Investing in real estate in the Bahamas as a foreign buyer is easier than many expect — especially in Grand Bahama. Whether you’re looking to purchase a villa, beachfront apartment, or development lot in Freeport, the legal framework is clear and supportive. In this article, we show you how non-residents can legally and quickly secure property with full ownership rights — and how CPH Invest makes the process smooth from start to finish.
If you’re a non-Bahamian interested in buying real estate in Grand Bahama, you’ll be glad to know: the process is clear, fast, and foreigner-friendly — if you know the rules.
At CPH Invest, we specialize in working with international buyers who want to own property in Freeport, whether for lifestyle, investment, or permanent residency.
Foreigners are legally allowed to buy property in the Bahamas. In fact, the government encourages it — especially in Freeport, which operates under a unique legal and tax structure.
You don’t need:
Bahamian citizenship
Residency status
Local partnership
All you need is a clear contract, a vetted property, and legal support — all of which CPH Invest provides through our trusted legal partners.
Choose your property – CPH Invest provides full brochures, floor plans, and unit details.
Sign a letter of intent – Reserve your property with a small deposit.
Hire a local attorney – We can recommend independent legal counsel.
Perform due diligence – Your lawyer checks title, zoning, and ownership.
Sign the purchase agreement – Finalize the deal before a licensed notary.
Register your ownership – Deed is recorded at the Registrar General’s Department.
🧠 CPH Invest simplifies this process and handles all the groundwork for you — start to finish.
Freeport (in Grand Bahama) is a Special Economic Zone, meaning:
No income tax
No capital gains tax
No annual property tax (in designated areas)
Fast legal processing thanks to the Hawksbill Creek Agreement
That’s why more and more international buyers are skipping Nassau and heading straight to Grand Bahama.
CPH Invest currently has:
Over 10 homes under construction, all sold
New villas, apartments, and beachfront units launching soon
Projects eligible for residency-by-investment programs
