What people say about Saba

  • Concern No notary on the island; deeds go through Sint Maarten notaries; one councillor alleges long escrow delays
  • Mixed Transfer tax 5% plus notary fees; no land registry yet (planned)
  • Concern Building is costly: hillside excavation, cistern, septic tank, foundations before construction starts
  • Concern Mortgages scarce and expensive; high deposits; no Netherlands lenders
