Homes & Property
Buy before it's built.
With eyes wide open.
Lower entry prices, modern construction, and the pick of the best units.
Pre-completion carries real risks. We help you understand them, manage them, and proceed with confidence.
The upside is real.
The risks are different.
Asunción is building at pace. New towers, mixed-use projects, and planned communities are rising across the capital. Buying before completion secures the best pricing, the best units, and the most flexible payment terms.
But pre-completion is not titled property. There is no escritura yet. You are holding a contractual right, not a deed, and you are trusting a developer to deliver what they promised. That changes how due diligence works, and who it needs to protect you from.
Done well, pre-completion is one of the strongest entry points into the Asunción market. The risks are real but understandable, and with the right partner you can plan around them. This page exists so you can decide clearly if it is something you would like to pursue.
Four things every pre-completion buyer needs to understand
Until the building is finished and registered, there is no escritura pública. You hold a contractual right to a unit, not legal ownership. If the development falters, you are a creditor, not an owner.
Projects can stall, and developers can walk away. Capital locked in an unfinished build is slow and uncertain to recover through local courts. Choosing a developer who will still be standing at handover matters more than the unit itself.
Standard Paraguayan development contracts are drafted by the developer's lawyers to protect the developer. Penalty clauses, refund terms, and completion guarantees can be one-sided, if they exist at all.
Buyers typically deal with developer sales teams or with local agents whose incentive is to close the sale. Pre-completion, more than any other kind of purchase, needs someone in the room whose interests are aligned with yours.

Developer insolvency or abandonment

Contracts written to favour the developer
