Full Description
VALUE: This is an exceptional offer. The purchase process in St.Lucia normally incurs substantial additional costs for a certificate of eligibility, alien landholding license, deed of sale & solicitor services plus processing for 2 to 3 months till approval by the Prime Minister’s Office. Some prerequisites: non-refundable application fees, police certificate of good character, fingerprints, banker’s reference letter & copy of passport & citizenship. Typical application fees & duties would add around US$50,000 to a purchase. Moreover, in the future, to sell the property, a 10% vendor’s tax would apply. However, as a foreign buyer, by purchasing this property and company directly through us, there would be savings estimated to exceed US$100,000 resulting from a simplified purchase process, lower costs & reduced 2% vendor’s tax on future sale.
NOTE: If interest in purchase of just one villa, please contact us.
