Speak with a LenderResidency & Ownership—Handled
Buying a home can support your Bahamas residency plans. I coordinate the right attorney and, where needed, exchange control, and keep every document tracked through closing. Glenn will verify current investment thresholds, document lists, and processing timelines with the Bahamas Department of Immigration before you sign contracts.
Residency options depend on investment level, property type, and personal profile—I'll coordinate attorney guidance so you proceed with certainty.
- Permanent Residency guidance tied to qualifying real estate.
- Attorney, surveyor, inspector, and insurance introductions.
- Utilities setup, property management, and move-in checklist.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are freehold single family homes available to international buyers?
Yes. International buyers regularly purchase freehold homes in The Bahamas. I’ll outline permits and filings based on your plans for occupancy or rental.
What inspections do you recommend?
General home inspection, roof, pest, and—given our climate—structure, moisture intrusion, hurricane shutters/impact windows, and insurance readiness.
Can I rent my home when I’m away?
Many communities allow rentals; policies vary. I’ll confirm the HOA’s current rules and licensing requirements for you before commitments.
What closing costs should I expect?
Attorney fees, VAT on conveyance, stamp duties where applicable, due diligence, and lender fees if financed. I’ll provide a custom closing sheet per property.
Can non-residents get a Bahamas mortgage?
Yes—select local and international banks lend to non-residents with higher down payments and income/asset verification. I’ll introduce Bahamas-experienced lenders and outline approval timelines.
What are typical annual ownership costs?
Budget for insurance (hurricane/wind), utilities, maintenance, and any HOA dues. Property taxes vary by value and use; I’ll provide a line-item estimate for each home.
Are rentals allowed for single family homes?
Many neighborhoods allow short- or long-term rentals but policies differ by HOA and island. I’ll confirm current rules and licensing before you commit.
What build features should I prioritize in the islands?
Impact windows/doors, roof system and tie-downs, drainage, standby generator, water storage, and materials suited to salt-air corrosion. I’ll assess each property’s resilience and insurance readiness.
