Registering Property

This topic examines the steps, time, and cost involved in registering property, assuming a standardized case of an entrepreneur who wants to purchase land and a building that is already registered and free of title dispute.

The table below shows the main indicators, which include:

• number of procedures legally required to register property,
• time spent in completing the procedures, and
• the costs, such as fees, transfer taxes, stamp duties, and any other payment to the property registry, notaries, public agencies or lawyers. The cost is expressed as a percentage of the property value, assuming a property value of 50 times income per capita.
