Investing in the booming tourism and residential sector of the Dominican Republic—from the exclusive villas of Cap Cana and Punta Cana to the dynamic corporate developments in Santo Domingo—stands today as one of the most profitable financial decisions for European capital. However, the key to solidifying the success of an international acquisition lies not only in selecting the right property, but in the legal shielding of the entire transaction.
For foreign buyers, and most notably for our community of clients in Spain, the Caribbean legal framework can present distinct dynamics compared to those of the Old Continent. At ALTECO Inmobiliaria, governed by a strict philosophy of Due Diligence and legal rigor, we understand that safeguarding your assets is the absolute priority. For this reason, properly registering your property rights before the Dominican State is a critical step that demands absolute precision.
Below, we provide an executive, detailed guide on the real estate transfer process in the country: ranging from documentary requirements and turnaround times, to the fiscal structure of the 3% transfer tax and the legal representation mechanisms that will allow you to delegate the entire procedure to expert hands without ever having to leave Spain.
Welcome to a secure investment. Welcome to the Dominican Republic, guided by ALTECO.
