And the Clauses You MUST IncludeOnce due diligence is done and documents are ready, it’s time for one of the most critical parts of the process:👉 The purchase contract.In Mexico, this is often referred to as a "Contrato de Compraventa" or Promissory Purchase Agreement.It’s the document that legally binds both buyer and seller, outlines terms, protects your deposit, and sets the rules for closing.🧩 Here’s what every solid Mexican real estate contract should include:1. 🔐 Legal Description of the PropertyThis includes the official lot number, size in square meters, boundaries, location map, and title registration info.Don’t rely on marketing brochures — only what’s registered matters legally.2. 💰 Purchase Price & Payment TermsClearly state the price in both pesos and USD, or whichever currency applies.Also outline how and when payments will be made (e.g., deposit, balance, escrow, transfer).Include what happens if exchange rates shift before closing.3. 📅 Closing Date & ConditionsDefine a clear timeline and location for the closing.Also outline who is responsible for which costs (notary fees, trust setup, taxes, etc.).Pro tip: Build in a 15–30 day extension clause, in case there are bank or municipal delays.4. ⚠️ Disclosures & EncumbrancesThe seller must declare any legal issues tied to the property (liens, tenants, pending taxes, disputes).If nothing is disclosed, the contract should include a “clean title” guarantee with legal consequences for omission.5. 🧾 Penalty Clauses & Default RemediesWhat happens if the seller backs out?
