A Safe Investment
with transparency and legal certainty
We’re sharing eight essential permits that legally support your investment and that you can request from us. An advisor will also show you how to verify them directly on government portals, so you can have complete confidence.
Unfortunately, the term “legal certainty” has become an empty promise in many developments that lack the necessary legal backing, resulting in phantom projects and lost investments.
At Sastal, we take transparency and legal certainty to the next level, offering real legal guarantees to protect your assets and give you peace of mind every step of the way.
Cadastral Certificate Verification
At Sastal, you can check and verify the cadastral certificate of the lot you’re interested in purchasing directly on the Yucatán State government website.
This way, you’ll know exactly what you’re buying, where it is, and how to verify it, as well as the type of property, whether it’s usable, or if there’s any debt.
Any company or seller who sells properties has an obligation to share it.
Immediate ownership deed
At Sastal, if you pay cash, the deeds are signed immediately!
In the case of financing, we execute a purchase-sale contract with the deed of your property stipulated upon completion.
BE CAREFUL! Developments that don’t offer immediate deed registration are either selling land rights transfers or protected areas, or are selling illegally.
Environmental impact statement
Having an Environmental Impact Statement is essential in the Yucatan Peninsula. Without this document, there’s a high probability that your land will be located in protected areas, such as mangroves or cenotes, which would prevent its use and jeopardize your investment.
At Sastal, we provide this information so you can verify it with complete confidence.
INAH Authorization
This document allows the developer to verify that you will be able to build on the land you are acquiring.
In Mexico—and especially in the Yucatán Peninsula—there are numerous Mayan remains that have yet to be discovered. So, imagine investing in a piece of land and then being unable to build on it because archaeological ruins have been discovered.
Having this permit protects you from that risk and guarantees that the land is free of restrictions related to historical heritage.
Urbanization License
Is the land on the outskirts of the city? Are you told it will soon have access? Do they promise you light, water, electricity and pavement in the coming years? Then a development permit is essential.
This document ensures that the development is considered within urban planning and is not located in an irregular settlement or on communal land. Without this permit, you could invest in an area that will not be officially recognized for the next 30 years.
Land use license
This license is the minimum your land should have , especially if you are purchasing a residential lot.
The land use permit authorizes the use of the land in accordance with the regulations established for the area. In other words, it determines whether the property can be used for residential, commercial, tourist, etc.
If the development doesn’t have this license, it won’t be able to begin construction, or worse, it could be canceled; and you won’t be able to build anything on your property either. Without it, your investment is completely limited.
Building permit
Even if there is visible progress, it is essential to verify that the project has a building permit, as there may be irregular construction projects that the authorities could temporarily or permanently suspend for not following legal guidelines.
If you’re investing your money, you deserve the assurance that everything is being done correctly and legally, without putting your assets at risk.
Condominium Regime
Finally, if you are going to buy a residential lot where you are promised amenities, security, and guaranteed development, it is essential that the project has a condominium regime.
This document not only ensures the existence and maintenance of common areas and services, but also legally establishes the rules for living together, property use, and building regulations.
