AMPI Cancún Inspects 86 Real Estate Projects for Compliance

Cancún, Mexico — The Mexican Association of Real Estate Professionals (AMPI) Cancún has established a specialized committee to oversee real estate developments, ensuring legal certainty and security for investors and clients in the region. The initiative aims to prevent AMPI members from selling irregular properties.

Karen Elizabeth Ramos Díaz, president of AMPI, reported that 86 projects in Cancún have already been inspected. Of these, 16 have been confirmed as compliant and in order, while the rest remain under phased review.

Ensuring Transparency in Real Estate

"The purpose of this committee is precisely to visit the various developments in Cancún to provide peace of mind and assurance that these projects can be safely marketed," Ramos Díaz stated. "Fortunately, we have already inspected over 86 developments, and we regularly share monthly updates with our members so they can confidently promote these properties."

Inspections are conducted weekly, typically requiring two to three visits per development, depending on construction progress. The committee coordinates with the Secretariat of Sustainable Urban Territorial Development (Sedetus), which maintains a public registry of non-compliant projects.

Legal Guidance and Consumer Protection

"We have a legal committee, so we always provide the necessary information to assist with permits, licenses, or contracts that may need improvement," Ramos Díaz explained. "We offer guidance, and by the next visit, we expect progress to have been made."

A key recommendation has been the inclusion of contracts under Mexico’s Federal Consumer Protection Agency (Profeco), in compliance with NOM 247, ensuring greater consumer confidence regarding deliveries and warranties.

Current Real Estate Landscape in Cancún

Currently, Cancún has 114 active developments, primarily concentrated along Avenida Colosio, Costa Mujeres, and the Huayacán area. The market shows growth in mid-range and plus residential segments, with an anticipated 10% to 15% increase by the end of 2025.
