St. Lucia is one of the world’s most desirable real estate locations. If you are a St. Lucian national looking to make a real estate investment, or you have recently visited the island and are looking to purchase a vacation home, a permanent residence, or are considering going into business, it is vitally important to engage an experienced legal practitioner to guide and support you on your journey.
At Athena Law, we offer a range of services which includes representing your interests during the negotiation of a purchase agreement, advising on the best method of acquisition, drafting the legal documents needed to make these sales official, guiding you on the mortgage process, and even working to create legacy plans that ensure your heirs receive the property with minimum interference after your death. In addition, our many years of experience in handling commercial law and investments give us the unique ability to assist you in your business ventures, from construction agreements, government incentives and approvals to facilitating investor financing. Contact us today to find out more information.
Anyone, regardless of nationality and location, can acquire property in St. Lucia. While the citizenship of a potential buyer will not limit their ability to purchase, citizenship does play a role in the resulting legal process.
St. Lucia citizens can acquire property without any additional legal steps. A St. Lucia real estate attorney is ready to represent their interests immediately once they identify a piece of property that they wish to purchase.
Athena Law specializes in assisting non-citizens in navigating the specific laws that apply in St. Lucia. This can include obtaining an alien landholding license if a buyer wishes to acquire property while maintaining citizenship in their home country or identifying qualifying real estate or other options that may qualify a buyer for the citizenship by investment program.
