A BALIKBAYAN'S GUIDE TO BUYING LAND IN THE PHILIPPINES

Filipinos away from home who want to invest their money in real estate would do well in familiarizing themselves with the laws that govern land acquisition in the Philippines as stated in the Constitution. There is no better way to secure a brighter future than to have a place of your own here at home.

Here are some facts that you will need to know before you proceed with any transaction and buy your dream house in the Philippines :

  • Only Filipino citizens and corporations and associations at least 60% of whose capital is owned by Filipinos may acquire private lands.
  • Children born to a Filipino parent, whether legitimate or illegitimate, may inherit the property of the Filipino parent, even if the child is not a Filipino citizen.

 

 

ADVANTAGES OF OWNING A HOME AT CANYON RANCH COMPARED TO BUYING LOTS ONLY

Most project who sell lots only (with no housing units) remain deserted, lonely and unpopulated. Moreover, due to the fact that there are no houses, these areas feel like ghost towns. At Canyon Ranch, we focus on building homes in order to make residents feel part of a close-knit community. Building homes make residents feel more welcome and secure.

Aside from this , homes in Canyon Ranch ensure that your home's value will continue to rise for years to come, precisely because it is part of a community and because it will be managed by Century Properties Management Inc (CPMI). CPMI is the Philippines largest and most experienced property management firm, with over 2 decades and 50 projects of property management experience.
