Investment property: Cayman Islands

We act on the buyer's side: shortlist, checks, end-to-end deal support.

The Cayman Islands are one of the most open property markets in the world for foreigners. There are no restrictions on foreign ownership, title is guaranteed by the government land registry, and there is no annual property tax - nor any income or capital gains tax. The one major cost is a one-time stamp duty of 7.5% on purchase. The market is premium and dollar-based: the local currency is firmly pegged to the US dollar, and demand centers on Seven Mile Beach and Grand Cayman generally. Real estate is built into the residency framework: there is a 25-year residency certificate and permanent residence for persons of independent means through investment in developed real estate - the permanent status threshold is around USD 2.4 million.

We manage the deal from goal to registration: we match the property to your purpose - residency status, a base in a tax-neutral jurisdiction, or rental use - verify title and encumbrances through the registry, and coordinate local counsel. We also help with ownership structuring and with the residency application when the purchase is made for that purpose: the programs' requirements on property type and value need to be factored in before the deal, not after.

FAQ

Can a foreigner buy property in the Cayman Islands?
Yes, with no restrictions and no special permits. Title is guaranteed by the government land registry, and there is no annual property tax - a one-time stamp duty of 7.5% applies on purchase.
Does buying property grant residency in the Cayman Islands?
Yes, through official programs: the 25-year residency certificate and permanent residence for persons of independent means both require investment in developed real estate, with the permanent status threshold around USD 2.4 million. The property must meet the program's requirements.
Where do we start?
With your goal: buying for residency and buying as an asset are different deals with different property requirements. We help define the threshold, select the property, and sequence the purchase and the application correctly.
