Cape Verde Property Buying Guide

Emerging Cape Verde property market has been in conjunction with growing visitors to the tropical island with surfing and year round sunshine. Infrastructure expansion is greatly planned with an international airport, 4 or more tourist designated islands, road networks and inward investment relaxation of rules to accommodate foreign property buying. Cape Verde government is keen to attract many visitors on prolonged stays and as tourists to the number of islands earmarked for tourist development. Good returns for property developers that wish to build houses and apartments for holiday rentals to sell on or sit back and take high rental yields. Of course tax is due on rental profits, although substantial incomes can be made investing in the right property or land for development. Risk is always present buying property in an emerging market, although Cape Verde seems very promising as a long term property investment proposition.

Buying Process Cape Verde Property

Search for property and putting in an offer is the first stage of property buying. Estate agents and property developers can help with land and buildings for sale or you can locate property for sale on many websites and deal direct with owners and house builders and save money in the buying process. Good idea to conduct searches on the local area and property through Land Charge searches at the Municipal Authority and Land Registry Offices in Cape Verde. Searches here will provide a lot of information on the property:

- Debt attached to the property. Check to see all taxes, utilities is paid on the property as the new owner would inherit all financial liabilities.

- Restrictions on the property, property transfer and title.

- Valid habitation permit that goes with a valid conveyance of the property.

- Land register certificate “Certidao do Registo Predial”.

- Map location of the property “Planta de Localizacao”.

- Tax information on the property “Certidao Matricial”.

Retain the services of a good lawyer who will arrange for the initial contract to be signed and agreed by both parties in property buying, and all other legal matters. Of course have a lawyer check all the details above and if the property is registered and in the sellers name and has the right to sell the property.

- Get hold of a tax card that is required when buying property and paying taxation due.

When signing the initial contract in the lawyers or builders (Promissory Contract of Purchase and Sale “Contrato Promessa de Compra e Venda”) office a deposit is due and the contract is binding, meaning you must buy the property and the sellers must sell you the property. Contracts are as mentioned signed in a lawyer’s office known as a Notary Public in Cape Verde.

When you have completed all the searches on the property and your lawyer says that everything is no problems with the property and the survey check on the property is all clear the final contact will require to be signed. Escritura is the final deed of conveyance that gets signed in a Notary Public in Cape Verde and provides the buyer of the property a document proving they are the rightful owner of the property. The Notary will register the title deed with the local land Registry and local Municipal Authority enabling enforceable title, also your lawyer can register the property. Final balance due on the property is due at this point.

Notary, lawyer, survey fees are also due, and stamp duty at present 2.5% of the final property buying price, all which are payable at the time of the final contract signing.

- Taxes are payable, please remember. Capital gains taxation when buying land for building is payable at different rates according to the sales price of the end user of the property. Sales vales in excess of 100% of purchase price of the land are then due, with other capital gains tax levels due if the increase in selling price is 30% or more.

- Transfer tax at 3% payable at the final contract signing stage.

- Annual taxes are due at present in excess of 3% per annum.

- Capital gains tax is also payable at 3% presently for the property and a “Declaracao de Mais Vallis” Capital Gains Tax Statement is also required to be sent to the Cape Verde Government within 30 days of the deed being issued.

- Gifts of property or property transferred to anyone including family members are taxable at 3% transfer at present.

Economy of Cape Verde $71.7 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Cape Verde is a small archipelagic nation that lacks resources and has experienced severe droughts. Agriculture is made difficult by lack of rain and is restricted to only four islands for most of the year. Most of the nations GDP comes from the service industry. Cape Verdes economy has been steadily growing since the late 1990s, and it is now officially considered a country of average development, being only the second country to have achieved such transition, after Botswana in 1994. Cape Verde has significant cooperation with Portugal at every level of the economy, which has led it to link its currency first to the Portuguese escudo and, in 1999, to the euro.
