Your questions

Once the price is agreed, buyer and seller sign a promise of sale, usually at the notary’s office, with a deposit often close to 10% of the price. The notary checks the property’s legal standing; the final deed is then signed there and recorded at the land registry, the Conservation foncière, which enters your name on the title. We stay at your side at every step.

Allow 6 to 7% of the price in most cases: registration duty (4% for a home), registration at the land registry (1.5%), the notary’s fees and a few fixed charges. Duty on land is slightly higher. Agency fees are not included in that figure, and your notary gives you the exact statement before signing.

It is the property’s registration at the land registry: a unique number, surveyed boundaries and the owner’s name, on a final title that can no longer be challenged. A titled property sells and is financed in full security. Some properties are still held only under traditional deeds, known as melkia: buying one calls for more checks, and having it registered is the wiser course.

Between the promise of sale and the final deed, allow one to three months in most cases, the time for the notary’s checks and, where there is one, the mortgage. A cash purchase of a titled property with a complete file can move faster.

Yes. Moroccan banks lend to residents and non-residents alike, on their own terms for the deposit, the length and the guarantees. An agreement in principle obtained before the promise of sale makes your offer stronger.

Off-plan sales are governed by Moroccan law: a preliminary contract sets the price, the floor area and the delivery date, and payments follow the progress of the works. Before signing, check the building permit, the developer’s past work and the guarantee covering your payments.

Yes. A foreign buyer can purchase an apartment, a villa or building land in town on the same terms as a Moroccan buyer; only agricultural land follows specific rules. Nothing about the process changes: the same promise of sale, the same notary, the same land registry.

Yes. We arrange viewings remotely, by video, and you can sign by power of attorney: drawn up before a notary in Morocco or at a Moroccan consulate, or certified abroad and then apostilled. Your representative then signs on your behalf at the notary’s office.

The funds are wired in foreign currency to a Moroccan bank, then paid to the notary, who by law holds them with the Caisse de dépôt et de gestion until the signature, before paying the seller. Going through a Moroccan bank is also what preserves your right to take the price back out later.

Yes, if the purchase was paid in foreign currency transferred through a Moroccan bank. The property then falls under the convertibility regime: on resale, the price and the gain can leave Morocco once taxes are settled. Keep the transfer records your bank gives you safe.

Not on its own. Citizens of many countries, including those of the European Union, the United Kingdom and the United States, can stay up to three months without a visa. Beyond that, a residence card is applied for separately.

We visit it, then compare it with recent sales in its neighbourhood, weighing what makes it rare: the view, the land, the light, its condition and its finishes. You receive a reasoned, confidential valuation, which becomes the basis for the asking price.

Yes. An off-market sale presents the home privately to buyers we have qualified, with no public listing and no photographs online. Owners who value their privacy often choose it, and the home can appear on the site later if you wish.

The certificate of ownership from the land registry, your identity document, proof that local taxes are paid (the housing tax and the municipal services tax) and, for an apartment, a certificate from the building’s managing agent. Plans and the certificate of occupancy make the sale easier, and the notary will tell you if anything is missing.

The tax on property gains: as a rule 20% of the gain, with a minimum of 3% of the sale price. A main residence may be exempt under certain conditions. Your notary works out the exact amount before signing.

Above all, it depends on the price. A home valued accurately and presented with care usually finds its buyer within a few months; an over-ambitious price is what delays a sale most. Once the buyer is found, allow one to three months until the deed.

Yes. Upkeep, letting and concierge services: your home is kept as if you were there. Each arrangement is defined with you, from simple oversight to full management.

Yes. We find the tenant, check their file, prepare the lease and the inventory, then follow the tenancy if you entrust it to us. Our rentals are by the month, furnished or unfurnished.

For a home kept for your own use, the housing tax and the municipal services tax, both based on its rental value, plus service charges for an apartment. A let property does not pay the housing tax, but its rents are taxed as property income.

Yes. Income from a property in Morocco is taxable there, whether or not its owner lives in the country. Depending on where you live, a tax treaty may prevent double taxation, and a tax adviser will tell you how to declare it.

Moroccan exchange rules govern such a purchase: for a resident, it generally requires the approval of the Office des Changes. A Moroccan living abroad buys with the funds held there. It is a point to settle with your bank before the search begins.

In Casablanca, where the house was born. Most of our homes are in Morocco, in Casablanca, Rabat and Tangier, and we also accompany clients in a few great cities abroad: all of them are on the Destinations page.

Write to us on WhatsApp or call us: the city, the kind of home, the budget and the timing are enough to begin. We come back to you with a first selection, including homes that are not on the site.

Yes. Your name, your project and your budget stay between us; they are shared only with those the transaction requires, such as the notary. Viewings are private, by appointment.

Because the finest homes often change hands without a listing, and a transaction at this level calls for checks, negotiation and discretion best left to people who know the ground. We know the homes, the owners and the neighbourhoods, and spare you pointless viewings.
