What are common risks in buying property without proper representation?
Buying property in Panama without professional representation exposes you to serious legal, financial, and logistical risks – especially as a foreigner unfamiliar with local laws, language, or real estate norms. At Expat-Tations, we’ve seen firsthand how costly these mistakes can be, which is why our full-service approach combines both licensed realtors and attorneys to protect you every step of the way.
Common risks include:
- Unclear or disputed property ownership (no clean title)
- Unpaid taxes or liens inherited by the new owner
- Fraudulent or unauthorized sellers posing as rightful owners
- Improperly translated or legally invalid contracts
- Missing Public Registry filings, which means you never legally own the property
- No alignment with immigration requirements, if residency is a goal
