Buying property from abroad doesn’t have to mean navigating the process alone.

With proper legal representation, many transactions in the Dominican Republic can be handled remotely, from document review to coordinated closings.

At Alter Legal, we help international clients move through the process with clarity, structure, and confidence.

In Dominican real estate, the Promesa de Venta (Promise of Sale) is one of the most critical documents in the entire transaction. It's legally binding and it's where most mistakes happen. What a properly drafted contract should include:

→ Clear identification of both parties and the property
→ Exact payment schedule and conditions for release of funds
→ Penalties for breach or delay — for both sides
→ Contingencies tied to due diligence results
→ CONFOTUR application timeline if applicable
→ Specific conditions for title transfer at closing

A contract that protects you isn't a formality. It's your first line of defense.

At Alter Legal, every contract we draft is designed to anticipate problems, not just document agreements.

Every year, thousands of foreign buyers invest in Dominican real estate. Many of them start the process without understanding how local law actually works. Common questions we hear from first-time buyers:

"Can I buy property as a foreigner?" Yes, with the same rights as Dominican citizens.

"Do I need a local company?" It depends on the investment structure and tax strategy.

"What taxes will I pay?" Transfer tax, annual property tax, and applicable taxes on gains from the sale, unless CONFOTUR exemptions apply.

"How long does closing take?" Typically 60-90 days with proper legal guidance.
These aren't complicated questions. But the wrong answers can be expensive.
At Alter Legal, we specialize in guiding foreign investors through every step, from due diligence to closing with full transparency and no surprises.

In the Dominican Republic, a property can look perfect on the surface, renovated, great location, clear photos and still carry hidden risks that only a proper legal review can uncover.

At Alter Legal, our due diligence process is designed to protect your investment before money changes hands. Not after.

The Dominican Republic has become one of the most attractive real estate markets in the Caribbean and it's not just about the beaches.

CONFOTUR alone can save buyers up to 100% on property transfer taxes and provide full exemption from annual property tax for up to 15 years.
But accessing these benefits requires proper legal structuring from the start. A missed filing or incorrect classification can cost you the entire incentive.

That's where we come in. At Alter Legal, we don't just close deals, we make sure every tax advantage and legal protection is in place before you sign.

Opportunity gets the attention.
Structure determines the outcome.

Legal review and risk assessment are often overlooked and that’s where most issues begin.

25/05/2026

What you see is not always what defines the investment.

A finished property may look ready, but real security depends on what is legally verified behind it: title, taxes, and compliance.

22/05/2026

Behind every secure investment, there’s a process that has been properly structured, verified, and guided.

At Alter Legal, we’re here to support you through each step.

Location is more than preference.

It determines incentives, applicable regulations, and the legal structure behind your investment.

In the DR, where you invest matters just as much as what you invest in.

15/05/2026

Tax incentives are not guaranteed.

CONFOTUR benefits only apply to approved projects and require proper verification.
What you assume can cost you, but what you verify protects you.
