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.
- Beds, baths, and build size match reality — Comp matching keys off bedrooms; a 3BR scored as 5BR invalidates the entire revenue band.
Revenue & STR legality
- STR revenue band (our underwriting) — The median on this report is our comp-weighted, product-type-adjusted estimate — the authority for yield and rank on Pura Vida Portfolio.
- Short-term rentals allowed (HOA + municipal) — Gated communities and some municipalities restrict nightly rentals — not visible in photos.
Property & condition
- Amenities match listing, vision, and comp adjustments — Recipe appraisal and gallery vision infer pool, AC, view — photos can be stale or neighboring views.
- Condition matches gallery / vision read — Vision reads finish tier and flags issues from photos only — not a substitute for inspection.
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.
Permits & construction
- Built area matches approved construction permits — Owners often add bedrooms, pools, casitas, or second structures without municipal permits — fines, demolition orders, or deal failure at closing.
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.
Inland of the ZMT, but no parcel found in the cadastre
It sits beyond the 200 m Maritime Terrestrial Zone, but we couldn't match a registered finca at these coordinates — verify the title and exact boundaries at the Registro.
