Understanding Property Rights in Colombia: A Real Estate Veteran’s Perspective By Javier Rendón, Founder, Expats Realty Colombia
🏡 Property Rights in Colombia: What Every Expat Investor Should Know As someone who has guided expats in Colombia’s real estate market for over 25 years, I can tell you this: understanding property rights is not just important—it’s essential. A recent study highlights Colombia’s global ranking: 80th out of 125 countries in terms of property protection. While our country has made progress, challenges remain: 🔹 Rural properties often face unresolved restitution claims, with ownership disputes dating back to the conflict years. 🔹 Urban areas still struggle with informal ownership, meaning some properties lack full legal registration. 🔹 Even in intellectual property, protection is evolving but enforcement gaps persist.
