The purchase of bare land or developed land is usually a big decision and is frequently laden with hidden issues for the purchaser – either at inception or at a later stage, once negotiations start. As such, it is imperative to complete an in-depth due diligence on any property before purchase. The Chambers has a critical eye for detail and no element is left out of the risk identification process.

Your citizenship makes a substantial difference to a purchase and certain approvals may need to be obtained in order to complete a sale.

Christen Chambers diligently looks at a purchase of property in Seychelles from all angles to uncover any potential property-law snares that the client should be aware of from the onset. The benefits to the client are substantial in the form of having an established purchase procedure, ensuring the full costs are understood from inception, and the peace of mind to know that all angles have been covered in the transaction.

Development

  • Conveyancing
  • Land Use Rights
  • Environmental Law
  • Sectional Titles
  • Property Litigation

Over the years, Seychelles has seen a substantial increase in development projects to cater to the increase in tourism in Seychelles and the increase in wealth and liquidity globally. Some of the noticeable projects include luxury homes on Eden Island, penthouses and condominiums at Pangia Beach and villas at the numerous resorts on Mahé, stretching to the outer islands.

Pangia Beach, located between the airport and Eden Island, is a modern twist on barefoot luxury and has been a tremendously successful venture for its developers. The Chambers proudly represents this project and is ready to assist any developer in finding similar success in their future Seychelles projects.
