Purchasing Process

Once a property is identified by a Buyer, price and basic terms are agreed upon between the parties. The Seller’s attorney then issues a formal Purchase and Sales Agreement for review by the Buyer’s attorney.

A separate construction agreement is executed covering all aspects of the design and construction of your villa. Additional documents governing management of Ambergris Cay include a Restrictive Agreement, By-Laws, and a Rental Management Agreement.

Purchase of a villa includes a one-time stamp duty of 6.5% on the value of the land, payable by the Purchaser to the Turks and Caicos Government.

Following the execution of the agreements, title is transferred to the purchaser and construction can commence.
