Legal and tax structure

Title in the region ranges from freehold to leasehold to structures that restrict foreign ownership outright, and the vehicle a property is bought through determines the tax position in both countries. Structure is settled before an offer, because it is expensive to change afterwards.

What this covers

  • Title review and what the deed actually conveys
  • Ownership vehicle: personal, corporate or trust
  • Transfer taxes, stamp duty and annual charges
  • Coordination with your own advisers at home
