The purchase of property in Bermuda by Non Bermudian / International Buyers is subject to certain restrictions and it would be useful to have a knowledgeable real estate professional to help navigate the process. Information supplied by Cranfields Property Bermuda Generally speaking: International Buyers may only buy a house with an Annual Rental Value (ARV) over $177,000 or a condominium with an ARV over $32,400 which is in a Designated Development. Prospective International Buyers must apply for a Licence to Acquire Land and submit an application along with a consideration fee of $1 416.00 (refunded if the license to own property is granted). From 1st April 2013 the cost of a License to Acquire is reduced from 18 percent to 6 percent of the purchase price of a condominium and from 25 percent to 8 percent of the purchase price of a house. After 1st October 2014 the licence fees will rise to 8 percent of the purchase price of a condominium and 12.5 percent of the cost of a house Agreement in principle between an international buyer and seller includes a 02 Island Property News / May 2014 / www.islandpropertynews.com
deposit of 10 percent of the purchase price. The deposit is held in escrow, subject to contract, and deducted from the overall purchase price. Properties that form part of a Tourism Designated Development or a Resort property are subject to a 6.5 percent licence fee. International Buyers may not buy land without a dwelling on it, commercial real estate or property intended mainly to earn rental income. International owners may be granted permission to rent their property by the Immigration Department. Permission rarely extends to periods of more than a year and includes a tax of 7.25 percent. Prospective international buyers may want to review the Bermuda Immigration and Protection Act 2007 amended 2012 or contact me for assistance.

Home turnoffs that make home-buyers cringe By Robyn Bardgett
Photo by MCT Messy: Make sure to clean up your home before showing it to potential buyers.
While your home should be a reflection of who you are, it can be difficult for potential buyers to see themselves living in the space if it’s too overly personalized. The last thing they will want to see is a home filled with clutter or walls decorated in a very personal shade of bright orange.
Here are the most important areas in which you should begin working on if you are planning to sell or rent your home. How far you take the improvements to your home will depend on your budget, but there are a few things that are of great importance, including the cleanliness of the space, if you plan to give a good impression when showing your home. Clean up This is an easy and inexpensive fix to make your home more appealing. A sink full of dirty dishes is a turn off no matter how beautiful the property. Make sure that the kitchen and bathrooms in particular are spotless. This is also a great time to think about decluttering. This will help when it comes time to move and is good to get a handle on any junk before you start to show your home. What’s that smell? Strong smells from cooking, pet odors or cigarette smoke can be a real turnoff. Make sure to air out your home and avoid cooking anything with strong smells before a viewing. Covering up the smells with strong sprays or candles could also backfire for people who are overly sensitive to smells. Fix it Quick fixes to broken lights or cracks in the walls can be a big help in selling your property. Décor Depersonalize the house of unique colors, displays of collections and hobbies, and family pictures so buyers can envision themselves moving in.
HOMEMADE WILLS Cheri Minors, Associate, Cox Hallett Wilkinson Limited
Many people do not wish to engage a lawyer to draft their Will in order to save the expense, but preparing a homemade Will can lead to disaster and cost your estate great expense in the long run to construe the meaning of your Will and/or uphold the validity of your Will in court. This also applies to Wills downloaded from the internet, or purchased at a store. There are many requirements to draft a Will. If it is not properly drafted it can be set aside or considered void. Without professional training, provisions of a homemade Will could be drafted in a way that leads to uncertainty of intention. As they say, “penny wise pound foolish”. There are many key formalities that need to be considered when drafting a Will, which is why a lawyer should always be engaged. Firstly, a minor (anyone under the age of 18) cannot make a Will. Also an individual of unsound mind does not have capacity to make a Will. If any of the above individuals make a Will an application can be made to the courts to have the Will set aside. In Bermuda, a Will is required to be in writing. A Will cannot be made by audiotape or video. A Will is required to be signed by the testator in the presence of two or more witnesses. It is important to note that a Will cannot be witnessed by anyone receiving a gift or benefit under the Will. If a beneficiary witnesses a Will, it will not be void, but any gift to the beneficiary (or their spouse) will be void. Consideration should also be taken when making a Will in contemplation of marriage. Many people may decide to make a homemade Will and then subsequently marry. Unless the Will specifically states that it is being made in contemplation of marriage, upon marriage any former Will executed will be void automatically. It is common to have multiple Wills in multiple jurisdictions. You may want to have a Will in place for your Bermuda assets and a Will in place for your international assets. Most standard Wills contain a revocation clause revoking all previous Wills with an earlier date. By making a homemade Will you may accidentally revoke an international Will that you may want to remain valid. You may wish to only revoke
04 Island Property News / May 2014 / www.islandpropertynews.com
all previous Bermuda Wills and leave a Will executed in a foreign jurisdiction in place. When making gifts and legacies, you should consider providing a “gift over” provision in the event that the intended beneficiary fails to survive you. For example if you leave $50,000 to your best friend, and your best friend dies before you, do you want your best friend’s daughter to receive the gift in her place? Under current law if a gift over is not specifically provided for in a Will (except if it is a gift to your direct descendant) the gift will fail should the beneficiary predecease you. You should also carefully consider defining the object of a gift to be given under a Will. For example if you intend to give your current car to your sister you need to ensure that your Will specifically refers to the car in question i.e. naming the make, color and registration number. If you intend on giving any car owned by you at the time of your death to your sister, such provision will need to be drafted differently i.e. to give any car owned at the time of my death to my sister. Even though the difference seems insignificant the impact on the gift given is not. In the first case if you do not own the specifically mentioned car at the time of your death then the gift will fail and your sister will not receive anything. In the second case your sister will receive all of the cars that you own at the time of your death. As you can see there are many key considerations and formalities required to draft a Will. Therefore if you want to make a Will and ensure that your assets are passed in accordance with your wishes, it is best to engage a lawyer. Do not leave your loved ones with the financial burden of having to make an application to the courts to either construe the terms of your Will or argue its validity.
