Apartments for Sale in Surinam

Yes, foreign nationals can buy apartments in Mauritius through approved routes: the Property Development Scheme (PDS), the Smart City Scheme, apartments in G+2 buildings and resale units in older IRS/RES developments, each with Economic Development Board (EDB) approval. A PDS or Smart City purchase of USD 375,000 or more gives the buyer and family a residence permit for as long as the property is held. Our team can advise on the most suitable route for your situation.

The buyer pays 5% registration duty and the seller pays 5% land transfer tax, for non-citizens as well as citizens. Buyers should also budget for notary and legal fees, which vary by transaction. A licensed notary is mandatory for every property purchase in Mauritius and will confirm the exact costs before you sign.

A standard property purchase in Mauritius takes 60–90 days from offer to final deed signing. The process involves a preliminary sale agreement (vente en l'état futur d'achèvement for off-plan) followed by the official act of sale before a notary. Foreign buyers may need an additional 30–60 days to secure BOI approval where required.

Gross rental yields for apartments in well-located areas of Mauritius typically range from 4% to 7% per annum. Tourist-area apartments close to Grand Baie or Flic en Flac tend to achieve the highest yields, particularly when let on furnished short-term contracts. Net yields after management fees and maintenance costs are generally 3–5%.
