What to Know When Buying or Selling in Antigua
Antigua’s real estate market attracts global buyers seeking luxury, stability, and a true Caribbean lifestyle. Whether you're purchasing your dream villa or selling a high-end estate, understanding the island’s property procedures ensures a smooth and secure transaction.

Most foreign buyers must obtain an Alien Landholding License, typically equal to 5% of the purchase price.
- Approval times average 3–6 months.

(Note: Buyers in approved developments or Citizenship-by-Investment projects often have simplified processes.)

Consider Rental & Investment Potential
Antigua is a strong short-term rental market thanks to:
