The ins and outs of buying land in a foreign country are complex, and Chile is no exception.
“This one is also available,” Javier, the developer, said as he walked us out onto Parcela 25. Felipe and I stopped to take it all in, turned to each other, and smiled. The space, I thought. The gorgeous, open space.
Without the need for an architect, we got in touch with a former government employee who knew the ins and outs of mapping out the design in AutoCAD, and he was able to create all of the paperwork that we would need in order to register our house in the local municipality. We chose to use a maestro, as we knew a family friend who worked as one and felt confident we could trust him without the legal fallback of a contract. However, if you are a foreigner with few connections here in Chile, a maestro may not be the way to go. You would be in charge of acting as the contractor and sourcing materials, and you would have no recourse should things go south.
Those coming from most developed countries may wonder when the house inspections will happen. The answer is that they probably won’t. While the city is legally allowed to complete an inspection of the build, they are often too busy with other things to allocate time to this tedious task. Of course, this varies by city, and if you’re building closer to a city center, expect more red tape than if you decide to build in the country or a small town.
