Frequently asked questions
Important considerations for non-residents and international buyers acquiring residential or commercial property in Chile.
Can a foreigner buy property in Chile?
Can I buy remotely?
Foreign citizens enjoy largely the same constitutional property rights as Chilean nationals. A local tax identification number is required, and certain restricted border regions require prior ministerial authorization.
You can complete a transaction remotely by granting a special power of attorney. The document must be formally signed before a notary abroad, apostilled, and translated before legal use in Chile.
Why check the title before paying?
Who pays the notary and registry costs?
A title study confirms unbroken chain of ownership and ensures the real estate is free from liens, unpaid debts, municipal infractions, or unresolved inheritance claims before earnest money is paid.
Standard market custom places recording fees and copy charges on the purchaser, while seller tax obligations remain separate. Allocation can be specifically negotiated and defined in your purchase promise.
