The Problem with Real Estate in the Philippines
There's a massive gap between glossy brochures and ground reality. Here is what you get in most existing projects.
Local Subdivisions
- ✕Houses built right next to each other (< 1m apart)
- ✕Tiny 70-100 sqm plots
- ✕Constant noise (stray dogs, close neighbors)
- ✕Poor construction quality
- ✕Missing finishes despite showroom promises
- ✕Maximum 6-month to 1-year warranty
Condominiums
- ✕Exorbitant monthly HOA fees (up to 25,000 PHP/month)
- ✕Strict rules — you don't truly feel at home
- ✕Broken elevators, leaks appearing after 5 years
- ✕Units delivered bare despite fully furnished models
- ✕Prices nearing European/US levels
- ✕Quality does not match the price paid

Legal Protection: What The Law Says
We take no shortcuts. Here are the active laws and legal mechanisms we use, all validated by specialized real estate attorneys.
1987 Constitution — Article XII, Section 7
Foreigners cannot own land in the Philippines. This rule is enshrined in the Constitution and cannot be bypassed through private agreements.
Republic Act No. 12252 (September 2025)
New law amending the Investors' Lease Act (RA 7652). Qualified foreign investors can now sign private leases for up to 99 years for approved projects (tourism, infrastructure, industry).
Standard Lease (PD 471)
For non-investor foreigners: a maximum lease of 25 years, renewable for another 25 years (50 years total). These leases must be registered with the Registry of Deeds.
Ownership of Improvements
A foreigner can legally own the house or building constructed on the land, even without owning the land itself. Building ownership is legally distinct.
Hereditary Succession — Constitutional Exception
The Constitution provides an explicit exception: "Save in cases of hereditary succession". A foreign spouse can inherit land through intestate succession (without a will). This is the safest legal route.
Usufruct (Civil Code)
The Filipino landowner can grant a usufruct to a foreign spouse/partner: the right to use, occupy, and enjoy the fruits of the property for life, without holding the title. Must be notarized and registered.
⚠️ Important Warning
NEVER register land under the name of a local resident you do not know well. These informal "dummy" schemes offer absolutely zero legal protection and often result in losing your entire investment to confiscation. Only the mechanisms described above (registered lease, usufruct, deed of building) offer real protection. Every property acquisition must be overseen by a qualified Filipino attorney.
How Your Property is Protected
A step-by-step process, with each stage overseen by attorneys
Corporate Acquisition
Our Philippine corporation acquires the land. The title is clean, verified, and free of any liens or encumbrances.
Registered Long-Term Lease
A long-term lease is drawn up in your name by a specialized attorney, notarized, and registered at the Registry of Deeds — making it legally binding against third parties.
Building Ownership
You own the house 100%. A separate deed of ownership and tax declaration are established solely for the building.
Complementary Usufruct
An additional notarized usufruct contract can be added for an extra layer of protection — granting lifetime usage rights to the land.
Family Protection Clauses
The contract includes clear succession clauses, inheritance transfers, and protections in case of death or separation — everything is covered.
Continuous Legal Oversight
A specialized Filipino attorney oversees the entire process and remains available for any questions or legal updates.
