Buying and selling services in Cayman

We'll go over your sales contract with you and answer your questions. This includes explaining the property's boundaries and any rights or responsibilities that come with the purchase. 

Stamp duty is paid by property buyers on property transfers, leases and registered mortgages.  

Our team will assess if you qualify for any stamp duty savings, for example being an eligible first or second time buyer, and help calculate the stamp duty rate of your property.  

We'll ensure the seller has the legal right to sell the property and that there are no barriers to transferring ownership to you by checking the Cayman Islands Land Registry. The Cayman Islands government guarantees the entries on the land register so there is no need to acquire title insurance.

Purchasing a property is a significant life event. To ensure your assets are protected and your wishes clearly documented, we highly recommend making a will or reviewing your current will. Our dedicated Estate Planning, Wills and Probate team will guide you through updating or drafting your will to reflect your property purchase. 

These are typically negotiated between you and the agent before your property is listed. It's essential to have the agreed fee documented in writing.

Like buying, we'll offer a fee estimate before you commit, adjusting based on the complexity of your transaction and any additional needs.
