Another thing I would like to ask is that the mortgage. What is the current mortgage rate now? Which bank offers the best interests rate?

Thank all for the help and suggestions! Is there a checklist for buying an apartment in Chile.

Have an argument for dropping the price. What would need doing - painting, redoing the kitchen etc. If buying a flat ask if there is a savings fund for future big shared expenses, how many owe their monthly "gastos comunes". These are very important in a small building as fewer are contributing. Wh...

Dear all,

Thanks for your help in my previous posts.
Now we are considering to buy an apartment. In the current Chilean market situation, what is a reasonable offer to make to the seller to buy the properties, say 5% off or 10% off?

Thanks,
Frank

Dear All, We are thinking of buying an apartment in Las Condes. Due to the limited budget, we have to make trade-offs between the location and the house locations. What do you think that the buyers value the most for an apartment in Chile. Because we may sell or rent out the apartment in 5-10 years....

We had 5 kids, the youngest 1.5 when we moved here and chose to live in Providencia. Recently my wife said that had it existed then, she would have chosen Chicureo and getting to work would have been my problem, but she would have all she needed there, schools, shops, etc and would have driven arou...

Another two relevant questions I would like to ask are: 1 Do any sale men speak English? 2. Do car dealer accept credit cards?
Thanks!

He wants me to ship another 2018 Camry Hybrid as his new vehicle to use there. Oh, and his...

Hi All, We are moving to Chile soon, and we plan to buy a new car in Chile. I have a few questions about the new car price in Chile. Is the price listed on the car dealer website the final price? Are there other fees and tax that I need to pay additionally? Is the car price negotiable? If yes, is th...

An astronomer...coming to Chile. With a job lined up. Its a career move. He’s not going to become an independent self employed astronomer. And probably money is not the primary focus. Thats why i thought that in this specific case it was diverging badly off topic. Yes, the move is more for my caree...

Something to consider is do you need to live in Santiago? Have you considered south of Santiago? If you live outside of Santiago, more in the country, you can get by quite easily on 2 million peso's a month. 500k-750k for a nice house to live in on acreage away from the soul crushing pollution of S...
