Property in Namibia for Foreigners
Property can be part of a personal or business plan, but it does not replace checks on permits, banking or tax structure. This hub groups the guides on purchase rules, transaction costs and the coastal market.
Transaction rules and costs
What a foreign buyer can purchase, which stages a transaction follows and which costs to check before signing are covered in buying property as a foreigner. Transfer duty, council charges and tax terms are explained separately in property taxes in Namibia.
The coast is a separate market
Swakopmund, Walvis Bay and Lüderitz differ from Windhoek in the role played by tourism, the port and oil and gas. Sources and figures for that angle are in the guide to coastal property in Namibia.
What to check alongside a purchase
Buying an asset does not itself create an immigration status. For a related business plan, use the investment and business hub, and check permit requirements in the residence hub.
