Generally, yes. As a rule, non-residents are not prevented from buying real estate in Israel, but there are differences depending on the type of property, the rights in it (ownership or lease) and your personal circumstances. We will be glad to review your specific case.
Not necessarily. In many cases a large part of the process can be managed remotely, subject to the registration and signing requirements. We will build a work plan that keeps travel to a minimum.
Official transaction documents in Israel are usually drawn up in Hebrew. We prepare explanations and translations of the material clauses for you, and make sure you understand every obligation before you sign.
Tax liability depends, among other things, on residency status, the type of property and the structure of the purchase. We will explain the expected costs in advance, so that you can assess the investment in full.
The length of the transaction varies with the property and its complexity. In our first call we will give you a realistic timeline.
