  • Property purchase procedure in St Kitts and Nevis

    Real estate in Saint Kitts and Nevis can be selected remotely: Immigrant Invest has a database of verified properties. The parties conclude a preliminary purchase and sale agreement: the buyer pays a deposit of 10% of the object’s value. This is necessary to withdraw the property from sale.

    The next stage is the purchase of a land ownership licence. The licence is purchased only by those foreigners who don’t participate in St Kitts and Nevis citizenship program. Then the parties sign the main purchase and sale agreement in the presence of a notary. A certificate of ownership is obtained in the state registry of the country. The property purchase process takes about a week.
