Find reputable real estate agents typically expats in tbe area and work with them, all transactions are done with attorneys and start with tbe purchase of a lot, these are registered and easily checked for validity. “A fool will soon be seperated from his money”

Yes and even that isn’t security. Many attorneys won’t “fight” other attorneys, the courts are overloaded”, you will be required to have translations, and the prosecutor will be reassigned many times. The best thing to do?  Don’t buy in a community that isn’t finished…it will never be and there is a reason why - no water, no permits, no real architect or engineer, no titles on the land, etc etc.

The moment you make an accusation is the moment you can't name the company on this forum.
The forum gets sued for such posts so the choice is remove the post or hire an expensive legal team. Which would you do?

OP - take them to court, win, then post the results of your action. You can post that because it's backed up by a court, not just an unproven allegation.
Not sure how much it will cost but I'm sure the victory will make a few thousand Dollars money well spent, and you get to name the company.

Many of us who live in CR or have now returned to their home countries, have read and responded to many complaints from members that have produced the necessary legal paperwork after doing exactly as been written and still have been unable to get their property finished to their satisfaction.

Most of us have had our own complaints ignored and have just given up, for the all the reasons stated.

We can't compete with shady developers, rotten lawyers  and corrupt judges who work in hand in hand, with them.

Live in the country and rent until you have learned enough from people in similar situations and believe me, there are many of them.

Yes, you will often find that there is an attorney behind the whole deal. Attorneys don’t sue attorneys so you just become a way to make money. So sad. Rent and enjoy the life.
