Hello,

I am married to a Cuban woman and we would like to buy an old house in Cuba. I am interested to find out if we buy a house in a bad condition, can we demolish the house and build a new one on its place. My other questions are: Do we need to ask for a special permission to build a new house? Who can issue such permission? After we build the house, what institution do we turn to legalize the ownership of the new house? Thanks!

Are you sure you are married to a Cuban woman?

I’m guessing she’s not originally from Cuba?

1. You can’t buy a house in Cuba.

2. You can’t demolish a house in Cuba.

3. You can’t build a new house in Cuba.

4. Good luck getting any permission to build anything in Cuba.

5. If you don’t know who can issue such permission, you can’t get such permission.

6. You cannot own a house in Cuba.

Hope this answers your questions.

Sorry to be so harsh but based on your questions, you have no idea about the hardships and realty of “ownership” of property in Cuba.

Houses and condos are for sale(new) in Varadero. Old houses have been sold in the past ,Robert Redford bought one. But it may be difficult now.

Houses and condos are NOT for sale in Varadero and I have never heard of Robert Redford buying a house.
