It also indicates a brief history of ownership and sales of the good in question.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Final Note<\/h4>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Before I close this series, let me tell you an anecdote. I\u2019ve been selling real estate for nearly twenty years down in Mexico. I remember going to the Public Registry, where all the documents and copies of the titles were filed physically. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Public Registry of Cozumel used to hold these documents for many regions of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.topmexicorealestate.com\/playadelcarmen-real-estate\/?art=publicregistry0323&amp;web=blog\">Playa del Carmen real estate<\/a>. Then they finally moved the Public Registry. They opened up another one to handle the properties of Solidaridad, the municipality of Playa del Carmen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-20134\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topmexicorealestate.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/catarina-carvalho-wC46c3IL3O0-unsplash-2.jpg\" alt=\"Property Public Registry in Mexico\" width=\"640\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topmexicorealestate.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/catarina-carvalho-wC46c3IL3O0-unsplash-2.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.topmexicorealestate.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/catarina-carvalho-wC46c3IL3O0-unsplash-2-300x188.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">What was striking about that is that about seven years ago, you would go to the public registry to look up the copy of one of the titles, and it was all done physically. They had these boxes, and they had to look up your national file number for the title. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">About five years ago, they started through this extensive process of digitalizing all the documents. Thus, now it is much easier to look up information regarding a property in Playa del Carmen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">I hope this series of articles have cleared all your doubts about buying your property long distance.
