The Process of buying property in Ecuador.

The Process:

Once an agreement to purchase has been negotiated but the buyer is not yet ready to pay the seller the full price, the buyer's attorney will prepare a Promesa de Compra-Venta, or promise to buy. As noted above, the Promesa de Compra-Venta document is similar to the sales contract in North America, although it is more formal and much more binding on the buyer. It is customary that the buyer makes a downpayment at this point, usually about 10% of the purchase price, when the Promesa de Compra-Venta is signed. The Promesa de Compra-Venta, which is a notarized document, states the sales price, the closing date and lays out penalties for default. Unlike a North American contract, there are fewer avenues for opting out of the deal. It is important that the buyer complete all inspections of the property and negotiate any price adjustment prior to signing the Promesa de Compra-Venta.

Depending on terms laid out in the Promesa de Compra-Venta, the final step in the purchase is execution of the Compra-Venta.

If the buyer is ready to pay the full price negotiated with the seller immediately, the Promesa de Compra-Venta can be eliminated, and the Compra-Venta, the final closing document, can be executed. This saves time and legal fees. The Compra-Venta is also signed in the office of a notary and all outstanding money due the seller is turned over. A brief point of explanation: in Ecuador, as in much of Latin America, a notary is an attorney with advanced training. Generally, you pay the notary at the conclusion of the notarization.
The buyer's attorney is responsible for researching the title of the property, making tax payments from funds the buyer has provided and, after the signing of the Compra-Venta, registering the property with the Office of Land Registry. The attorney is also responsbile for making certain any existing leins on the property are satisfied. The attorney will present two notarized copies of the Compra-Venta to the Land Registry. One will be filed at the Land Registry Office, the other returned to the buyer and serves as the property deed.

If the buyer is unable to be in Ecuador at the signing of documents, he or she can sign over Power of Attorney to an attorney or representative.

Closing Costs and Taxes
Closing costs and fees and taxes are very reasonable in Ecuador. A buyer should expect to pay about 1.5% of the purchase price for these costs.

Real estate taxes and fees are based on an assessed municipal value, generally 15% to 50% of the purchase price. The value will vary by area of the country and by such factors as whether the property is located in a rural or urban area. 
In other words, a house costing $170,000 may have a municipal tax value of $50,000. The buyer will pay a registration tax of 1% based on this municipal value. At the point of sale, a transfer tax, also based on the municipal value, is also paid. Your attorney should give you a close estimate of all closing costs prior to closing.
Property taxes are very low in Ecuador. The owner of the $170,000 house mentioned above, pays about $250 annually. Again, the tax is based on the muncipal value.

As we mentioned earlier, if you are not fluent in Spanish, make sure to have the closing documents translated into English or your  native language. This is well worth the extra expense. If you are present at the closing, the Ecuadorian notary will make sure that you understand the documents you are signing.
