DO YOU LIVE OUTSIDE THE COUNTRY AND WANT TO SELL OR BUY A PROPERTY?
We will provide you with the necessary legal advice, in order to be represented at a real estate transaction, by a relative or the person you designate.

Meeting in these cases with all legal requirements following the proper guidelines, provides the security you require.
TAX ADVISORS IN REAL ESTATE
Today, having the appropriate tax advice is critical to obtain a successful closing of any real estate transaction. The rules on this subject have changed recently in Peru therefore it is necessary to know in which cases the taxes must be paid as prescribed by law, and which are exempt from this. Payment of the "Alcabala" Tax on the Deed (sales price), Income and Capital Gain Tax, rental and sales tax on properties, and municipal taxes is necessary information you should know.
TITLE SEARCH
All the properties that enter our database have previously passed by a thorough study of title, verifying the good condition of the property registration in Public Records.
Likewise, we verify the registered information of all properties, crossing information with the RENIEC (National Registry of Identification and Civil Status), the SUNAT (National Superintendence of Tax Administration), and the SUNARP (National Superintendence of Public Records).
THE CLOSING PROCESS
The closings are made in the notaries' offices. We have agreements with the most important notaries of Lima. We advise on the closing procedures, review of minutes, deeds, registry deadlines and fees. We make available all our experience to make your sales transaction have an optimal outcome.
COMPREHENSIVE LEGAL ADVICE
If you need to register an intestacy, or the registration of the property in public records does not match its description in the municipal records, or your name or ID number were entered erroneously, we will provide you with the proper advisory services required to address these discrepancies.
We will also give you orientation in the removal of charges, liens, mortgages and other encumbrances.
