assign someone Power of Attorney and attend the closing in your place.

Mortgage terms in the Dominican Republic are 20 years and lending rates are higher than those available in Canada and the United States. At the end of 2019, the typical rate for a mortgage on a property in the Dominican Republic was between 4% and 7%. These quoted rates are from Scotiabank. The team at Casa Linda is very familiar with the home-buying process and can help you navigate this straightforward process. We are here to help you make the Dominican Republic your home!
