Buying my own place
Transaction via escritura with an honest breakdown of closing costs — and no promises about status
Foreigners are free to buy: there are no restrictions for a law-abiding non-resident no, it is a constitutional norm. A CDI tax number is required, and the right transfers only through escritura pública before a notary with registration in the registry. First, a key misconception: buying property in Argentina does NOT grant a residence permit or permanent residency. Anyone who promises otherwise is selling something that does not exist.
Who it suits. For those buying property for personal use or to rent out.
What is included
- We obtain the CDI — without it, the transaction is not possible
- We check the property and seller before the deposit
- We find an escribano and review the escritura draft
- We calculate the closing costs in advance: notary around 2%, transfer tax around 1.5%, agency 3–4% — a total of 5–7% on top of the price
- We handle payments and signing
- We register the property and walk you through the owner’s tax obligations
What the package does not include
Paid separately and directly, with no markup from us.
- Status: buying property in Argentina grants neither a residence permit nor permanent residence
- Overhead costs 5–7 %: paid to the notary, the province, and the agency
- Mortgage: the Argentine credit market is effectively closed to non-residents
- Guaranteed rental income
In May 2025, decree 366/2025 transferred citizenship cases from the courts and handed them Migraciones, and at the same time tightened the residency clock: two years of legal residence in a row. A precaria, under which a person lives while their application is being reviewed eir case — that period is not counted. The tourist 90 days are not counted either. Departures break continuity. We have tracked this counter from day one and we gather evidence in advance: rental agreement, utility bills, bank records, entry stamps o entries and exits — because the decision rests with the authorities reviewing the paperwork, not word by word. Parts of the decree are being challenged in courts, and we work in a way that your stay was provable regardless of the outcome.
CDI, property and seller verification, escribano, calculation of closing costs, payments and signing, ownership accounting and taxes.
Prices are in US dollars and are all-inclusive — nothing is added on top. Migraciones and RENAPER government fees are paid separately and directly to the authority: they are modest, denominated in pesos and converted at the day’s exchange rate — we list them as a total and provide receipts. SVOY initial consultation — 100 $, credited in the cost of support. The short initial call is free.
