Look under the sinks in all bathrooms and be sure that there

are both hot and cold water lines running to all faucets. If the

development does not provide sewage lines, then a septic tank

paid for by the owner will be required. Be sure to request a

copy of a perk test as many of the soils in Central America are

heavy clay.

7. What about a Home Owner’s Association? Are the fees

high enough to cover the maintenance of infrastructure?

Yes, high enough. You should worry about low fees, because

fees set too low equate to expected surprise assessments in the

future. Or they may necessitate a drastic rise in HOA fees

when the true costs of maintenance are carried by the property

owners.

8. How will you build your home from thousands of miles

away? Who can oversee the construction of the home, and

what is included?

Look for a project that offers homes as examples of what you’ll

actually receive. What are the written specifications? Who is

going to validate these specs as the home is constructed? Have

they wired properly for 220v water heaters and air-

conditioners, and are there hot water lines to the sinks and

showers. Are lights, fans, faucets and fixtures included in the

price? Are appliances and AC units included? Is there a dryer

vent or a water line to the fridge? How about the telephone

and cable TV wires? All of these things we assume as North

Americans. Assume nothing.

9. Are there amenities and green belt areas for use by

homeowners and visitors like pools, parks, golf, tennis,

fitness and club house facilities?

“Buy what you see” is important and is the bottom line, but so

is knowing the vision of a project to be sure that the long term

plans align with your goals and desires as a homeowner in that

project. If public spaces are important to you, be sure they

exist in the master plan. Remember too that there needs to be a

plan for the care and maintenance of these areas.

10. Is the Development Company financially sound and do

they have a record of success? Is financing available for

property ownership?

Buying a property in a foreign country is like getting

married. You should know who you are marrying. Hopefully

the developer will be around for many years and, if so, you

want to be sure you are comfortable with the long term

association. In addition, because financing is rare in the

region, the developer should provide a form of financing as a

buyer’s option.

1. Is there year-round access to the area, and what is the

drive time from the airport?

Not all roads are accessible year round in Nicaragua, so

the maintenance and proximity are very important. In

other words, the key factor is the time to reach the

destination, not the miles.

2. What about safety, security, and healthcare access from

the property? How is security provided on-site and how

far to major medical care?

The important information is not how far it is to major

medical, but how many minutes by car in both the wet and

dry seasons. 24/7 security should be provided at entrance

with cooperating back up from local and national police.

3. Can title insurance guarantee be issued by a reputable

title insurance company?

If you can’t get title insurance from a reputable title

insurance company, you should seriously reconsider your

purchase.

4. Is there a building requirement, and what kind of

construction and design standards are in place and

enforceable?

Zoning is almost non-existent in Latin America and you

might not like what the neighbors next door decide to

build. If you want to live in a community and have

neighbors, be sure that there is a requirement to build in

order to avoid living in a “ghost town.” Know what the

deed restrictions are in place or you may be unpleasantly

surprised by a neighbor whose tastes are radically different

than yours.

5. Does the current infrastructure include high-speed fiber

optics, underground utilities, paved streets and

sidewalks?

Do not take for granted paved roads, street lights, or state

of the art telecommunications. If these are not properly

provided, and not just “promised”, you could be without

adequate communication. Rarely, if ever, the government

or utility company provides these services. If “It’s

coming”, don’t hold your breath. Buy what you see and be

sure that the prices are indicative of existing reality. You’ll

not be disappointed this way

6. Is there enough water and water pressure, and is the

home plumbed for hot water? What about sewage

disposal?

Water pressure must be planned and paid for. Either the

developer has installed the systems and covered the cost, or

the property owner will pay for this with storage tanks and

pressurizing systems. If you are considering an existing

home or condominium, turn on all faucets, inside and out,

the showers, and then flush the toilets. Is there sufficient

pressure?

Here are 10 Questions you need to ask before owning foreign

Real Estate An educated buyer is a happy owner. The answers to the questions below should be an important part

of your property selection process. There are no “right” or “wrong” answers, but we’ve found that the

things people take for granted or assume are standards in North America, may not be in Central

America.

Much of the world outside North America and Europe are the land of “Buyer Beware.” Be sure you

know the answers to the following questions and make a conscious decision about what levels of

creature comforts are mandatory and which may be optional. ECI Development and its Gran Pacifica

community have some pretty good answers to these questions so please be sure and hold us up to the

same scrutiny.
