We know, the idea of having a little peace of paradise is pretty much anyone’s dream. What do you really need to think about when you’re buying a house in Costa Rica?
Here are some thoughts for you to delve over which might help you make a better decision.
Have a clear idea on what you want.
Dreaming is good, but in order to turn imagination into reality you should really clarify what exactly you’re looking for.
Is it a thatched bungalow surrounded by a veranda in front of the beach? Or a 5 acre hacienda more your style? Perhaps you’re more into a modern home close to a world class marina, golf courses and five star resorts…
Having a clear picture of what you want will help you zero in on the locations where you’re most likely to find what you’re looking for.
How different is living in Costa Rica? Many people lose themselves in their dreams of living abroad, only to find that there are some very distinct differences when they’re actually down here.
Our suggestion is that you spend some time here before you sell your home and all your belongings. And we’re not talking about coming down for vacations either, we all know that those two weeks away from work, sipping on piña coladas and dancing salsa can be intoxicating; make plans to get to know the culture, consider hiring a knowledgeable guide to let you in on the nitty gritty details of what it’s actually like living down here.
Chances are that you’ll probably end up liking it here, but it’s never a bad idea to explore before you take the big step.
The right price
Are you getting your money’s worth? Buying a home abroad can be tricky, when you’re a thousand miles away there’s always the possibility that you’ll be taken by unscrupulous swindlers.
That’s why it’s important to do your homework and make sure that you’re working with an established, reputable company that will guide you through the process of buying a home that you’ll be happy with for the rest of your life.
Look for a company that has an established track record; can you reach them by phone? Can they provide references and testimonials? If you go down to Costa Rica, can they actually show you that they’ve built homes, or are they just in project stage?
These are all important questions that will help you determine whether or not you’re getting the most bang for your buck.
Buying a home in Costa Rica can be one of the best decisions you’ll ever make, owning a little piece of paradise is not that far fetched of an idea provided that you know what you’re getting into.
