Step by Step: Your Real Estate Buying Process in Mauritius as an Expat

1. Property Selection and Purchase Offer:

   - Once you've identified the property that meets all your expectations, we proceed to draft a purchase offer. This document formalizes your intention to buy and the sale conditions.

   - The offer is drafted to reflect agreements between you, the buyer, and the seller.

2. Signing of the Purchase Offer:

   - After thorough review, the purchase offer is signed by you and the seller, confirming the agreement on the sale terms.

3. Selection and Involvement of the Notary:

   - Together, we select a notary to draft the sale agreement and to carry out all necessary legal checks.

4. Signing of the Sale Agreement and Payment of the Deposit:

   - The sale agreement is signed by all parties. At this stage, a 10% deposit is paid into the notary's escrow account.

5. Application for Purchase Authorization with the EDB:

   - A purchase authorization request is submitted to Mauritius' Economic Development Board (EDB), a process that can take between 2 and 4 months.

6. Signing of the Deed of Sale and Payment of Funds:

   - Before signing the deed of sale, the full funds must be transferred to the notary's escrow account, with proof of fund origin.

7. Handover of Keys and Property Acquisition:

   - Signing the deed of sale marks the handover of keys, and you officially become the property owner in Mauritius.

8. Acquisition of the Permanent Residence Permit:

   - A property valued over 375,000 dollars entitles you to a permanent residence permit for you and your family, a process of about 3 to 4 months.
