Problematic purchases in Morocco often follow a familiar pattern: an attractive property, a friendly intermediary and a price that seems unusually low, followed by a title that turns out to be unregistered Melkia, encumbered or subject to unresolved inheritance claims. Money transferred outside the foreign-exchange registration system can also become difficult to repatriate on resale.
Exactly these errors prevent the combination of German-speaking coordination and Experts inspected on site: notaries handling registered-title properties, lawyers checking title and encumbrances, banks providing convertible-currency accounts and managers handling subsequent letting. We coordinate these steps and decline properties that do not pass the checks.
