Each has its own eligibility rules, acquisition process, and transfer conditions.<\/p>\n        <p class=\"bd\">The first question is never the view or the furniture package.

Net yields in established Mauritius schemes typically run 3\u20136% per annum \u2014 not the higher figures sometimes quoted at the point of sale.<\/p>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"card\">\n        <div class=\"kicker\">Rental reality check<\/div>\n        <ul class=\"cl\">\n          <li>Layout practicality and ease of turnover between guests.<\/li>\n          <li>Air flow, natural light, and material durability in a tropical climate.<\/li>\n          <li>Management quality and consistency of guest experience.<\/li>\n          <li>Access, parking, and daily convenience for both guests and owners.<\/li>\n          <li>Realistic occupancy assumptions validated against comparable properties.<\/li>\n          <li>Net yield after management fees, maintenance, and service charges.<\/li>\n        <\/ul>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"g2\">\n      <div class=\"card\">\n        <div class=\"kicker\">Ongoing costs \u00b7 Mauritius property ownership<\/div>\n        <ul class=\"cl\">\n          <li>Registration duty and land transfer tax at acquisition.<\/li>\n          <li>Scheme-related or EDB administrative charges where applicable.<\/li>\n          <li>Annual service charges, syndic fees, and property management fees.<\/li>\n          <li>Insurance, utilities, maintenance, and sinking fund contributions.<\/li>\n          <li>Refurbishment cycles and long-term replacement costs for tropical wear.<\/li>\n        <\/ul>\n      <\/div>\n      <div>\n        <div class=\"kicker\">Operations<\/div>\n        <h2 class=\"st\">Operations quietly determine long-term value.<\/h2>\n        <p class=\"bd\">Management quality, maintenance standards, service charge discipline, and how day-to-day issues are resolved all shape the owner experience \u2014 and the resale position.

If your question is not here, call us.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"faq\">\n\n      <details>\n        <summary>Can foreigners buy property in Mauritius?<\/summary>\n        <div class=\"fb\">Yes, but acquisition is framework-based. Non-citizens must purchase through a recognised scheme \u2014 IRS, PDS, SCS, IHS, a qualifying G+2 apartment building, or another EDB-approved route \u2014 with the correct authority authorisation completed before title transfers. There is no informal foreign ownership market in Mauritius.<\/div>\n      <\/details>\n\n      <details>\n        <summary>What is the minimum investment to buy property in Mauritius as a foreigner?<\/summary>\n        <div class=\"fb\">It depends on the scheme. Under IRS, the minimum unit price is USD 375,000. Under PDS, there is no minimum purchase price, but residency eligibility begins at USD 375,000. For qualifying G+2 apartments, the minimum entry price is MUR 6 million (approximately USD 130,000). Properties below USD 375,000 do not carry automatic residency eligibility.<\/div>\n      <\/details>\n\n      <details>\n        <summary>Do I get Mauritius residency if I buy property?<\/summary>\n        <div class=\"fb\">Yes \u2014 purchasing within an EDB-approved scheme at USD 375,000 or above qualifies you to apply for a Mauritius Residence Permit. It covers the buyer, spouse, and dependent children, is valid as long as the property is owned, and exempts holders from Occupation Permit requirements. Processing takes 2\u20136 months via the EDB.<\/div>\n      <\/details>\n\n      <details>\n        <summary>What is the difference between IRS and PDS in Mauritius?<\/summary>\n        <div class=\"fb\">IRS (Integrated Resort Scheme) is an older framework associated with larger resort developments, with a minimum unit price of USD 375,000. PDS (Property Development Scheme) replaced IRS\/RES from 2015, has no minimum purchase price, but residency eligibility still applies at USD 375,000 and above. Both permit foreign ownership under the same EDB approval process.<\/div>\n      <\/details>\n\n      <details>\n        <summary>What should I verify before paying a reservation fee or deposit?<\/summary>\n        <div class=\"fb\">Before any funds are committed: scheme eligibility and the property's registration status; buyer eligibility as a non-citizen; title form and registered boundaries; payment schedule and written inclusions; delivery obligations; cancellation terms; service charges; and whether EDB approval is required before completion. A reservation fee is not always refundable \u2014 these items need to be clear first.<\/div>\n      <\/details>\n\n      <details>\n        <summary>Which matters more: the property or the structure behind it?<\/summary>\n        <div class=\"fb\">The structure comes first. A well-located property can become difficult to finance, hold, or resell if the ownership framework, title documentation, or transfer conditions are unclear. We have seen buyers inherit problems that were present at acquisition but not identified. The property is reviewed after the structure is confirmed, not before.<\/div>\n      <\/details>\n\n      <details>\n        <summary>Where is the best place to buy property in Mauritius?<\/summary>\n        <div class=\"fb\">The north coast (Grand Baie, Pereybere, Balaclava) offers the strongest resale demand and rental income. The west coast (Tamarin, Black River, Flic en Flac) suits lifestyle buyers seeking a calmer environment. The east coast (Belle Mare, Palmar) is characterised by resort-scale schemes suited to investment or periodic use. Each coast performs differently outside peak season.<\/div>\n      <\/details>\n\n      <details>\n        <summary>What are typical rental yields for Mauritius property?<\/summary>\n        <div class=\"fb\">Net rental yields in established schemes typically range from 3% to 6% per annum depending on location, asset type, and management quality. Developer-quoted yields are often gross figures, before management fees, maintenance, service charges, and vacancy. We review the operating model of any rental-focused property before presenting it to buyers.<\/div>\n      <\/details>\n\n      <details>\n        <summary>Is Mauritius better for lifestyle or rental income?<\/summary>\n        <div class=\"fb\">It can serve both purposes well, but the strategy must match the asset type and location. Lifestyle buyers should prioritise year-round livability and ease of access. Rental-focused buyers should examine off-peak demand, management quality, operating costs, and realistic occupancy from comparable properties in the same area.<\/div>\n      <\/details>\n\n      <details>\n        <summary>What ongoing costs should I expect as a Mauritius property owner?<\/summary>\n        <div class=\"fb\">Budget for: registration duty and land transfer tax at acquisition; notary and legal fees; annual service charges or syndic fees; property management fees; insurance; utilities; routine maintenance; sinking fund contributions; and periodic refurbishment for tropical wear. In resort-linked or co-owned properties, service charge levels and control are particularly important to review before acquisition.<\/div>\n      <\/details>\n\n      <details>\n        <summary>How long does it take to buy property in Mauritius as a foreigner?<\/summary>\n        <div class=\"fb\">Completed property acquisitions typically take 3 to 12 months from reservation to title transfer. Off-plan VEFA purchases follow the construction timeline and can take 18\u201336 months from reservation to handover, with phased payment schedules aligned to construction milestones.<\/div>\n      <\/details>\n\n      <details>\n        <summary>How should I think about resale and exit?<\/summary>\n        <div class=\"fb\">Resale is strongest when documentation is clean, the ownership structure is easy to understand, the location remains relevant for both local and foreign buyers, and the property can transfer without friction for the next purchaser. The exit strategy is planned at acquisition \u2014 not discovered at resale.<\/div>\n      <\/details>\n\n      <details>\n        <summary>What is the VEFA system for off-plan purchases in Mauritius?<\/summary>\n        <div class=\"fb\">VEFA (Vente en l'\u00c9tat Futur d'Ach\u00e8vement) is the legal framework governing off-plan purchases. The buyer acquires ownership progressively as construction advances, with phased payments linked to milestones. The developer bears legal responsibility for structural defects after completion. VEFA provides legal protections not available in informal off-plan arrangements.<\/div>\n      <\/details>\n\n      <details>\n        <summary>Do you work with buyers remotely?<\/summary>\n        <div class=\"fb\">Yes. A significant part of our advisory work is with buyers not yet in Mauritius. We conduct video calls, prepare written scheme and property reviews, coordinate with notaires and legal advisors, and accompany buyers on site visits when they arrive. The full acquisition can be managed with one or two visits, and in some cases remotely to completion. We are bilingual in French and English and serve buyers from Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia.<\/div>\n      <\/details>\n\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<!-- FINAL CTA -->\n<div
