  • Mixed Barbados is expensive overall; the west coast (Platinum Coast, Holetown) is the priciest area, east and inland cheaper

  • Mixed Property transaction taxes: sources disagree on who pays and the rate (2.5% seller-paid transfer tax plus 1% stamp duty vs a 10% non-resident figure)
  • Concern Repatriating sale proceeds is restricted under exchange control; many non-residents use offshore holding companies
