We Need a Good Mexican Real Estate Attorney/Notario in Rosarito
The last time I asked for this information I was referred to Sylvia Thompson who met with my sisters regarding an older lease arrangement. She was
very competant and answered a lot of questions. Unfortunately she has passed away...
Who would you recommend now? Did Sylvia have a partner?
The end of a 30 yr lease is approaching in a few years. It's never too soon to get an idea of what lies ahead.

I U2U'd the name and number of the only person I trust for these things in Rosarito. He once introduced me to Sylvia for help wth a land concession.
Good luck.

Sylvia Marcor of Marcor Realty is 100% trustworthy in my experience. Her shop is opposite McDonalds.
I have heard good things about the notary in Rosarito (my wife recommends them). I used the notary in Playas de Tijuana. The 30-something English
speaking guy there (owner's son?) is someone I would use again.

Sylvia if I remember correctly was married to Peter Thompson. He was a client of mine when I was in the states. He also helped me with alot of
Mexican related RE problems.He would be able to answer your questions I'm sure. They worked together until the divorce I believe. Sylvia was very
young . What did she die from? k

Has the landowner expressed any desire to renew? I would expect any new lease would be on his/her terms. IMO, speaking with an attorney without
contract in hand would be premature and having your attorney negotiate might harden the landowner's position.

Good question...we are preparing our selves by getting educated. It is our general undrstanding is that if the owner chooses not to renew, he has to
buy the house at "fair market value" (Is there such a thing in Mexico?) They lease a bare lot and built a nice 2000 sq ft home on it.
It is our belief that they will need to move back to the states prior to the end of the lease. But how can you sell a house, on leased land with just
a few years left on a lease that has a big Question Mark at the end of it? Renegotiate it? Has anyone done anything like that?
Thank you to all who responded...we'll get through this...

If...it's a condition of the lease.

You bought and paid for your property and home. Paid taxes, insurance etc. Have a deed. Now someone says you don't own it? Don't be smug and say it
won't happen to you because you did everything right. It's happened to others and it can happen to you.

on leased land, you don't pay taxes! You are completely at the mercy of your landlord, so make sure you have a reputable one!

Sounds like they have been there for almost 30 years. How bad could the landlord be? Good luck, I hope it turns out you were worried about nothing.

I was having trouble with my landlord in the Mulege area which prompted me to get the property into a fideiocamiso in 1990 after leasing for 20 years.
I had Peter R.J. Thompson do it and it has worked well. In recent conversation with him he indicated he is moving to Central America, he didn't tell
me where. There are several attys in the TJ area that could do the job.

Consider yourself lucky that the landlord would sell the property. I haven't seen above that Jeans' landlord is amenable to that solution.
In other words, you can't buy that which isn't for sale.

DENNIS, You've ,"You can't buy that which isn't for sale.", nailed it. 
And if it is for sale, is the seller authorized to sell it? Regarding real estate purchase/ownership south of the border. It's a different country,
with different laws. You're at the mercy of family, political, and financial connections that were forged before most of us were born.

Well....that's it then. You just have to know and understand the law. [excuse me while I laugh myself to death]

It has been my experience that the person with the best forged documents and the highest friends in Mexico City wins every time. There is no shame
here.
