Property Due Diligence: Common Questions
How do I verify a property title in the Dominican Republic?
Start with the Certificate of Title (Certificado de Título): check the registered owner, matrícula number, cadastral designation and property area. Then confirm that the information is current by requesting a Certificación del Estado Jurídico del Inmueble from the Registry of Titles. A document alone can be outdated, so the current registry status matters.
How can I check if a property has a mortgage or lien?
Registered mortgages, liens and other encumbrances appear in the registry records of the property. The Legal Status Certificate shows the entries registered at the time of issue. Entries that have been cancelled are shown as cancelled in the registry history, which is why the property record review is useful as well.
What is a Certificación del Estado Jurídico del Inmueble?
It is an official certification issued by the Dominican Registry of Titles that states the current legal status of a registered property, including the registered owner and any registered liens, mortgages or encumbrances. Aguasol24 does not issue it; we process the request, review it and explain the result to you in plain English.
What documents should be checked before buying property in the Dominican Republic?
Typically: the Certificate of Title, a current Legal Status Certificate, cadastral information, the seller's identification and authority to sell, property tax status, condominium or HOA documents where applicable, and the draft purchase documentation. The exact list depends on the property and the structure of the transaction.
Does a document review replace full legal due diligence?
No. A document review covers the information shown in the submitted documents or official certificate. It does not replace full legal due diligence, legal representation or an official certification issued by the Registry of Titles. For a purchase, we recommend the full due diligence package.
