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!

2019, Sascha Krasniqi, Germany.I am a new expat in Riga and I was looking for for a long term rent of a house for me and my family. I get in touch with Olga, because she was responsible for some houses, that were attractive for me. I appreciated Olga's active attitude. She knew a lot about the house in her portfolio and also about the owners. My feeling was, she was sometimes almost part of the owner's family. By this attitude, I felt very comfortable visiting the houses with her. All info and the service provided was on a very high level and by far the best if I can compare to other external real estate agents. She was also very cooperative with our internal real estate agent, who was helping me to find a good location. Paldies Olga, great job done! I can truly recommend to get in touch with Olga if you are looking for a house or apartment in Riga city or Riga suburb.

2018, Nihal Okur.Хотели бы выразить слова благодарности Ольге Загаиновой за профессионализм, проявленный на протяжении всего периода нашего сотрудничества, в частности поиска места для временного проживания нашей семьи в Латвии. Ольга была очень внимательна к нашим пожеланиями и оперативно реагировала на все обстоятельства, возникающие на протяжении всего срока нашего сотрудничества. Мы обращались в 3 дополнительные компании, по вопросу поиска подходящего предложения для нас, но только Ольга проявила истинный профессионализм и свои лучшие стороны по исполнению своих обязательств и знаний. С самыми наилучшими, наша семья: Лука, Татьяна, Олег

Дарья идеальный помощник, подкованный технически, юридически и экономически, с ней выбор становится легким и понятным. Радостно советую ее всем своим знакомым и друзьям как идеального специалиста по рынку недвижимости в Латвии. Дарья всегда пунктуальна, приветлива, прекрасно выглядит и даёт исчерпывающую информацию об объектах, что дает ощущение надежности и профессионализма.
2018, Разумова Мария, Россия.Olga Zagainova was offering us very nice apartments which really suited our needs and once we decided for one apartment she was still helping a lot by pointing out a lot of defects in the apartment which had to be included in the rental agreement which we wouldn't have seen. Futhermore, she was always very nice and friendly.
2018, Edvard Haas, Germany.Paulina helped me get a house before I came to Latvia. Thanks to her I was able to rent a house which satisfies every expectations I had. Process went so smoothly thus I was able to spent my first day in Riga in a house which is close to where I work and central districts.
2018, Serhad Burakan, Turkey.Excellent options to choose from, everything has worked flawlessly with Olga Z. Always on time, just as agreed. Thank you very much.
2018, Petteri N., Finland.Нашел Агенство случайно(реклама в сети) и был приятно удивлен сервисом и профессионализмом. Из тщательно подготовленных вариантов , которые были подобраны еще в нашем заочном общении, понадобилось всего полдня, чтобы принять решение и купить именно то, что нужно. По прошествии какого-то времени ушло еще очень небольшое время для оформления всех остальных формальностей. Также отдельное спасибо Наталье за помощь в сопутствующих хлопотах, которые вроде и не входят в ее работу как риэлтора: посетить энергоснабжающую организацию, разобраться с услугами управляющей компании, посоветовать опытного дизайнера для дальнейшей отделки и т.д. Общая оценка отлично!
2018, Михаил, Россия.Хочу выразить свое восхищение всем процессом подбора объекта и оформлением сделки. Мелина Малышко превзошла ожидания как в части знания рынка недвижимости Латвии, так и в понимании конкретной задачи клиента и очень детального и внимательного проведения сделки на всех этапах. Очень редкая ситуация, когда могу сказать: отличная работа без всяких «но».
2018, Дмитрий, Россия.Paldies Alīnai Mercai par īres klienta piesaisti. Lai gan lielus dzīvokļus izīrēt nav tik vienkārši, Alīna atrada mums īrniekus ļoti ātri un operatīvi. Trešdienā - potenciālais klients apskatīja dzīvokli, piektdienā jau parakstījām līgumu. Tas viss notika pateicoties Alīnas darba spējām, strādātpriekam un optimismam. Viņa nežēloja pūles un strādāja pat vēlās vakara stundās, lai taptu īres līgums. I am very grateful to Alina Merca for finding us a tenant in a very short time. I am also truly impressed with the speed of completion of the paperwork. A potential tenant came to view our property on Wednesday and we have signed a Letting Agreement on Friday. This was possible as Alina worked hard and out of hours so that the deal could happen. There are not that many Estate Agents who would have such a great work ethic and would be prepared "to go an extra mile" as Alina did. Alina, thank you from the bottom of my heart!
