While island acquisition is an exclusive and niche market, there are private islands around the globe that are available to purchase for the right buyer. Unlike other luxury real estate deals, these exclusive listings need to be handled with the utmost care and expertise. If you’re in the market to find an island, you’re in the right place. Whether it’s an island off the coast of Vancouver Island, a tropical island near Costa Rica or the Cayman Islands, Jim and the team at LeBlanc Piercy have the experience and knowledge required to create the right purchase strategy for you and guide you through the process.
Titles and Island Acquisition
One of the crucial aspects of island acquisition is the Title which, in most cases, should include 100% ownership of the entire property. There may be some acceptable exceptions (ex. a lighthouse owned and operated by the local government located on the island in question will remain owned and operated by aforementioned local government) but outside of such exceptions, Title should include 100% ownership of the entire island. Other Title considerations include but are not limited to; building restrictions, environmental laws, transfer or purchase tax, income tax in the event of resale, and more.
We Get All the Details
Like any real estate deal, it’s all about knowing the details. Unlike most real estate however, buying an island requires a careful and strategic plan to gather all the information in detail to ensure that the purchase is viable. Here are some examples of the information needed to create an effective purchase strategy:
Insects and wildlife
Local and national laws
Access to the island
Infrastructure – potable water, electricity, condition of existing buildings, helicopter landing or airplane runway for air access and wharf for sea access
Legislation required to add structures
Unencumbered freehold Title
Free or restricted markets infrastructure
Archaeological aspects
Readily available medical access
Accessible year-round
