Frequently Asked Questions

No, it's not required. The process can be completed remotely: contract signing via DocuSign and closing with an apostilled power of attorney. Kantik guides you through every step with a partner notary, and can also coordinate an in-person visit or video call if you'd rather see the property before deciding.

Yes — Mexican law allows foreign nationals to purchase property anywhere in the country. The one specific rule is the constitutional "restricted zone" (a strip 50 km / 31 mi from the coast and 100 km / 62 mi from the border): inside it, the purchase is made through a bank trust (fideicomiso), the standard mechanism used along the entire Mexican coastline — carrying the same rights to use, rent, sell, and pass on the property as a direct purchase. Outside the strip, the purchase is direct, in your own name. The strip is measured in exact kilometers from the coast to the specific lot, not by the name of the area or community — your Kantik advisor and the notary confirm the exact status of the property you're interested in before you sign anything.

It depends on the property. For Terana: cash or a mortgage with any Mexican bank (BBVA, Santander, Banorte, HSBC, Banamex, among others), with a 10% down payment and the balance due at delivery. At Hacienda Kikteil, the developer offers direct payment plans with no bank intermediary, with down payments from 15% and terms of 18 to 60 months, plus the option of a bank mortgage. Casa Rocío and Casa Blu Cedar are handled as cash purchases or financing through partner banks. An advisor confirms the current terms for the specific property.

Between 30 and 45 days after signing for move-in-ready properties (Terana, Casa Rocío, Casa Blu Cedar) — there's no construction wait since they're already built. At Hacienda Kikteil, since the lots are still in development, your advisor confirms the timeline based on the stage.

Kantik advisors are certified by CONOCER under standard EC0110.02 (Real Estate Sales Advisory), published in Mexico's Federal Official Gazette (Diario Oficial de la Federación). The service is full-service and free to the buyer: unit selection, negotiation, connection with partner banks, closing support with a partner notary, and post-sale services (interior design, property management, Airbnb operators if you decide to rent).

Per the most recent confirmed inventory, 5 units remain out of the original 39: 4 one-bedroom units and 1 two-bedroom unit. The rest of the development is already sold — an advisor confirms exact availability at the time you reach out.

No. Terana only offers 1-bedroom (57.95 m² / 624 sq ft) and 2-bedroom (82.95 m² / 893 sq ft) units. If you're looking for 3 bedrooms or more, Casa Rocío, Casa Blu Cedar, or Yucalpetén Resort Marina are the other options in the Kantik portfolio.

The unit is delivered fully finished but unfurnished ("pelado" in local terms): premium finishes (travertine marble flooring, granite countertops, black aluminum window frames), but no furniture or appliances. The furniture shown in promotional images is not included — you decide whether to furnish it, move in, or rent it out after delivery.

$1,850 MXN per month, the development's condo maintenance fee.

Yes, fully furnished and equipped: complete furniture, air conditioning throughout, an equipped kitchen, washer and dryer, internet and TV, a private pool, and a garden. Move-in ready from day one, with no additional cost for furnishing.

Yes. It already has a real Airbnb track record and reviews, and since it's delivered furnished and equipped, it can start operating immediately. Kantik can connect you with Airbnb operators or property managers if you decide to rent it out.

Yes. Mexican law allows foreign nationals to purchase property anywhere in the country; the one specific rule is the constitutional restricted zone (50 km / 31 mi from the coast, 100 km / 62 mi from the border), where the bank trust (fideicomiso) applies — the standard, secure mechanism for foreign buyers in Mexico, carrying the same rights to use, rent, and sell. A certified Kantik advisor confirms whether Casa Rocío's case requires it and guides you through the entire process.

30 to 45 days after signing. Since it's an already-built home (2022) and move-in ready, there's no construction wait — it's delivered turnkey.

It's delivered fully furnished and equipped: complete furniture and appliances, 20 solar panels, air conditioning units, custom carpentry and closets, and a private pool with a filtration system.

They significantly reduce the electricity bill, a meaningful factor in a home with year-round warm weather and air conditioning. Your advisor confirms the exact savings based on your consumption profile.

30 to 45 days after signing. The home is already finished, so there's no construction wait.

15 minutes from Mérida and 15 minutes from the beaches of Progreso, via the Mérida–Progreso–Sierra Papacal highway — that dual proximity is one of its key differentiators versus other developments in the area.

No. Hacienda Kikteil sells residential lots — the owner builds their own home following the estate's architectural guidelines, which your advisor shares before you sign.

Yes, in Stage 4 (Arcos) and Stage 5 (Truck), both in presale with open availability. Stages 1, 2, and 3 are fully sold out.

Developer DESUR offers direct payment plans with no bank involved, with down payments from 15% and terms of 18 to 60 months depending on the lot. A bank mortgage option is also available for those who prefer it.
