Buying or selling property in Puerto Vallarta involves Mexican federal law, state regulations, and — for foreign buyers — the restricted-zone rules that require a fideicomiso (bank trust) or a Mexican corporation. Grupo Nar is a bilingual real estate law firm in Marina Vallarta that has guided hundreds of international clients through safe, fully compliant property transactions.

Our real estate legal services

  • Due diligence: title search, lien and encumbrance checks, verification of the seller’s legal capacity, and review of ejido-land risks.
  • Purchase and sale contracts: drafting and reviewing promissory agreements, purchase-sale agreements, and reservation agreements in English and Spanish.
  • Fideicomiso setup and transfers: coordinating the bank trust, SRE permit, and beneficiary designations for foreign buyers.
  • Escrow coordination: structuring escrow accounts so funds are only released when every condition is met.
  • Closing with the Notary Public: working with the Notario Publico on the deed (escritura), tax calculations, and registration at the Public Registry of Property.
  • Condominium law: HOA regime review, condo regime creation, and dispute resolution.

How we protect foreign buyers

Most problems in Mexican real estate transactions — unclear title, unpaid property taxes, unregistered construction, or presale developments without permits — are invisible until it is too late. Our job as your real estate lawyer in Puerto Vallarta is to find those problems before you sign and before your money moves. We review every document you are asked to sign, explain it in plain English, and negotiate corrections when the terms put you at risk.
