Complete a Home Inspection

If you are buying a re-sale home, be sure to have a home inspection carried out.   This may be a cost in cash and time at the moment, but in the long run it could save you much more time and money than what you would spend now.   Most people know that this is an obvious step, but it's good to be reminded that obvious common sense applies down in Mexico as much is it does back home!

Be sure that the legalities of the property are in order.   Your agent will be able to point you to a title company that is reputable and reliable.

  

Following these steps, buying a home in Puerto Vallarta is safe and secure.   Time and money invested now will be saved back in the long run, and your purchasing process will be an ideal beginning to your new life in Paradise!
