title search

[Chip]

Another option and certainly probably the most econmical is to get a surveyor to do the title search for you. In fact, I'm sure many lawyers hire a local surveyor to research the info then mark it up.

The typical info you will need is the following:

Certificado de Titulo
Constancia Anotada
Contratos de Ventas
Planos Catastrales (si hay)

The only unfortunate part is many surveyors probly won't speak English. I do have a German surveyor friend who does speak a little English who does this type of work. He isn't the cheapest but is a true professional and if you want I'll put you in touch and he can give you a cotizacion (proposal).

That is interesting, I didn't know that. I'm glad they changed that, though, because it was a serious problem. Thanks Fabio!
