Your home in the
Cape, found by Europeans who live here.

Yes, fully. Foreign nationals can buy freehold property and receive the same title deed as a South African, with no restrictions. You don't need citizenship or residency. A valid passport and a SARS tax number are enough.

Yes, provided the funds you bring in are recorded with an authorised-dealer bank when you buy. That registration is exactly what lets you repatriate your capital and profit later, and making sure it's done properly is part of our job.

Yes, though non-residents are generally limited to around 50% loan-to-value: you introduce one euro from abroad for every one you borrow locally. In practice, plan for a deposit of roughly half the purchase price.

Budget roughly 6–9% for transfer duty, conveyancing and (if you finance) bond registration. Transfer duty is progressive and starts at 0% on the first R1.1 million.

Municipal rates, estate or sectional-title levies, insurance and utilities, and these are typically far lower than in comparable European cities.

There's no annual wealth tax. As a non-resident you register with SARS, pay income tax on any rental earnings, and capital gains tax when you sell. On the sale itself, SARS can withhold a portion of the proceeds until your return is filed, another reason the paperwork matters.

It's the first question almost every buyer asks. We steer you toward suburbs and estates with proper access control and 24/7 security, and we walk every property in person before you ever consider it.

A fair question since 2022. We flag whether a home has solar, inverter or battery backup, a borehole or water tanks, which is increasingly a standard in the homes we recommend, and a real factor in resale.

It's a constitutional democracy with an independent judiciary and a free press. It's also the only country in history to have built nuclear weapons and then voluntarily dismantled them, and it sits within an internationally recognised nuclear-weapon-free zone. One reason it rarely features in serious global-conflict scenarios. For many of our buyers, that long-term peace of mind is part of the appeal.

No. Most of our clients don't set foot in South Africa until they collect the keys. We view properties in person, film honest walk-throughs, negotiate on your behalf and coordinate the legal team, all remotely.

No. Owning and living here are separate things. Residency runs through work, business, retirement or family visa routes. We can point you in the right direction, but it's a separate process from the purchase.

In the metros and established coastal nodes the market is liquid. We advise you on resale prospects before you buy, not after. So your exit is part of the plan from day one.
