Things to consider before buying a property in Fiji

Many people prefer to invest in a real estate property or buy a house abroad, rather than buying in their own country. The reason could be the, higher value of money in many foreign countries, availability of luxurious house in abroad countries at a cheaper rate or to get a house at their desired location they wish etc.

But before buying a property abroad they must ask themselves few questions, such as

• How much they are willing to invest in a property abroad?
• The location they want to buy a property like near beach, town or center of the city etc.
•  The house or property they are owning, have enough sufficient room for their family members or not?
• And Finally whether they want to consider a good real estate agent or take a legal advice from a local attorney for buying a property abroad.

In a similar way if they are planning to buy property in Fiji Islands they must consider many such things, as property for sale in Fiji for foreigners is restricted. Foreigners cannot buy or rent a property wherever they wish in Fiji. They can only buy certain lands that are meant for buying and selling by foreign peoples.
