This is how you can buy a home in Colombia with Arquitectura y Concreto
Buying a house or apartment in Colombia is the dream of many Colombians living abroad, especially those who left their homeland in search of better opportunities and a brighter future. With Arquitectura y Concreto, making that dream come true is very simple, and you have professional support the whole time.
You can start by exploring all the projects we currently have at our company; however, we always recommend getting in touch with our International Sales team, even when you haven't yet chosen the project of your dreams.
Arquitectura y Concreto's International Sales team is made up of experts who can help you find the best project according to your tastes and budget, and will make the whole buying experience unmatched.
With us, the process of buying a home in Colombia from abroad is very simple and you don't need intermediaries; by clicking here you can contact our advisors via WhatsApp.
The documents you'll need to send are completely digital, and our team can guide you through the process of sending foreign currency. We also support you in obtaining bank loans and help you schedule the deed signing on dates that are completely convenient and feasible for you.
Remember: If you're a Colombian living abroad, you don't need a legal representative to buy a house or apartment in Colombia.
Keep in mind that to find your ideal home it's important to have a defined budget, a delivery time (the longer the term, the more time you'll have to pay the down payment) and a preferred city or region. If you don't know how to define these aspects, we explain them below:
How to define my budget to buy a home in Colombia
Option 1: Start by listing all your income in a spreadsheet (or with pen and paper, if you prefer), and all your expenses in a second column. Total both amounts, and the difference is the ideal amount for your monthly down payment installment (30% of the property's total value).
Option 2: Add up your savings to reach a larger down payment, and if you're very close to 30% of the property's value, start exploring projects with a slightly shorter delivery time.
Option 3: If you need financial support to buy your house or apartment, you can get a bank pre-approval for a mortgage or leasing. Based on that amount, calculate the down payment and the property's total value.
How to know how much time I need to buy real estate
This depends directly on one fundamental question:
Do you already have the down payment, or 30% of the property's total value?
If the answer is yes, then you're ready to start the buying process. You can contact us to support you at every stage, even if you need a bank loan to finish paying. In that case, opt for a ready-to-move-in or short-term delivery property.
If the answer is no, it means you need a project that gives you more time to save for the down payment. Remember that you can reserve the property and then start paying the monthly down payment installments. In some projects you can propose your own payment plan; this flexibility can give you more cash flow.
In either scenario, our team will advise you from start to finish.
How to choose the best city to buy a home in Colombia
If you have family or friends in Colombia, you'll most likely want to be close to them, so look for projects in the same city or at least a nearby one.
If, on the other hand, you're one of those people looking for a fresh start, base your choice on factors such as:
Your taste in typical Colombian dishes
Your preferred climate
The culture of the regions
Topographic conditions
Appreciation
The project

Caribbean:
Barranquilla

This is an aspect completely tied to your personality, so it's always best to listen a little to your family circle or the people you'll share the property with, and then resolve any questions with our advisors. Click here to talk directly on their WhatsAppline.
