Foreign ownership
Separate lifestyle fit from ownership structure.
Foreign buyers and long-stay renters should understand the difference between renting, buying a condo, lease structures and land-related arrangements before committing funds.
This website is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. Ownership structures should be checked with independent professionals before signing or transferring money.
Ownership topics
Questions that shape the review
- Is the target property a condo, villa, house, land plot or lease arrangement?
- Which rights are actually being transferred, and for how long?
- Which restrictions apply to foreign ownership, control and resale?
- Would renting in the area first expose noise, transport or maintenance problems?
Historic marriage-and-property-rights topics should be treated as a separate ownership review, not as a shortcut around restrictions. If a purchase depends on a spouse, partner, company or nominee-style arrangement, document who pays, who signs, who controls resale decisions and what happens if the relationship or company structure changes. Independent advice is especially important before transferring funds into a structure you do not fully control.
