Residents of five housing complexes in San José de Mayo,Uruguay,are poised to receive property deeds after decades of waiting. The initiative, spearheaded by the National Housing Agency (ANV), aims to finalize the property titles for over 90 homes built in the 1980s and 1990s. https://www.gub.uy/anv/
The issue stems from a past housing program where the now-defunct Banco Hipotecario del Uruguay (uruguayan Mortgage Bank) provided funding for construction, and the local municipality contributed the land. While residents successfully paid off their mortgages, the formal transfer of property deeds was never completed, leaving them in a state of legal uncertainty regarding full ownership.
Alfonso Lereté, Director of the ANV, recently visited san José de Mayo to address the situation. During his visit, Lereté met with Mayor Ana Bentaberri and departmental authorities to establish a working group dedicated to accelerating the deed issuance process. https://www.sanjo.gub.uy/
The affected housing complexes are located in various areas within the department and include:
* MC4 (Libertad): 16 homes
* MC5 (Rodríguez): 19 homes
* MC6 (Ecilda Paullier): 16 homes
* MC7 (Villa Ituzaingó): 16 homes
* MC8 (San José de Mayo): 24 homes
“The neighbors paid the mortgage, settled the debt and, rightly, now require the deed,” Lereté stated, emphasizing the fairness of the residents’ claim.
This initiative represents a meaningful step towards securing property rights for these families and providing them with the legal certainty that comes with full ownership.The ANV’s involvement signals a commitment to resolving long-standing housing issues and ensuring equitable access to property ownership in Uruguay. The working group will focus on navigating the legal and administrative processes required to finalize the transfer of deeds, bringing closure to a decades-long wait for these homeowners.
