Riviera Maya, Q.R. — Officials say they uncovered more than 100 irregular real estate developments in Quintana Roo this year. The Secretariat of Sustainable Urban Territorial Development (Sedetus) reported on the illegal developers that they found selling property in different municipalities throughout the state.
“With the aim of protecting the assets of Quintana Roo families and preventing real estate fraud, the Secretariat of Sustainable Urban Territorial Development reported on a total of 116 irregular real estate developments in different municipalities of the state during the year as part of a permanent strategy of territorial planning and transparency,” the CGC reported in a statement Tuesday.
“These actions directly benefited the public by providing clear and timely information that allowed buyers to make informed decisions before purchasing a property or home, avoiding legal risks, financial losses and damage to family assets,” they added.
José Alberto Alonso Ovando, the Secretary of Sedetus, said a public policy focused on generating legal certainty and orderly urban development for the state’s families has been strengthened.
Throughout the year, bulletins were distributed in municipalities such as Tulum, Isla Mujeres, Benito Juárez (Cancun), Othón P. Blanco, Bacalar and Puerto Morelos, resulting from coordinated work between Sedetus and the municipalities with the aim of reducing the incidence of irregular developments and curbing speculative practices that affect the population.
Alonso Ovando said as part of the ongoing effort to curb illegal land sales, Sedetus (Desarrollo Territorial Urbano Sustentable) created an official microsite that has been made available to the public where developments lacking the necessary permits can be identified and a property can be checked for compliance with current regulations.
