Our team is here to help you understand the logistics of buying at Oil Nut Bay and in the British Virgin Islands. Homebuyers can trust that we have the experience needed to ensure the process goes smoothly. All property at Oil Nut Bay is freehold, meaning you own it forever. Your new home will be enjoyed by your family for generations to come.
TAXES
Two sets of taxes are levied by the BVI Government. A one-time Stamp Duty is applied to real estate transactions. Stamp Duty is levied at a rate of 12% for Non-Belongers and 4% for Belongers (BVI Citizens). The Annual Property Tax includes a Land Tax levied at the rate of $150 for the first half an acre to one acre, and $50 for any additional acreage thereafter. An additional House Tax is levied at the rate of 1.5% of the assessed annual rental value. In practice, these taxes amount to $2,000-$5,000/year depending on the size of the property.
NON-BELONGER LANDHOLDER LICENSE
Individuals who are not residents of the British Virgin Islands will need to obtain a Non-Belonger Landholder License before purchasing property. The timeline from application to approval is usually 60 to 90 days. Applicants submit a completed application together with several supporting documents to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Labour. The Ministry processes the application and subsequently submits it to the Cabinet for approval.
FINANCING & INSURANCE
BVI banks offer financing to overseas investors, subject to application. Construction financing may also be available for new construction. Typical rates are variable, up to a 25-year term length, and require a 20-30% down payment. Several insurers offer coverage in the BVI to ensure your investment is secured. It is important to note that the purchaser need not be present in the BVI during any stage of the purchase process.
The developer, David Johnson, audaciously planned, developed and continues to refine Oil Nut Bay, which is nothing like anything we’ve seen anywhere.
