In this article we look at multifamily properties, a type of property with its own peculiar characteristics that requires a more careful legal analysis. Here Garrigues Latam legal professionals tackle the legal challenges that need to be considered when assessing and conducting a multifamily property business, and describe how a few of these problems are dealt with under the legislation in force in Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, Peru and Chile.

We provide an overview of the current position of Chile, Colombia, Peru, Mexico and Brazil in respect of this international treaty, signed on March 4 2018 in Costa Rica, and due to enter into force on April 22 2021.

Jumbo deals involving non-performing loans (NPLs) are expected to resume in the last quarter of 2021. Until then, we will witness two very interesting developments: single name sales and the appearance of new players in the debt market.
