Answer this Question

When we asked expats what advice they would give a foreigner before buying a property in Dominican Rep, they said...

"1. It is important to research the area you are interested in buying property in, as well as the local laws and regulations that may affect your purchase. 2. It is recommended to hire a local lawyer to help you with the legal aspects of the purchase, such as title searches and contract negotiations. 3. Make sure to obtain a copy of the deed of sale and any other documents related to the property, such as a survey or title insurance. 4. Be aware that the Dominican Republic has a dual currency system, with both the Dominican Peso and the US Dollar accepted as legal tender. 5. Be aware that the Dominican Republic has a high rate of property tax, so it is important to factor this into your budget when purchasing a property. 6.
