Real estate purchase procedure in Latvia:
1. The first stage involves the selection of a suitable item according to the requirements and budget of the client. We will select real estate from our public and private sources for free. We also arrange viewings and schedule a program of visiting selected real estate units;
2. Once the choice is made, it is necessary to open an account in a Latvian bank for the money transfer. The cost of this service is around €100, on average, depending on the bank terms. Borrowed funds can also be arranged, if required;
3. Execution of legal review. At this stage, our lawyers carefully examine the history and documents of the real estate;
4. A preliminary agreement is signed, prior to signing the sale and purchase agreement, which is a guarantee of completing the transaction. Under the stated conditions, a deposit of 10% of the agreed value is paid, whereupon the buyer takes the real estate unit off the market. If the buyer cancels the transaction, the deposit is not returned. If the transaction is cancelled by the seller, the deposit is returned at double rate;
5. The conclusion of the definite purchase agreement and full payment of the purchase price take place;
6. Public registration. Following the signing of the deed of purchase, the process of obtaining entitled documents begins. The notary transfers the documents to the Land Register for re-registration of the proprietary rights in the Land Register;
7. Apart from the basic value of the real estate unit, the buyer needs to cover the additional costs: opening of a bank account; notary fees (around €200); state fee (2% of real estate cost).
Real estate purchase in Spain is the same procedure as in Latvia, the only difference is the receipt of a Foreign Identification Number (NIE), which allows completes all the official procedures in Spain.
In order to receive a NIE the non-resident should have a passport, visa, two photos, and should complete an application with the indication of the purpose of receipt of Foreign Identification Number and should pay the state fee. A foreigner should also pay the state tax up to 10% of the value of the transaction, notary fees, a fee for opening a bank account, as well as registration of proprietary rights.
Foreign citizens are also free to purchase real estate in the United States. At the first stage, it is necessary to conclude an agreement with a local agent who holds a license in the state to carry out real estate operations. Once a real estate unit is selected, the buyer sends the seller a price offer. If the seller accepts the terms, as in Latvia and Spain, an agreement of intent is signed and a deposit is paid. From this time on up to signing of the definite agreement the buyer has time to conduct an independent assessment of the real estate. This is usually carried out by a hired expert, whose services will cost around between 250-500 US dollars. The final stage is to draw up and sign the deed of purchase, which takes place after all examinations and in the presence of a notary. Then, the registration of real estate ownership and compulsory insurance take place. Upon entry into force of proprietary rights, the owner may dispose of the real estate units to their sole discretion: to lease, to sell.
The process of real estate purchase has a similar scenario, however, each country has its own distinctive features of legislation.
Our experienced experts will advise you on the real estate purchase, and will accompany you at all stages of the transaction!

Cooperation with your agent Ksenia was extremely positive, friendly, and professional throughout the entire process. She introduced and recommended many options for our home in Riga, meanwhile providing a lot of additional useful information about living in Riga. I will definitely recommend your company and especially Ksenia for my friends and colleagues, who might need to find real estate in Riga. Best regards and a lot of success, Kalle Kõlli
2021, Kalle KõlliI bought a beautiful apartment in Club Central Residence-2 in Riga and I am very happy with it. I would like to especially note the support of the whole process from the Mercury group. Daria secured the purchase process with confidence and great customer service. Thank you, Daria!!!
2021, Sirak Chobanyan, Cheltenham, The Uk.Для приобретения ВНЖ для моих родителей в Латвии нам нужно было купить недвижимость. Ирина Алазова полностью взяла на себя поиск объекта, координацию с юристами и банком в Латвии. Обсуждение объекта был на 100% по Whatsapp, так как из-за КОВИДа мы не могли въехать в Латвию из России. Ирина делала подробные видеоролики каждой квартиры и присылала нам для обсуждения. В конечном итоге мы выбрали 4-х комнатную квартиру в Юрмале в Булдури. Прислав генеральную доверенность на Ирину, сделка была безупречно проведена без нашего личного присутствия в Латвии. Получив позитивное решение о ВНЖ от латвийской миграционки (подача документов была в Москве) мы наконец приехали в Латвию и получили ключи от квартиры. Я реально был восхищён тем, что вся логистика от поиска объекта до окончательного оформления сделки прошли без нашего физического присутствия в Латвии. Квартирой очень довольны. Очень благодарен за такой безупречный сервис.
2021, Алексей Шварц, Швейцария.Хотелось бы отметить очень доброжелательное отношение и точную работу по моему запросу Менеджера Барсуковой Юлии. Огромное ей спасибо за подробную информацию связанную не только непосредственно с объектами недвижимости. Желаю успеха Юлии и вашей компании в целом!
2021, Минкина Дина, Россия.Благодарен девушками из Mercury Group за искреннее желание помочь и профессионально и с душой выполненную работу! Обязательно посоветую своим коллегам.
2020, Максим, Белорусия.Купил квартиру в проекте в Юрмале на улице Ригас 51 в сентябре 2020 года и остался полностью удовлетворён качеством сервиса компании Mercury Group, что меня приятно удивило с учётом прибалтийской специфики) Отдельно хочу выразить благодарность менеджеру Ольге, которая не смотря на большое количество организационных моментов, связанных в большинстве случаев с застройщиками и владельцами квартир, мужественно гнула свою линию, отстаивая интересы клиента (меня)))) и вела себя крайне профессионально и мило, что, в итоге, привело к результату - сделка состоялась. Уже рекомендую друзьям вашу компанию своим друзьям.
2020, Борис. Москва, Россия.We have been living in Riga already some years and had 3 different flats. This time we were looking long term rental apartment from Jurmala. This was first time that all promises, schedules, paperwork etc were handled perfectly and on time, so BIG thanks for Elena and co. We can warmly recommend this company! Eija and Kari
2020, Kari Sjöholm, Finland.Мне очень понравилось работать с Mercury Group. Риелтор Елена всегда была на связи, объясняла все по пунктам и предлагала варианты, которые подходили к моим пожеланиям. Мне надо было снять квартиру, вписавшись в определённый бюджет и в сжатые сроки. Нашли даже быстрее, чем ожидала. К сожалению, снять надо было только одну квартиру! С радостью обращусь ещё раз.
2020, Romi, Israel.It was a pleasure to work with Darya Kovalenoka. The work was done promptly and professionally.
2020, Harijs Bass, Latvia.The agency was introduced to me by a friend. The agent, Miss Melina, was very attentive to my needs, helpful and fast. Within a week I found the apartment and signed the contract. Maximum professionalism and efficiency.
2020, Claudia Meriano, Italy.I was very satisfied with Olga‘s help. She was very patient, had always prepared a lot of background information for every object we saw and answered my questions within minutes and accurately, even on weekends and late evenings. I very much appreciated also her assistance when negotiating the lease agreement with the owner. She is also a very friendly person and 100% reliable. As future deputy ambassador of the German embassy, I will definitely recommend her to colleagues coming to Riga in the future.
2020, Bartels David, Germany.Долго собирались приобрести недвижимость в Латвии. Искали хорошее агентство. По рекомендациям воспользовались услугами агентства Mercury Group, чему очень рады. Профессиональный подход, отзывчивость, знание рынка и помощь в подборе объекта. Отдельное спасибо Юлии Барсуковой. Наверное это лучший агент по недвижимости в Латвии. Ее помощь неоценима. Юлия помогла с юристами, нотариусами и банком. Без неё сделку было бы очень трудно реализовать.
2020, Iuliia BochНаш иностранный клиент оставил очень хороший отзыв о Юлии Барсуковой после просмотров. Сказал, что это лучший агент, у него есть опыт покупки в разных странах, но такого хорошего агента он еще не встречал. У него был один день на просмотр (на момент заявки клиент находился в локации), настолько все оперативно организовали, помимо выбранного варианта, Юлия подобрала еще несколько альтернативных вариантов, предложила трансфер, после просмотров составила подробное резюме, где все систематизировано расписано, за один день показала варианты и организовала встречу с юристом, у партнера много ресурсов.
2020, Клиент Will Xu, Korea. Отзыв партнера.Great Service! I feel very fortunate to have found our agent, Olga Zagainova, with Mercury Group, while searching for a house in Jurmala. Living outside of Latvia while looking for a house is difficult. Olga was a tremendous asset for us. She was very responsive (this is hard to find) and worked hard to find the perfect house that fit our criteria. She expanded her search and even called houses that were privately listed on our behalf. She was also well aware of the laws and if there was something she did not know, she found the answer promptly. We did buy a beautiful house in Jurmala thanks to Olga. We plan to buy apartments in Riga for investment and will call on Olga´s help for this also.
2020, Jenifer Osterwalder, Spain.
