Getting the money there
Chile places no restriction on buying property abroad: pesos convert and transfer as standard international payments, with Banco Central reporting applying to larger transfers, paperwork your bank handles with the payment.
The purchase mechanics are simple: a flat 4% DLD transfer fee, off-plan money held in DLD-supervised escrow, ready property transferring as registered title in a single trustee appointment, and registered gross yields of 5–8% in the mainstream segments, priced in a dollar-pegged currency.
What Chile expects from you
- Chilean tax residents pay the SII on worldwide income, so Dubai rental income is declarable in Chile even though the UAE charges nothing on it.
- Capital gains on a later sale may be within Chilean scope for residents, take advice before structuring the exit.
- The UAE side stays clean: no annual property tax and no personal income tax on rent.
Pointers, not advice, confirm your position with the SII or your own adviser before committing. We'll happily join that call.
Priced against the registry, not the brochure
Buying from Chile, your biggest risk is information distance. You can't walk the building, so you're relying on whoever is on the ground. Every recommendation we make carries the DLD/ADREC registered numbers behind it: what units in that building actually sold for, what tenants actually pay, never asking prices. That's the whole point of this brokerage.
Questions Chile buyers ask
Can Chileans own Dubai property outright?
Yes, full freehold in the designated zones, with the title deed registered at the Dubai Land Department in your name. No local partner and no Chile-side approval needed.
Do I need to fly out to buy?
No. A notarised and attested power of attorney lets a representative complete for you, viewings run by video, and buying end to end from Santiago is entirely workable.
Do you have Spanish-speaking brokers?
Yes, and the whole site runs in Spanish at equityedge.ae/es. Broker languages are on every profile, ask and we will put a Spanish speaker on your file.
