Buying Property in Barbados: Helpful Resources in One Place

Whether you’re buying your first home, returning to Barbados or purchasing from overseas, we have brought together our property resources to give you a clearer place to begin.

Buying a home often begins with excitement. But once the search becomes serious, the questions tend to follow.

What happens after my offer is accepted?

If I’m buying with my spouse, a relative or someone else, how should we own the property together?

And if I live overseas, can I still buy property in Barbados?

These are questions we hear often from buyers at different stages.

The circumstances may be different, but the need is often the same: a clear place to begin.

Who this guide is for

This guide is for you if you are:

  • buying your first home in Barbados

  • already looking seriously and want to understand what happens once you find the right property

  • returning to the island and thinking about putting down roots again

  • purchasing from overseas

  • buying with a spouse, partner or family member

You may be at the very beginning or already much further along. Either way, you don’t need to have every answer before you start.

Finding your place in Barbados

Buying a home is one of the biggest decisions most of us make.

You may be buying locally or from overseas. You may still be looking, or you may already have found the right property. As your plans become more concrete, so do the decisions around the purchase: what happens once an offer is made, how the property will be owned and what needs to happen before it can legally become yours?

There is no rush to have every answer. An initial conversation is often a good place to start.

A clearer place to begin

Not every question arises at once.

Some matter while you’re still looking. Others only become relevant once you have found a property or the legal process has begun.

Over the years, our office has written about many of the questions buyers ask along the way. Rather than leaving you to find each answer separately, we have brought those resources together in one place.

Our Resource Hub gives you an overview of the process and a way to find the information that is most relevant to where you are now.

Start wherever you are

You may have only started looking.

You may have found the property and be getting ready to make an offer.

Or perhaps your offer has already been accepted and the questions have become much more specific.

Wherever you are, this Resource Hub is here to help you get your bearings and understand what comes next.

And when the questions become specific to your property, your family or your plans, you are welcome to speak with us.
