Yes, Americans can purchase property in the Cayman Islands. While there are generally no significant restrictions on owning residential properties, it’s important to be aware of specific rules regarding land ownership and any associated fees. Additionally, buying property in the Cayman Islands does not grant automatic residency or work permits, so separate applications may be required for those purposes.

The Cayman Islands does not impose property taxes, capital gains taxes, or inheritance taxes on real estate transactions. This tax-friendly policy has made the Cayman Islands an attractive destination for real estate investors.

Yes, British passport holders can purchase property in the Cayman Islands. The Cayman Islands are a British Overseas Territory, and there are generally no specific restrictions on British citizens owning property in the Cayman Islands.

The best investment properties in the Cayman Islands typically include beachfront condos, rental properties (both long-term and short-term), commercial real estate, and developments. Beachfront properties tend to offer high rental potential due to their desirability, while rental properties can provide a steady income stream. Commercial real estate, especially in thriving business areas, can be lucrative, and developments can offer significant returns. It’s important to conduct thorough research, consider your investment goals, and work with one of our ERA local real estate experts to make informed decisions based on your preferences and risk tolerance.

Building a home in the Cayman Islands is generally feasible but involves a structured process. After purchasing land, obtaining planning permission from the Cayman Islands Planning Department is essential, following local building codes and zoning regulations. You’ll also need to arrange utilities and services, pay permit fees, and monitor construction quality. Upon completion, obtaining a completion certificate is necessary. While manageable, working with local experts and adhering to procedures is crucial for a successful home construction in the Cayman Islands.

When buying real estate in the Cayman Islands, you can expect to encounter several fees and costs, including Stamp Duty, which varies based on the purchase price and property type, legal fees for a Cayman Islands attorney, surveyor’s fees if a survey is required, mortgage-related fees if financing, real estate agent’s commission (usually paid by the seller), property insurance, potential home inspection fees, utilities and service connection costs, strata fees for certain properties, and the annual “Stamp Duty Land Tax” on the unimproved land value. The specific amounts and details can vary, so it’s essential to work with an ERA Real Estate Agent to get a comprehensive breakdown for your particular real estate transaction.

We contracted with Jeanette Totten of ERA Cayman Islands Real Estate to sell our properties on Grand Cayman. We are located in the northeastern U.S., and therefore all of our contact with Jeanette was conducted remotely, including the closing and money transfer. We found Jeanette to be highly professional and working with her was a very pleasant and efficient experience. She was highly responsive, always answering our emails and phone calls within hours, if not minutes. Her responses to our questions were very direct and to the point. Jeanette has a keen sense of the real estate market on Cayman. She told us what to expect regarding prices and demand for real estate, and didn’t try to oversell the market. She also appears to be well-known and well-connected on the island, and we would highly recommend her.

We would like to thank Liesel Van Der Touw for helping us find our dream home on Cayman Brac. She has been a blessing throughout this transition. From showing us homes on the Brac, to helping us complete the sale. She is a hands on realtor and friend. Whenever we had a question about anything, she was prompt to respond with the answer. We would highly recommend Liesel for anyone who is looking for an awesome realtor who knows the business inside and out.
Joyce Jones Google Business Review
We just bought our dream home with the help of ERA, agent Kristina King. Kristina was so helpful, honest, down to earth, and made this crazy competitive housing market less stressful. She hung in there with us for months while we searched for the right place, and after everything, she found the house, got us a first viewing, and we offered that afternoon and it was accepted that night! The contract signing process went seamlessly and she was incredibly professional throughout the whole process. I would recommend her to anyone, local or overseas, she's someone you can really trust!
