St. Maarten Real Estate - Buyers Market
St. Maarten real estate opportunities have never been better. There are very few restrictions when purchasing real estate. Anyone can own property on St. Maarten. Furthermore, there are no annual property taxes, no personal capital gains taxes and St. Maarten is a duty free port making the owning of real estate here all the more appealing.
St. Maarten Real estate transactions are always closed using the European system where the Civil Law Notary (appointed by the queen) is responsible, by law, to both parties and is obligated to do a proper title search to insure a clear title transfer. The responsibility of clear title is with the Notary, thus title insurance is not needed. All Notaries are lawyers; a personal attorney is not necessary. St. Maarten real estate closings are in English within the time frame set by the purchase agreement . Closing costs are minimal and are the buyer's responsibility. Closing costs include a one-time government transfer tax, plus the Notary's fee with the total of both amounting to approximately 5-6% of the sale price.
There are three basic types of deed transfers for St. Maarten real estate transactions:
You may purchase property in your own name or in the name of a business. Personal or business accounts can be opened at local banks. All in all, the process of purchasing St. Maarten real estate is quite simple. Where there are further questions or issues, our experienced agents, at RE/MAX Island Properties are here to assist you!
French St. Martin Real Estate - Stunning
The French St. Martin real estate market is somewhat different than Dutch side of the island. On French St. Martin, real estate transactions are always handled by the Notaire(Notary). The Notaire is responsible for preparing the final deed and obtaining all relevant searches about the property. The Notaire must check that each party has full capacity or the right either to sell or purchase property. Like on the Dutch side of St. Maarten, the Notaire is responsible, by law, to both parties and is obligated to do a proper title search to insure a clear title transfer. A personal attorney is not necessary.
The greatest difference from the Dutch side is that on the French side there are annual real estate taxes, annual living taxes and substantial capital gains taxes. The St. Martin real estate market has many attractive opportunities. Let Remax Island Properties help you find that perfect 2nd home.
