Dominica is one of the most beautiful islands in the Caribbean and is ideal for retirement. Dominica is located halfway down the chain of Caribbean Islands, with Guadeloupe to the north and Martinique to the south.

How does Dominica differ from other Caribbean Islands?

Well unlike islands such as Antigua and Barbados, Dominica is very mountainous and has retained its primordial rainforest in the interior. It has an abundance of rivers and waterfalls.

Although tourism is growing in Dominica, agriculture remains an important industry and produce is exported to its Caribbean neighbours hence Dominica is known as "The Bread Basket of the Caribbean."

The price of property, as one might expect varies tremendously across the region with Barbados being one of the more expensive countries to purchase property. Dominica is attractive as an investment because property prices are still very reasonable. The west coast of Dominica tends to be more expensive than the less developed East coast.

 

What are the legal requirements for buying property in the Caribbean?

Every island is different and it is important to take proper advice before investing your money. In Dominica you do not need to be a resident to purchase property.

You can purchase one acre for residential purposes and three acres for business purposes without the need for an Alien Land Holding Licence. At the present time however Government still requires you to pay an additional 10% in Alien Land Holding Licence Fees although the legislation needs to be clarified.
