Specifics of purchasing real estate

There are no problems with getting the country passport by investing a certain amount of money. This is another motivation to spend your funds wisely. Under the special CBI program, to start the process of obtaining citizenship, you will need to invest no less than $200,000. You can find out all the specifics and peculiarities from the experienced specialists of our company, who can also help with preparing the documents and financial investment.

It is easy to choose a property without visiting the islands in person. Now, you can find a significant selection of different objects at an affordable price on specialized websites. As soon as you find your dream house or other type of real estate, you should sign a purchase agreement that requires a mandatory legal attestation. Sellers initially require 10-15% prepayment only, until you obtain citizenship or at least a permit for foreigners to own land plots and property.
Only those foreign citizens who plan to purchase real estate in Saint Kitts and Nevis need to obtain the license. It costs 10% of the purchased object price. It takes about 2-3 months for the application to be considered and processed. However, to attract an increasing amount of investment, these requirements can sometimes be omitted. Usually most real estate agencies don’t charge a large fee, and the government may free you from the license fee, especially if you plan large-scale investment in real estate.
As far as taxes are concerned, they are insignificant. Apart from paying the license fee, a 2.5-5% remuneration of the lawyer and the agent accounts for the largest part of the investor’s expenses. If you need to inspect an object, its sales history, and other facts, you will have to spend about $1,000. The procedure takes from a few days to a couple of weeks.
A real estate tax should be mentioned separately. According to the law, it is charged of the market value. The rate also depends on the object location, area, size, and type.
Homeowners are charged the maximum tax of 0.2%. As for commercial objects, you will have to pay 0.3% for them. This is the largest fee amount. The government severely combats debtors. If one fails to pay at least one of the taxes, he is charged 12% of the debt amount.
Thus, Saint Kitts and Nevis islands have created almost perfect conditions for those wishing to obtain their citizenship. Everyone can make a single investment in real estate and keep investing to gain financial independence and live in the economically stable country.
