HOMES and LAND FOR SALE

PRAIA DO PILAR-MORADA DO SOL- 17-01-18-F

Wish you were here...?

Overview

Brazilian law allows for foreign non-residents to own homes and land in Brazil, with few restrictions, and tourist visas allow visits of up to 6 months a year. Many foreigners own on the island – either for personal use, rental income (or a combination of both), or purely for investment purposes. A few foreign owners live here permanently, more visit for between 2 weeks and 6 months a year, and some are just leaving their investments to appreciate.

While the process to buy and sell is certainly bureaucratic by western standards, when using local English-speaking experts it can be a stress-free and enjoyable experience. Prices are surprisingly low for a home on the beach of a tropical island, and land banking is also popular for the medium to long term investor.

All real estate purchases and sales are conducted in the Brazilian Real (R$) currency, with contracts written in Portuguese, although translations can be asked for. It is important to follow the correct procedures, and to appreciate international foreign exchange laws, so getting professional advice, in English, is absolutely essential.

Maintenance

There are English speaking property and rental management services on the island, who can look after your investment in your absence. Short and long term rentals are common in the Brazilian market here, so you will not have to rely just on foreign visitors for bookings.

Naturally a detached house with a pool may appear more desirable, but the associated holding (running) costs are considerably greater, as are the taxes and annual maintenance, and these houses are harder to rent out part-time. Most foreigners invest in low-rise beachfront condominiums, with the idea of some personal usage, and rental income to offset costs when they are not here – and with the big advantage of in-house property management.

Whatever you may consider, property management and a schedule of maintenance is essential.
