Yes, as a general rule a foreign citizen can buy property in Cape Verde. Before committing, the legal, cadastral and tax status of the specific property should be checked and professional assistance should be obtained for the deed.

A valid identity document or passport and a Cape Verdean tax number (NIF) are normally required. Foreign citizens can also request an individual NIF. The final document list depends on the property, the seller and any financing.

Checks should cover the seller’s title, cadastral entry and land registry, identification of the unit, mortgages or other encumbrances, tax compliance and condominium status. The land registry is the record that protects ownership rights against third parties.

After agreement and due diligence, the documents and amounts due are prepared. The deed is signed and the sale is then confirmed by the registrar, with the registry and Property Identification Code updated. The exact process is defined for each transaction.

Yes, where the transaction allows it, a representative may act under a special power of attorney. The power of attorney must comply with the required formalities, for example through a notary or a Cape Verdean diplomatic or consular office.

Allow for transaction taxes, registration and notarial fees, and any professional assistance. For completed apartments offered by SGC, notarial and deed-assistance costs are indicatively €1,000–1,500. Condominium fees normally range from about €100 to €400 per year; for Torre delle Stelle they are estimated at €200–400 per year. All figures must be confirmed before purchase.

Torre delle Stelle is under construction, with expected completion in July 2027. The listed prices include a finished apartment with flooring and a fully fitted bathroom, but no furniture. The completed apartments shown on the website are sold furnished, and some are already used as holiday rentals.

Yes. SGC already manages the Corallo, Blue Marlin, Zodiaco and Rosa dei Venti condominiums and can assist owners with management and holiday rentals. Returns and occupancy are not guaranteed; where available, they can be assessed using historical data and the unit’s characteristics.

No. Property ownership and residence authorisation are separate procedures. Cape Verde has specific investment-residence routes with their own thresholds and requirements, which must be checked against the buyer’s circumstances before relying on them.
