can you buy/sell a villa without a deslende in puerto plata
First, it's
deslinde.
You may want to research on the Legal Forum and I think that you will come to the conclusion that you can not register the deed to a property that has not been
deslindada.
You can make a buy/sell contract but and pass money over the table but your protection is very limited as the seller may do the same with other buyers.
You can however sign a
promesa de venta and have a deposit held in escrow, to lock in the property until the owner can produce a clear registrable title, which is currently said to take about 3/4 a year.
This is not legal advice, you are urged to consult a reputable lawyer who is NOT connected whatsoever to the property, the seller and the owner(s) and their respective cousins and have him check the property, verify ownership(s) and oversee the deal so that you are protected and no monies are disbursed to the seller and owner(s) until the
deslinde has been executed and clear title in your name issued and registered.
