| There
are no restrictions in Belize on foreign ownership but only a small
difference in the "Land
Title
Transfer fee" to
Residents of Belize. The
country
is politically and economically stable. |
The Hard way: Do it on your own
This are some stepps in my own experince, they make it to work out for
you:
- Spend
time
in Belize and ask
around for properties. There are a few real estate listings, but most
are for sale by owner and usually there are no signs posted. Be
prepared to hunt for real estate.
- Pay
cash or
get financing on
your assets back home. Mortgage financing is not readily available for
foreign buyers.
- Negotiate
your price. There
are two prices, one for locals and one for foreigners. Do your research
or have a Belizean friend find out the local price for you. You will
get a better price if you have more knowledge of the real estate market
there.
- Hire a
lawyer. The attorney fee is normally two percent of the purchase price.
- Research
and
learn the real
estate market. Know the fees and costs of purchase. Your Land Title
Transfer fee, called a stamp tax, is 12 percent. The property taxes
vary based on the assessed value of your property.
- Apply
for a
Title Transfer and
receive a Certificate of Title under the Registered Land Act System.
This is the most common purchase agreement. There is also the
Conveyance System involving a title search usually done by an attorney,
and the Torrens System involving a First Certificate of Title
Think about This
There ain't
no
such thing as a free lunch, even in Belize.
There
are
no
money back conditions if the seller or agent doesn't
provide full
disclosure.
Be
careful
in choosing a
realtor. A license is not required in Belize,
so the quality among
realtors varies.
