Purchasing property in South Africa as a foreigner |
For purchasers from abroad our service proves particularly
invaluable. Our team comprises of experienced staff from the
United Kingdom, Germany and South Africa who are able to provide
advice not just on house purchase but all the associated items
that go with it.
Prospective buyers face a number of issues that are unique
to the foreigner purchasing property abroad:
- The tax repercussions
- The correct financing
- Exchange control issues
- A lack of in-depth knowledge of geographical areas
- Little background on house prices
- No legal representative or buyers agent acting on their
behalf therefore dealing
with the sellers agent.
- Permit issues
- A different method of buying a property in terms of
when you are legally obliged
to proceed with the transaction.
- Very often we have heard of horror stories where foreign
buyers have not fully understood,
or are not fully explained to, the repercussions of various
aspects of house purchase.
Our purchasers from abroad are often buying the holiday home
of their dreams and even a home to immigrate to either now
or in the future. This involves a large capital and emotional
outlay, one that deserves you seek the correct advice and
legal representation.
