Making Buying Real Estate in Buenos Aires Easier

Time and Money

Your most valuable assets when you set out to purchase real estate in Buenos Aires are time and money. My aim is to assist you in both these areas by working through the process with you in a consistent and established manner. Each step will be outlined in the introductory session and you can be assured that all legal and procedural matters will be adequately covered.

My personal experience in purchasing property has convinced me that the process can be simplified. After researching the whole experience, I have successfully assisted other expatriates to achieve their own goals in this area in a limited time.

My Personal Assurance

You have my personal assurance that I will work in your best interests at all times and make clear every step of the process. I will give your personal introductions to several Real Estate Agents with properties appropriate to your needs and assist you to view the selected properties. Please note that I work independently from all Real Estate agents and do not receive any kickbacks from them.

The necessary banking procedures will also be outlined for you enabling you to make the best possible decision in arranging the transfer of funds. Further assistance will be offered in selecting an appropriate Escribano (notary lawyer) and, where appropriate, an accountant or other professional. These people will reassure you on the legality and cost effectiveness of your purchase and you will know that your money and property are being cared for at all times.

Further assistance can be offered should you require permanent residency and sometimes the first steps can be taken on your first visit to enable them to be completed in your country as quickly as possible.

Spectacular Detached House in Belgrano R

Belgrano R House

Large Detached House in Beautiful Area of Buenos Aires

I found an excellent Buenos Aires property deal in the form of a large detached house in the upmarket area of Belgrano R.

“Belgrano R” is chiefly residential and low-density in nature, characterized by calm streets lined with large, mature shade trees. Most buildings here are detached single-family homes that follow Anglo-Saxon architectural styles; often residences have sizable backyards with swimming pools. This part of Buenos Aires is favored by wealthy Argentines and expatriate businesspeople.

Three Bedrooms and a Huge Amount of Space

This house is on a lot space with 434 metres squared in total. The covered floorspace itself makes up almost 300 squared metres of this total area, over two floors.

The property has three generously sized bedrooms, of which one is en suite, and two have balconies. There is also a good sized living room, dining room, entrance area, conservatory, garage, two complete bathrooms, and a large patio. In very good condition, in keeping with this upscale residential area of Buenos Aires.

Asking price of US$390,000.

Here are some more photos of the interior of the property:
