Invest in Cape Verde Real Estate

Entry-level units in our current developments start from around €110,000–€140,000, depending on location and unit type — see Current Investment Opportunities above.

Local bank mortgages for non-resident foreign buyers in Cape Verde are limited and typically require a larger down payment than in Europe. Most international investors purchase through staged, milestone-based payments made directly to the developer — the same secure payment structure Oceânica uses (see "Purchase" step above).

Beyond the purchase price, budget for the property transfer tax (ITI, 1% of the property value as of 2026), notary and land registry fees (typically 1–2%), and the low annual property tax (IPI, 0.1% of assessed value).

Demand has been strong: Cape Verde welcomed a record 1.24 million visitors in 2025 (+6% year-on-year), and national hotel occupancy rose from 60% to 72% over the same period. Demand is strongest in Sal and Boa Vista, which receive the bulk of tourist arrivals; Praia's demand is driven more by long-term residents and business travelers.

Yes — we offer both virtual walkthroughs and in-person viewings, alongside independent legal verification of the property before you commit (see "Selection & Legal" in Your Investment Journey above).

Foreign owners can sell freely with no restrictions. Non-resident sellers are subject to a 3% capital gains tax on the profit from the sale (the difference between purchase and sale price). Oceânica provides exit strategy support, including help finding buyers and managing the resale process.
