Advisors and Consumer Protection
Looking for a property in South America is not the same as looking for one in Western Europe or United States. Here you might choose a property, study the relevant information on the net and buy it without personally inspecting it and everything would be as described. If it wasn’t, you would have considerable remedies by law. You would be a brave person to do that in this part of the world.
In South America there is little consumer protection and what protection there is, is difficult to enforce if you are a foreigner. The real estate industry and in many cases, the legal and accounting professions are very fragmented and informal. There is considerable speculation and foreigners can be an easy mark.
The best consumer protection here is to pick your advisors carefully and take their advice. Local knowledge is imperative to avoid disappointment
GTSA can advise potential buyers how to get specialist advice to study potential investments before buying. Where possible we get third party advice to avoid conflict of interest.
Having said all of that, those clients who have taken our advice and researched their investments before buying using our qualified consultants and advisors have without exception been delighted with their investments. They found their advisors and professionals to be of the very highest standards.
Gateway to South America has researched, qualified and used all the specialists it works with and can readily recommend our suppliers and associates to do the same.
