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.

 

 

 

✅ Yes — Foreigners Can Buy Property in the Bahamas

 

 

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.

 

 

 

📑 Step-by-Step: How to Buy Real Estate as a Non-Citizen

 

 

  1. Choose your property – CPH Invest provides full brochures, floor plans, and unit details.

  2. Sign a letter of intent – Reserve your property with a small deposit.

  3. Hire a local attorney – We can recommend independent legal counsel.

  4. Perform due diligence – Your lawyer checks title, zoning, and ownership.

  5. Sign the purchase agreement – Finalize the deal before a licensed notary.

  6. 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.

 

 

 

🛡️ Why Freeport Is the Best Place to Buy

 

 

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.

 

 

 

🏗️ New Projects Are Selling Before Completion

 

 

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

 

 

If you’re ready to buy — or build — as a foreigner, we’re already structured to support you.
