This clever system doubles the size of the living area of the house, allows the natural breezes to flow through and lets the beautiful gardens and views onto the Windward reef and eastern coast of the island be enjoyed from everywhere in the property. There is a series of 5 photographs at the end of the photo gallery which show how the walls lower on a simple, but highly effective and easy to operate, counter weight system.

Grenada & Carriacou - Property Buying Information

Grenada is predicted from current indicators to be one of the fastest growing Tourist destinations in the Caribbean over the next few years.

Supporting You through the Process

The sale process can easily be handled remotely from the UK, US or Canada. Most of our previous purchasers have visited the island and then proceeded with the sale remotely, visiting once more after the property has exchanged. Our team are on hand to assist with the purchase process as you go forward.

Alien Land Holders Licence

All foreign nationals wishing to purchase property in Grenada must apply for an Aliens Land Holding Licence, which is generally a simple process handled by the buyers attorney, once the licence has been issued 10% of the purchase price must then be paid to the government. Before the licence is issued the buyer must provide bankers reference letters, character & police references.

Time Scale

It normally takes 2-3 months for legal process and the sale to close. All can progress smoothly without the need for the buyer to be on the island.

Legal Matters

The purchaser appoints a Grenadian attorney to search the register and establish title to the property prior to the completion of sale to ensure that there are no encumbrances, charges, encroachments or other impediments to the sale. We can provide you with a set of recommended Grenadian attorneys upon request.

A purchaser of such a leasehold interest will enjoy all the benefits of an absolute title for the duration of the lease. Lease can be renewed for usually a fairly small fee and the legal process is straightforward - the renewal can be done once the property is purchased.
