Buying In
Turks & Caicos
The process of purchasing property in the Turks & Caicos Islands is simple: A Purchase and Sales Agreement (PSA) for the selected homesite is executed between the Developer and the purchaser. A separate construction agreement is executed at the same time covering all aspects of the design and construction of the residence. With execution of the PSA a 10% land deposit is required. The remaining 90% of the land value become due with land title transfer to the buyer.
The purchase of a homesite on Providenciales is subject to a one-time stamp duty tax payable by the purchaser, which is 10% of the land value (applicable for Lagoon or Ocean Estate Villas). The purchase of a Boathouse is subject to stamp duty payable on the overall purchase value.
While it is a simple process, we recommend that the purchasers retain local legal counsel to support them. We can provide recommendations upon request.
