The brief

The reason to consider it.

Welcome to a two-bedroom, two-bath apartment in the West Winds gated community on western New Providence.

The development offers gated community living and convenient island access; the apartment is offered semi-furnished. Note that the source lists an identical floor size and lot size (1,600 sq ft), so the lot/plot figure has been omitted as the unit is an apartment and no private plot is confirmed.

What people say about Bahamas

Sources agree that foreigners can own Bahamian property outright and that an ordinary home purchase needs a registration filing through a Bahamian lawyer, not a discretionary permit.

  • Positive Foreign buyers mostly register rather than seek a permit; permit applies to large or commercial land
  • Mixed Closing costs are dominated by a 10% transfer VAT for foreign buyers, usually split with the seller, plus legal fees
  • Mixed Annual property tax is being reshaped in 2026 (new foreign owner-occupied category), and Bahamian realtors dispute fairness
  • Concern Vacant land owned by foreigners carries a notably heavier tax until built on
