Hermosillo, México (7 febrero 2014).- Al ser desechada ayer en el Senado de la República la iniciativa de ley para permitir a extranjeros adquirir terrenos de playa se eliminó en el Estado una gran posibilidad de negocios, afirmó el titular del Instituto Catastral de Sonora.

Marco Antonio Moreno Ward, vocal ejecutivo del Icreson, comentó que la nueva ley formaba parte de la mesa de asuntos inmobiliarios durante la Comisión Sonora-Arizona, pero debió quedar fuera al ser eliminada la iniciativa apenas la tarde del jueves.

"Teníamos el plan de hablar de la nueva ley, entonces el día de ayer hicimos cambio con la gente, eliminamos el tema, seguimos igual", dijo Moreno Ward.

Los estadounidenses que han adquirido terrenos de playa o en zonas costeras deben de hacerlo a través de un fideicomiso donde debe participar un socio mexicano, lo cual complica los procesos de adquisición.

"Sigue todo igual, siguen los fideicomisos, sigue la figura y como se ha venido manejando", expresó Moreno Ward.

En Sonora, los comerciantes inmobiliarios de destinos turísticos de playa como Puerto Peñasco y San Carlos veían esta ley como una gran posibilidad de detonar negocios.

"La gente que está relacionada con el negocio inmobiliario es algo que no están muy de acuerdo, querían que estos fideicomisos se eliminaran, porque es un proceso jurídico un tanto complicado, difícil para muchos, se quejan mucho de las tardanzas", dijo el funcionario.

Para Moreno, el rechazo que se dio en el Senado a las reformas al Artículo 27 de la Constitución frenan una gran perspectiva de negocios en México y en especial en Sonora.

"Al final del día la intención es que pudiera haber mayor inversión, desde mi punto de vista es un retroceso".

Hermosillo, México, February 7, 2014 - After being rejected yesterday in the Mexican Senate, the initiative to allow foreigners to purchase beach property has ended a great business possibility in the state, said the head of the Sonora Real Property Institute.

Marco Antonio Moreno Ward, executive spokesperson for the Institute, said that the new law was a part of real estate matters addressed by the Arizona-Sonora Commission, but was left out upon being eliminated last Thursday afternoon.

"We had a plan to talk of the proposed new law, then yesterday there was a change with the people involved, the matter was eliminated, we are left as we were before," said Moreno Ward.

Americans who had purchased beach properties or in coastal zones must do so with a fideicomiso where a Mexican partner is involved, this complicates the purchase process.

"Everything continues like it was before, the fideicomisios will remain, it will be done just as before," said Moreno Ward.

In Sonora, real estate businessmen in beach tourist destinations, such as Puerto Peñaso and San Carlos saw this law as a great possibility to increase business.

"For the people who are in the real estate business, this is something they do not agree with, they want these fideicomisos eliminated, as it is a very complicated legal process, difficult for many, and they complain of the delays," said the official.

For Moreno, the rejection by the Senate of the reforms to Article 27 of the Constitution are stopping a great business opportunity in Mexico and especially Sonora.

"At the end of the day, the intention was we could have more investments, from my point of view it is a setback."

If the information is truth...then the goverment made a mistake by not passing that law.

too bad!!
