High-yield growth corridor — Governor's Consent, CCI documentation, and FX controls demand careful structuring.

Everything you need to buy, hold, and exit

Each property report covers the full lifecycle — from foreign-ownership rules to repatriating proceeds on exit. No section skipped.

Foreign-ownership rules

What foreigners can hold — freehold, leasehold, SPV, or restricted — by jurisdiction and asset type.

Due diligence report

Title chain, encumbrances, planning status, surveys, and counter-party checks before any funds move.

Acquisition tax

Stamp duty, transfer tax, ITBI, SDLT surcharges, FIRPTA — modelled into landed cost.

Holding & rental tax

Annual property tax, rental income tax, withholding, and ongoing local charges.

Yield & cash-flow modelling

Realistic gross and net yields by city and submarket — with vacancy, management, and FX assumed.

Title perfection & registration

Notary deeds, Lands Commission, Cartório, Governor's Consent — what 'registered' actually means in each market.

FX & capital repatriation

CCI in Nigeria, BCB registration in Brazil, GIPC in Ghana, US wire compliance — how to get money out cleanly.

Exit & disposal

CGT, FIRPTA, 60-day reporting, BRL/NGN volatility — modelled before you commit.

Risk register

Title fraud, omo onile, double-allocation, FX controls, planning risk — scored and mitigated.

Markets we cover end-to-end

Every market on the page comes with its own ownership rules, tax profile, FX path, and risk register — written for a non-resident buyer.

Foreigners can own urban property freely with a CPF — rural and border-zone land is restricted. BRL volatility and Central Bank registration drive structuring.
