What should buyers assess before purchasing in Playa Las Ballenas?

The main considerations are the property’s position, condition, running costs and arrangements for any planned rental use. Use these points to organise your property comparisons:

• Map the routes from each property to the beach, restaurants and services you expect to use regularly.
• Obtain independent legal advice on title, boundaries, permitted use and any applicable rental restrictions.
• Include community or condominium fees, utilities, insurance and maintenance requirements in your ownership budget.

• Assess the property’s condition alongside the financial commitment, using conservative assumptions for your purchase budget.
