Buying Real Estate in Mauritius
As described above to allow foreigners to acquire real estate, the Mauritian government has put in place a regulated framework which offers foreigners the opportunity to fully own a property in a private residence. The purchase of real estate can be done individually or under an entity (Company, SCI, Trust, etc.).
We select only those properties we consider offer something a little different and will always be in demand when the time comes to sell. The figures quoted for rental yields and capital appreciation are independently validated via annual real estate reports. As are the market prices. We only recommend companies with a proven track record not only in construction and on time delivery but as importantly in the way they look after our clients.
