Not enough nearby rental proof for a defensible income band yet — verify on the ground before you offer.
- · Confirm registered fee-simple title (folio real), free of liens.
- · Confirm a legal water supply (AyA or ASADA letter / carta de agua) — no water letter, no deal.
- · Confirm municipal construction permits match what's built — unpermitted pools, casitas, or extra bedrooms are a closing risk.

Verify with your lawyer before buying
Check before you offer — Costa Rica buyer checklist
Listing & data truth
- Asking price is real, complete, and fee-simple — Parse errors, +VAT footnotes, per-key pricing, and fractional shares routinely break yield math.
- Map pin matches the actual parcel — Brokers often publish town-centroid pins; revenue and beach distance shift materially.
Title & registry
- Fee-simple title — no concession / fractional — Concession land and timeshares can't be underwritten like titled homes.
Water & utilities
- Legal water (AyA or ASADA letter) — No water letter = no permits; common deal-killer in Guanacaste.
Zoning & site
- Zoning allows intended use — Automated site DD links to sources — attorney must confirm use certificate.
Closing risk
- Taxes current, HOA solvent, no squatter risk — Arrears attach; HOAs can block rentals; precarista risk on rural parcels.
Land / build
- Land basis and build path confirmed — Build yield uses market anchors — lot access, slope, and utilities change feasibility.
Inland of the ZMT with a registered parcel
It's beyond the 200 m Maritime Terrestrial Zone and matches a registered finca — consistent with fee-simple (titled) ownership. Always confirm the folio real for liens and exact area.
