Buying a house in Curaçao from abroad
Many people who buy a house in Curaçao still live overseas. Some are planning a move, some want a second home for the winter months, others want a property to rent out. What you are looking for decides what matters: a villa with a private pool in Jan Thiel calls for different questions than a new-build apartment in Hòfi Sint Joris.
This page shows all the houses for sale that Proverties currently offers, from a villa in Vista Royal to new builds in Zyon Residence and an apartment in La Privada Resort near Mambo Beach. The listings change. If you don't see what you are after, let us know; Aida also knows homes that are not online yet.
When you buy, budget for buyer's costs of usually 6 to 8 percent of the purchase price, including 4 percent transfer tax. Also check whether the land is freehold or long lease. The transfer always goes through a notary in Curaçao. Proverties guides you from the first viewing to the handover of the keys, and afterwards with renting out and managing the home if you wish.
Frequently asked questions
Can foreigners buy a house in Curaçao?
Yes. You don't need to live in Curaçao to buy property there. The sale is set out in a purchase agreement and the transfer goes through a notary on the island. Proverties also guides you if you arrange most of it from abroad.
What are the buyer's costs in Curaçao?
Expect usually 6 to 8 percent of the purchase price on top of the price. Of that, 4 percent is transfer tax; the rest goes to the notary and the land registry, among other things. For a home in a complex, add the yearly contribution to the owners' association.
What is the difference between freehold and long-lease land?
With freehold land, you buy the land along with the house. With long lease, the land usually stays with the government and you pay a yearly ground rent. Each listing states which applies; if in doubt, ask us before you make an offer.
How does buying a house in Curaçao work?
You decide on your wishes and budget, view homes and make an offer. Once buyer and seller agree, a purchase agreement follows. The notary checks the documents, handles the payment and arranges the transfer. Then you get the keys.
Can I rent out my house in Curaçao later?
Often you can, either long term or as a vacation rental. It depends on the property and the rules of the complex. If you plan to rent it out, keep that in mind while you search. Proverties can then take care of the rental and management for you.
