The brief

The reason to consider it.

A generous, vacant lot sits on a deep bend adopting the well known locale name of “Go Slow Bend” along the North Western shoreline of New Providence. This oversized lot is irregular in shape offering wide-angled, northwest ocean views. With the right architect on-board, an ultra modern home constructed on this property should be able to present breathtaking views from each room. It is an ideal, popular and much sort after location; a very central point, enjoying easy access to the downtown area; to shopping, educational institutions, entertainment, fine dining and other necessities as well as the international airport. This is a great opportunity to bring into reality, that dream home with ocean views and tropical breezes.

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
