How are
deposits and down payments held? |
|
Deposits and down payments are held in escrow pending closing by
Jason Weaver, Attorney at Law (escrow agent). The escrow agent
is authorized to disburse to you all money you have paid prior
to closing in the event of our failure to convey title. |
| |
|
|
|
|
What is the difference
between a deposit and total down payment? |
|
The deposit that you are referring to is a 10% deposit to
reserve a parcel for purchase to be applied towards your down
payment should you wish to finance your purchase. The down
payment is the total amount required
as a down payment for the parcel of your choice. Should you wish
to proceed, you first send a 10% deposit and then at closing you
will be instructed to send the remaining difference, if
you choose to finance your purchase. If you do not choose
to finance, you would first send a 10% deposit and then at
closing, you would send the balance of the purchase price,
equaling the remaining 90%. |

When do I receive title? |
|
After closing you will receive the original Transfer Certificate of
Title or registered Land Certificate. If your purchase is
financed, we will send you documentary evidence of your
ownership of your parcel(s). After the mortgage is satisfied, a Transfer
Certificate of Title or registered Land Certificate will be
sent to you. |

Is it easy to purchase property abroad? |

of Belize allows foreigners outside their country to own
property in Belize. All titles are fee simple and title transfer
is registered with the Government of Belize. We can also
finance
your purchase. Purchasers qualify for financing as long as the
minimum down payment requirements are met. For a step by step
guide through the purchasing process, please visit the
Purchasing Instructions section and then fill out the
Parcel
Purchase Request Form noting the parcel(s) of your choice, we will
then confirm your parcel selection(s) and walk you through the
process. |
