Rent out my property in Cartagena
Handover record for a tenant in Cielo Mar Here is what changes in this sector and what to put in writing before handing the property over.
Handover is a concrete act performed the day the occupant takes the keys, and it deserves to be treated as a proceeding rather than a quick errand. You walk the apartment space by space with the incoming resident present, test what works in front of them, note every mark and scratch, read the meters, count and label keys and remotes, and sign a report in which both sides acknowledge the condition received, backed by dated photographs. In the same session you explain the practical things: the breaker panel, the main water valve, the trash and service areas, building hours, who to call at the administration office, and where a fault gets reported. Write down anything still pending from the owner and the date it is due. What tends to go wrong is handing over remotely, sending keys with a third party, and later finding damage with no way to date it. The list of goods inside the unit is built separately and is work of its own; handover is simply when that list gets checked and signed. Dimare Collection attends this step in the city.
What Cielo Mar is, and what changes there
What sets Cielo Mar apart is that much of the buying happens before the property legally exists. Units sell off plan, and the counterparty is not an owner but a fiduciaria, a trust company, managing a patrimonio autónomo, a segregated trust estate, into which the landowner contributed the site. That changes the whole process. The first document signed is not a deed but an enrollment in the project; the money goes into a trust account rather than to a seller; and the deed is granted once the punto de equilibrio, the pre-sales break-even threshold, is reached and the building goes up, so in the early stage there is no unit folio to certify because none has been opened. Ask for the trust agreement and ask what happens if that threshold is never reached, who returns the money and on what terms. Who decides changes too: the governing document is the permit issued by the curadurÃa urbana, the private licensing office, and the condominium bylaws are still unregistered, so you read a draft. Utilities may be run by private operators belonging to the development itself, meaning the supply relationship does not start with the city water company.

Office units
An office unit is bought differently because it does not live on passing footfall but on the building's ability to work as a business address. What makes it usable are services the unit does not control: the hours lifts and security actually run, the air conditioning and how it is metered, backup power, connectivity and visitor parking. None of that is fixed inside the unit and all of it runs through the administración, so the review looks at the building rather than at the door. The second difference is destinación, the recorded permitted use: in mixed-use towers, units whose registered use is residential are routinely sold as offices, and the mismatch between what the deed says, what the reglamento allows and what planning rules require is what later blocks registering the activity or receiving the public. The third is the rental market: an office tenant is a company choosing on address, floor area and building services, and is replaced by another of the same kind, so occupancy depends on the state of the whole tower far more than on the state of the unit.
