Coastal Property Due Diligence

Investing Near the Coast?

Coastal property requires careful legal review. Before purchasing, NO7ARÍA can review the property's legal status, registered ownership, liens, restrictions, corporate ownership and other matters relevant to the transaction.

Where applicable, legal due diligence should also determine whether the property involves titled property or rights subject to Costa Rica's Maritime-Terrestrial Zone regime.
