How to buy

From first enquiry to registered title.

Six steps, one counterparty. The Company sells on identical terms to every purchaser — local or foreign — and walks non-citizens through the Alien Land Holding Licence alongside the sale.

01

Shortlist the ground

Filter the register by use, size and terrain, or draw a search area on the map. Every lot carries its acreage, access, utilities and an indicative guide before you speak to anyone.

Typical
Same day
02

Register interest

Open a file on a lot or a consolidation. A case officer is assigned, the survey plan and valuation summary are released, and a twenty-one day soft hold is placed while you review.

Typical
21 days
03

Site visit and due diligence

Walk the ground with the officer, take your own survey and soil advice, and confirm zoning and servicing with the utilities. The Company supplies the vesting evidence and title extract.

Typical
2–6 weeks
04

Offer and board approval

Submit a written offer with your scheme outline and funding evidence. The board considers price, use and deliverability, and may approve a consolidated or further-subdivided sale.

Typical
4–8 weeks
05

Licence and agreement

Non-citizens lodge the Alien Land Holding Licence application with the file the Company has prepared. Sale and purchase agreement is executed and the deposit is held by the attorneys.

Typical
8–12 weeks
06

Completion and registration

Balance is paid, the conveyance is executed and the title is registered in your name. Development conditions, where the board has set them, run with the title.

Typical
3–6 months
For non-citizens

The Alien Land Holding Licence.

Any purchaser who is not a citizen of St. Christopher and Nevis requires a licence to hold land, granted by Cabinet on the recommendation of the Ministry of Land. It is a routine consent for a credible scheme, and it runs in parallel with the sale rather than ahead of it.

The Company prepares the land particulars, the vesting evidence and the site plan for your application file, and a case officer tracks it through to grant. Figures below are indicative — the Ministry confirms the assessment on lodgement.
