Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know.
Buying from Abroad
Can I buy property in Colombia from abroad?
Yes, the process is 100% legal and we handle it fully remotely. We use an apostilled digital power of attorney so you don't need to travel to Colombia to sign. We guide you step by step.
How does the digital power of attorney work?
You can grant power of attorney at the nearest Colombian consulate or through an apostilled notary in your country of residence. The power authorizes a representative in Colombia to sign the public deed on your behalf.
How do I send money from abroad?
International transfers must be registered with the Banco de la República de Colombia. We help you with Form 4 (foreign exchange declaration) and connect you with international trade professionals if needed.
Are there tax benefits for foreign buyers?
Real estate investment in Colombia can offer benefits such as VAT exemption on new housing, property appreciation in Colombian pesos, and potential rental income in dollars if you choose to rent. Consult your tax advisor for specifics.
What documents do I need if I live outside Colombia?
You need a valid passport or Colombian ID, apostilled power of attorney, declaration of source of funds, and foreign investment registration form. We provide a detailed checklist and guide you through every step.
Financing
What subsidies are available for new housing?
Depending on the project, you may access the Mi Casa Ya government subsidy (up to 30 minimum wages), compensation fund subsidies (Comfenalco, Cajasan), and interest rate benefits. We help you identify which ones apply to your case.
Can I buy with a mortgage?
Yes, we work with all Colombian banks and entities like the FNA. We guide you through the application process, document submission, and approval. You don't need to have the full amount to reserve.
How much do I need to reserve a home?
The reservation fee varies by project but is typically between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000 COP (approximately $250–$1,250 USD). The remaining down payment can be paid in monthly installments until project delivery.
Do you accept payment from abroad?
Yes, we have experience with buyers from the United States, Spain, Chile, and other countries. We accept international wire transfers and guide you through the entire notarial process with digital power of attorney.
What if my credit application is denied?
We help you improve your credit profile and explore alternatives such as housing leasing, credit unions, or direct financing with PCG in select cases. We don't leave you alone in the process.
