Hi,

can a foreigner buy property in Cape Verde ?

If so, is it complicated? What is the process of purchasing a property in Cape Verde ?

Any tips for buying property, such as a check-list of items to verify ?

Thanks in advance for participating!

Christine

Pas de probl猫me particulier si ce n'est de v茅rifier que le bien convoit茅脿 bien 茅t茅 enregistr茅 au "registro pr茅dial" 脿 Praia.
Les formalit茅s sont les m锚mes qu'en Europe.
Bonne journ茅e.

Bom Dia,

I do speak some Portugese. Very little, from an organization I work with that does work in Brasil. I've been to Brasil 3 times so far. I will be retiring in 3 years, and am gathering information on Cape Verde as a possible living base. I'd like to invest in both Brasil and Cape Verde in terms of real estate. who can help me? Also, when is the best time of year economically, to travel to CV? i'm finding prices very expensive to get there. This wouldn't be feasible traveling back and forth from the USA.

Hi Kazzer,

For whom is your message intended??? There is no context to your message.

For anyone looking for information about about moving to, living or working in Cape Verde, there is an Irishman named James McGarry who has lived here for years and actually provides a 30-page eGuide with all the information new residents will need.

Let me know via private message and I will send you the contact details for James.

Hi.

I麓m in the process of buying an apartement from Cabo Verde.聽 Start was very straightforward, Real estate agent in Sal has apartement for sale. We make 盲n offer and sellers accepted it. We hire lawyer from Sal to do all the paperwork.聽 Paperwork from our side are ready and the sellers h盲s signed the draft deed of sale. We have paid total sum to lawyers customer account to wait for final deed of sale.

Now two months has passed for waiting the sellers (englishmen) to get agreement with their bank (Cabo Verdean bank) to get garantie of their loan off the propety. And now the bank wants from the sellers some evidence that they are really selling the apartement. What does this mean?

The process begin in July and should be ready in mid september. And now we can only wait....

It took 1 year and 4 month to get deed signed. Not because of cabo verdeans but the sellers cannot get their mortgage released. Now I am with my family in our own apartement spending summer holiday. I am about to retire and spending here more time, who knows鈥�
