Before you sign anything

§1

Can foreigners buy property here?

Yes, with no restrictions — foreigners hold the same property rights as citizens, for urban, rural, or coastal land.

§2

What an escribano actually does

Every sale runs through a notary who checks 30 years of title history before it's legal. Non-negotiable, and it's what makes the market safe.

§3

The 2026 tax on foreign income

A new 12% levy on passive foreign-sourced income applies from 2026, with an 11-year holiday for new tax residents. Worth planning around.

§4

Financing as a non-resident

Local mortgages exist but are limited; most foreign purchases are still cash. We'll point you to who arranges what.
