HOW TO BUY A VACATION HOME IN THE TURKS & CAICOS ISLANDS

Known throughout the globe as a world-class, luxury vacation destination, it’s no wonder that investing in real estate in the Turks & Caicos is a clever move. With consistent, sustainable, yearover year-growth in high-end vacationers to the island, purchasing a home in the Turks & Caicos not only ensures the lifestyle you deserve, but also provides an investment whose value & income generating potential will increase over time.

WHY BUY IN TURKS & CAICOS

Just a 75-minute flight from Miami, the Turks & Caicos is highly assessable & attracts sophisticated travelers & vacation homeowners with its luxury villas & prestigious resorts. Since the Turks & Caicos is a British Overseas Territory with an economy based on the United States Dollar, it has an attractive tax environment with no property tax, no income tax, & no capital gains tax. In addition to providing a stable environment, political system, & legal system, the British Crown guarantees Absolute Title through a land registration process making title insurance unnecessary.

WHAT IS THE BUYING PROCESS LIKE?

The Turks & Caicos government welcomes foreign investors & there are no restrictions on who can purchase real estate. Unlike many other Caribbean islands, when buying a vacation home in the Turks & Caicos, foreigners do not need any sort of license or permit to purchase property. Purchasing a vacation home in the Turks and Caicos Islands works like purchasing a home in many other places:

1.Find your ideal vacation home property with my help

2.Put in an offer with my assistance

3.Once the offer is accepted, an attorney will help you to review the sales agreement

4.Upon signing the agreement, a deposit is required (normally 10% of the agreed upon purchase price)

5.The balance is paid on closing as well as other fees & taxes

Regarding the “other fees & taxes,” the Turks & Caicos Islands requires a one-time Stamp Duty at the time of purchase. In Providenciales this fee is 10% & in South Caicos it is 6.5%.

CAN FOREIGNERS OBTAIN MORTGAGES IN THE TURKS & CAICOS ISLANDS?

The answer is yes! Many vacation homeowners in the Turks and Caicos Islands obtain mortgages as foreign nationals & there are several reputable institutions that provide them for qualified buyers looking to build or buy an island home in the Turks and Caicos.

With my support during this process, you will not have to worry about any of the points above! In addition to not wasting time visiting properties that do not align with your expectations, you will always have the appropriate advice, which will make the visiting process smoother, focused and efficient.

Now is the time to invest in the quiet, quaint and charming Caymen Islands

There are two Sister islands, as they are affectionately called, Cayman Brac and Little Cayman. Cayman Brac is home to approximately 2,000 people, and Little Cayman is home to about 200 people. These islands are much more rustic than Grand Cayman and slower to develop. If you want to have a piece of paradise that is quiet and remote, then these are your islands.

Cayman Brac: Brac is Gaelic for Bluff and is only 15 square miles. The Brac is 12 miles long and about 1.5 miles wide. The highest point is located on “The Bluff,” which is 140 feet above sea level. The Bluff is a limestone outcrop that rises steadily along the island’s length and offers visitors a chance to hike, rock climb, and bird watching along the rustic landscape. Cayman government is encouraging development on the Brac. As of January 1, 2021, there is no stamp duty for Brac if you build within four years. Also, there are no planning fees nor stamp duty on construction materials.

Little Cayman: is aptly named as it is the smallest of the two islands. Little Cayman is 10 square miles. Little as it’s affectionately called is only 10 miles long and just over one mile wide. The highest point is about 40 feet above sea level. Most of Little Cayman’s draw is in its impressive dive sights and unhurried pace of life. If you love bird watching, you need to visit Little Cayman, it is a bird lovers paradise. Many residents of Grand Cayman Island travel to Little Cayman for vacation.

I am often asked what the least expensive home in Cayman is? What is the average home price? What is the average condo price in Grand Cayman? How much is the Property Tax? $0.00, yes there is NO property tax; however, we do have a tax, and it is called Stamp duty of 7.5% of the value of the property, and just recently in Jan 2021, Zero % stamp tax on land in Cayman Brac and Little Cayman and 3% in developed property. Therefore, now is the time to buy a little piece of paradise and wait for your investment to grow. Other questions I am asked is when I move to Cayman, what should I bring? The short answer is everything you want to buy is here. We get groceries three times a week by plane or ship. We have a massive Home Depot here called ALT Home Depot for hardware supplies and other smaller hardware stores. You can buy any American appliances you want, and if there is something special you want from Europe or Canada or the USA, you can always order it and have it shipped from Miami.

How to Move to Mexico From the US

With 1.6 million Americans calling Mexico home, the country has the distinction of hosting the largest American expat community in the world. Moving from the US to Mexico has always been popular with retirees. They easily fall in love with the terrific climate, rich culture, and low cost of living. However, seniors aren’t the only ones relocating south of the border. The country is increasingly popular with students, digital nomads, and families. If you hope to join them, this information will help you get on your way

Understanding the Cost of Living in Mexico

In many regards, the cost of living in Mexico is much lower than it is in the United States. In some cases, it’s dramatically lower. The cost of fresh produce, restaurant meals, or a weekend at a beach house is a fraction of what you would pay in most parts of the United States. However, lower costs tempt many expats to change their lifestyles. Hiring gardeners, housekeepers, and pool cleaners is affordable. Going out to eat isn’t an occasional treat but something you can afford to do several times a week. As a result, many expats find their average monthly expenditure isn’t much different than it is in the United States. However, they’re getting a much higher quality of life as a result.

If you are tempted to move to Mexico from the USA to have a frugal, minimalist life, it’s absolutely possible.

Finding a Place to Live in Mexico

Mexico is a huge, diverse country and its housing market reflects that. You could have a tiny apartment and fulfill dreams of living a low-cost, low-stress life. Alternatively, you could have a charming beachside house, a massive villa with a pool, or even your own plot of land with a custom-built home.

Living in Spain

Living in Spain offers life in a modern country, which offers a well-developed infrastructure and a modern living environment. The pace of life is balanced and relaxed compared to other European countries and the climate is such that the outdoor resources can be enjoyed on a regular basis. Spain offers a good mix of historical and modern architecture and is rich in culture. Approximately 90% of the population is Spanish, with ethnic minority groups including Moroccans, Romanians, Ecuadorians, and Colombians.

Spain as an Expat Destination

Almost 6% of the total population living in Spain are expatriates, consisting of people from North Africa and South America as well as from the UK. Spain is an extremely popular retirement destination because of its warm climate, low house prices and high standard of living. Many other expatriates come to this country to open tourist facilities such as bars, cafes and nightclubs. Expatriate life in Spain is suited to those who seek a relaxed and laid-back life. The locals are friendly and trusting and the majority of the country is family-friendly. For those who are seeking a quiet life, the coastal towns may be inappropriate as they attract significant numbers of tourists on an annual basis.

Cost of Living for Expats in Spain

The cost of living in Spain will very much depend upon your lifestyle and where you live. If you seek luxury goods and fine dining, you will find Spain very expensive but if you are prepared to eat and live like the locals, you will find your money goes a lot further here than it does at home. Housing costs can be very reasonable but are high in the cities and popular tourist areas. Utility costs are high and can cost up to 20% more than in the United Kingdom and the USA, especially if bottled gas is required. Food in Spain, on the other hand, is relatively cheap and provided you don’t dine out in tourist hotspots, you will find the prices in restaurants reasonable.

Living in Italy

Living in Italy offers expats a culturally rich life in a country that has a fascinating history. Once home to Ancient Romans and groundbreaking artists, modern Italy boasts lush vineyards, world-class restaurants, a thriving economy, and, of course, Vatican City. It also possesses an air of romance, which, when complemented by a rich and lively culture, makes it a popular destination for expats worldwide. Each city in this European country tells a different story, from the Roman Empire in Rome through to the art renaissance of Florence and Venice’s cities. Italy is full of various churches, monuments, museums, and famous works of art and is a fascinating place to live and work. Italian people are famous for their close family ties, which form the basis of the social system. They are also well known for their love of food. Italian cuisine is famed in almost every city throughout the world. Popular Italian exports include cheese, wine, and cured meats. Coffee is an important part of Italian culture, and the coffee shops that are springing up in their droves across the world are a direct result of coffee houses in Italy.

Italy as an expat destination

Italy is developed and is one of the founding members of the European Union. Expats from all over Europe settle here and account for almost 6 percent of the population. It is effortless to live and work here if you are from a country within the EU. However, citizens from non-EU countries must apply for visas and work permits.

If you are moving to Italy to develop an existing business or set up a new one, it is important to remember that business is conducted socially. Many job offers are granted through personal relationships; it really is about who you know. The Italians are a welcoming nation, and therefore expats in Italy will not find it hard to strike up friendships. Expats in Italy experience a very high quality of life. Life here is relaxed and enjoyable, and the Italian people’s vivacious nature means that it is always interesting. There is a large expat community in Italy, especially in major cities such as Rome and Milan. Many westerners choose to retire to the rural areas where they can live out their years in a relaxed and beautiful Italian countryside.

Cost of living in Italy

Expatriates will find that their living costs will vary according to the area of Italy within which they live. The standard of living is generally much higher in the north of the country than those in the south. Expatriates who are considering relocating to Italy also need to be aware of the income tax and social security requirements, which are also quite high compared with other countries in the EU.

The step-by-step process for buying a house in the Algarve, Portugal

Buying a house in the Algarve is not a cost, but an investment, because you are investing in one of the best regions of Portugal, visited by thousands of national and foreign tourists every year, due to the exceptional climate, the wonderful beaches and many other natural beauties. But the Algarve also has a vast historical and cultural heritage, delicious cuisine, good infrastructure, commerce and services, excellent levels of security... and all for a cost of living well below the European average! So, you have every reason to decide to buy a house in the Algarve. The Algarve is an excellent area to live and spend vacations and, therefore, a very sought after region for global investors who wish to invest under incentive programs, such as the Golden Visa. From apartments with sea view to villas with swimming pool by the mountains, you will find the house of your dreams without difficulty

​Step One | Set a Budget

You can find both affordable apartments and luxury villas, so the first step to buying a house in the Algarve is to really set a realistic and feasible budget.

Step Two | Choose the area you want to live in

The whole Algarve region is famous for its beaches, warm climate and quality of life, but you still need to understand whether you prefer to live in a more cosmopolitan city or in a more peaceful rural area.

Step Three | Define the type of house you want to buy

Is a studio apartment enough or does your family need a 4 bedroom in the Algarve? Hmm... perhaps a villa or even a plot of land to build the property of your dreams? The choice of housing type and typology is important to move on to the next step of buying a house in the Algarve.

Step Four | Search... or find a partner who will do the research for you!

Now, with the area and type of house you want in mind, it's time to start your research. However, if you want to receive expert support during this process and find your dream property in record time, just contact me to assist you through the whole process!

Step Six | Making an offer on your dream home

Have you found the perfect home for your family? With my support, you will always make the right offer and have a better chance of success!

Step Seven | Gather all documentation

The next step is to gather or ask your intermediary to gather all the documents of the property: legal description, utilization license, house blueprint, the housing technical sheet, energy certificate...

Step Eight | Signing the preliminary agreement

The preliminary agreement is a document in which the two parties involved (seller and buyer) confirm the intention to buy/sell the property until the moment of the deed. To prepare the preliminary agreement you must present your Citizen Card or passport, proof of NIF or Portuguese tax number and pay a deposit, agreed previously. Therefore, if you need a housing loan to buy a house in the Algarve, it is advisable to deal with the bank before the preliminary agreement, because the bank will require the presentation of other documents, such as location and fraction plan, usage permit, land registry, income declaration, etc.

Step Nine | Getting the house deeded

Today is the day! The day the sale is formalized with the completion of the deed and full payment of the property. But don't forget to pay the Municipal Tax on Transactions (IMT) and the Stamp Tax (IS) for the property! And a few days later, don't forget to collect the deed from the respective notary's office!

With my support during this process, you will not have to worry about any of the points above! In addition to not wasting time visiting properties that do not align with your expectations, you will always have the appropriate advice, which will make the visiting process smoother, focused and

The Alpes-Maritimes department: the jewel of the French Riviera

Welcome to the French Riviera! It is in this picture-perfect landscape that you could settle down into a new house, with your feet in the water and your eyes contemplating the beauty of the sea. Despite the limpid blue colours extend as far as the eye can see, you cannot stop looking at the beautiful coastline.

The coast runs along the department, creating varied panoramas of wild nature, where the rocks carved by the chisel of the surf throw themselves in the peaceful waves of the Mediterranean sea in beaches of pebbles and fine sand. The sea spray floats in the air and tickles the nostrils of visitors amazed by this stunning landscape.
