Condos and Houses for Sale in Parañaque

Ask the seller for the certified true copy of the title from the Registry of Deeds, the latest real property tax receipts and, for condos, the master deed and association financials. Visit at different times of day to judge traffic, flooding and noise from the airport. Use a bank or escrow arrangement for deposits instead of paying the agent directly, and keep every payment documented. Currency conversion costs between euros and pesos can also add up, so compare transfer providers.

The city includes the airport district, Baclaran, the BF Homes subdivision, Sucat and the Bay City reclamation area. NAIA airport, the Coastal Road and the Skyway give good access, but traffic is heavy at peak times. Entertainment City draws hotel and casino workers who rent nearby condos. Buyers include overseas Filipinos, local families and small investors. Check flood-prone streets near Manila Bay and the age of any older condo building.

Prices are generally lower than those in Makati or Taguig, which is a major draw.

Foreigners may own condominium units but not land, and condo projects must keep at least 60% Filipino ownership. For a house, a long-term lease of land is the usual alternative; take Philippine legal advice. Verify the title, tax declarations and developer licences.
