Begin the process by making an offer of purchase. Have your lawyer draft up the purchase agreement, and make sure you’re clear on all the details. When the seller accepts your offer, you will make a deposit on the property. Now it’s time to order a survey of the property, run a title check and, if desired, purchase title insurance and hire a home inspector. When you’re ready to proceed, your lawyer will help complete the sale and make sure all legal requirements are fulfilled. 

Your lawyer will help prepare the title transfer, also known as a conveyance deed (“escritura de traspaso”), which will effectively transfer the property to your name.
