- Things to do while buying Property in Mexico
-
If you are going to buy Mexican Real Estate, you should take a copy of the actual "escritura" or
deed, to the local notary public to check the deed's validity before you commit to anything or make a down payment on a property. This should be given to you by the seller with no hesitation if all of the proceedings are legitimate. If you are buying Real Estate in Mexico from a real estate developer, you should still have the notary public check to make sure that the developer has all of his or her permits, not only for the development, but also for the construction before buying any type property. Remember that no matter how formal or attractive the document may look, that if it promises to give you a deed at some time in the future, it is not a deed, but is instead a sales contract.
When evaluating Mexican real estate, whether it is
Puerto Vallarta Real Estate,
Cancun Real Estate or
Playa del Carmen Real Estate, it is also essential that you have the notary public verify that the land is not "ejido" land, which is a term that means communal, agricultural land. Even though this type of land can be purchased, remember that it is always a very risky deal because it is not actually your property, but is communal, meaning that you are merely allowed to use it.
In short, you should always insist on making any Mexican Properties transfer agreements or transactions in front of a notary public, and do not allow yourself to be pressured by anyone who wants money up front first. You and any other party involved will need to supply proof of full name, marriage certificates, proof of place and date of birth, official photo identification, and your visa before any transactions can take place between you and the seller. This is for your own protection, so be sure to have these documents ready!

- Banyan Tree is Now in Playa del Carmen Mexico
-
.DoNotDisplay {
DISPLAY: none
}
The Singapore hotel group, Banyan Tree Hotels & Resorts is now opening their facilities in North America. Where? Playa del Carmen Riviera Maya Mexico!
Banyan Tree Mayakoba hotels and spas are world known for their extraordinary locations and pampering services. The majority of their sites are found in the orient in areas such as Phuket, Bangkok, and Seychelles. Here for the Playa del Carmen real estate for sale market, this translates into 120 units being constructed, of which only 50 of these units are being sold to investors.
We were invited to visit the grounds of this new project here on the Playa del Carmen beaches within the Mayakoba Golf course resorts.
Wow.
Breathtaking as always.
Mayakoba is located on Mexico property, near to Cancun but just north of Playa del Carmen, on the Caribbean ocean with white powdery sands, and designed to blend into the natural habitat of the mangroves and cenotes famous in the Yucatan Peninsula. The golf course weaves between the canals, the mangroves, and takes you next to the breathtaking views of the turquoise blue waters of the Caribbean. This golf course hosts the first PGA tournament ever held in Mexico and you can attend such events in the spring of each year.

On our tour, we took an electric boat to motor us to the new Banyan Tree residential suites, to the beach club, and to the reception areas for this World Award winning hotel establishment.
The project is near 80% - 85% complete. 
And it is only just been released for sale to the Mexico Real Estate market. This is very interesting given that the delivery of a finished Condo and Residential unit is to occur in a quite short time period estimated for the first or second quarter of 2009.
Known for being eco friendly, the buildings with their designs and layouts were upon us quite quickly before we noticed their presence. They explained to us that Banyan Tree concept is having the guests and owners feel as if they are in the nature, in the surrounding habitat, and not within human built structures.
The residential units, open onto natural views. Views can be of the mangroves and water canals, of the ocean Caribbean beaches, of the lagoon, and or even of the golf course. If you turn the corner, you come upon the living socializing area, and off to the other side you can stroll to the bedrooms. A large pool, not a plunge pool, but a private pool wraps around the front of the unit, with a Jacuzzi, and a shallow area for sunning within the waters. Those units on the canals and lagoon side have their own private wooden docks for the water taxis that exist in Mayakoba, which can take you to all the restaurants, to the reception areas, to the Mexican beach front properties, or to the golf club house within the Mayakoba complex.
At this time, 50 units have been placed on sale. 25 of these will be sold as condo hotel, and the other 25 sold as full ownership. If the owners decide to place their units within the rental pool of the Banyan Tree administration, this is an option that is left for the owner.

Playa del Carmen occupancy rates have been extremely strong over the past 4 years. This tourism flow is projected to continue growing for the next 10 years. As mentioned in other notes that I have written, Mexico is preparing for this increase in the tourist industry as it is projected to be their number one source for revenues as a country. This projection places the tourist industry above the petroleum exportation industries. And which area of Mexico is projected to receive the majority of visitors? Yes, the Riviera Maya. And if you are in the area, place notice in the new Cancun Airport Terminal, notice the new investments and expansions on the highway from the Cancun airport all the way down to Tulum, take notice in the new projected international airport to be constructed in the southern half of the Riviera Maya. Is it a coincidence therefore that the Banyan Tree selected their first site of all of the Americas to be here in the middle of Real Estate in Playa del Carmen? Hmmmm
Getting back to our tour… after visiting the condo units, the boat taxi picked us up and we scooted down the canals to visit the beach club. The soft electric motor allowed us to sneak up on various birds perched up on a rocky island of the waterway. What a sight, and what a nice sound of silence. We rode down a tight waterway with jungle trees and mangroves that suddenly opened out onto a lagoon. Now we could hear the beach shore. The boat silently slid into another dock hidden in the trees, we stepped out, followed the boardwalk, and we opened up onto a white washed chic restaurant located directly on the white Caribbean beaches.
Nice music, relaxing breezes, and turquoise blue waters. To the north on the beach, you can see within 80 yards the new beach club exclusively built for the Banyan Tree resorts and spas. Infinity pools, Jacuzzis, spas, swim up bars. It has it all, and yet designed for privacy, and low residency.
What do I think of this project? I give applauses for the architects and developers on the protection of nature. This is definitely a project of the future, where a person loses himself in the natural surroundings, yet has the luxuries and pampering services hidden and within paces reach.

Update - The Riviera Maya International Airport

|
The much-discussed Riviera Maya airport will be in the Tulúm area |
Those of you who have bought property in the Riviera Maya, take heart—the wait for a new airport may soon be over. Bidding for the new Riviera Maya Airport has not yet been announced, but the project is now considered so certain that it’s regularly listed as one of Mexico’s top infrastructure projects for 2008.
Having a shorter commute to your property is hardly the only benefit a new airport may bring. As we've seen in other areas in Mexico, a new airport can drive up real estate values, attract foreign investment, and lead to public and private infrastructure projects. (And, in fact, highway expansion and improvement in the state of Quintana Roo, where the airport will be located, are also high on the list of infrastructure projects for this year.)
Newspapers here in the Yucatán say that the preliminary studies for the airport, including market and technical studies, have been submitted to the Secretaría de Comunicaciones y Transportes (Ministry of Communications and Transports, or SCT).
The SCT has already announced that it will open bidding for construction in the first half of 2008. As we wrote in October, four firms have indicated that they’ll bid on the project.
