Once you have chosen your ideal property, your next step is administrative paperwork. The Mauritius real estate sector offers several options allowing foreigners to live in the country. Residential units in real estate programmes accessible to foreigners, are often marketed as off-plan properties (VEFA) – a contract protecting the buyer’s rights (according to the Mauritian Civil Code, which is identical to the French one) and, most importantly, allowing to finance the property construction in instalments as per the work progression. The deed of sale is signed before a Mauritian notary and the completion of the property can take from one to two years.
If you would rather opt for a quick purchase, a range of already built villas and apartments in residential programmes are also available to foreign buyers – a great choice to make the most of Mauritius’ tropical lifestyle immediately! These properties are regulated similarly to off-plan projects and offer the same advantages. For example, at Anahita Mauritius, sea or golf view apartments are awaiting their new owners… What about a site visit?
