Common questions

What does Roofs and Rents cover?

The housing transaction in Latin America: renting, buying or building somewhere to live. Alquilar, Comprar and Construir y reformar follow the three routes, Vivir en casa covers living there, and Mercado carries the market reporting.

Is this a property listings site?

No. Nothing is listed or sold here, no agent or developer is recommended, and there are no referral arrangements. Mercado reports on prices and rents as published rather than valuing any property.

Can I rely on the legal and tax points?

Not on their own. Rules on tenancy, purchase and construction differ by country and city and change often, and each piece names the authority or publication it drew on. Confirm with that authority, or a local lawyer or notary, before you sign anything.

How is a piece sourced?

From named publications, housing agencies, statistical offices and industry bodies, credited and linked in the piece. Figures on prices or rents belong to whoever compiled them.

Who is behind the writing?

They are written with automated assistance from the source material and carry no individual byline, with the publication credited in place of an author. Nobody here is presented as an agent, a notary or a lawyer.

Does the site track me?

No. No analytics, no advertising, nothing loaded from another host, and no consent banner because there is nothing to consent to.
