Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to buy property in Mauritius on top of the purchase price?
Expect additional costs of approximately 7–10% of the purchase price. This includes 5% registration duty, ~1% notary fees, ~2% estate agent commission (if applicable), and a small EDB processing fee for approved scheme purchases. Use the calculator above for a precise estimate.
What is a good rental yield in Mauritius?
Gross rental yields typically range from 4% to 9% depending on location and rental model. Short-let holiday rentals in high-demand areas like Grand Baie can achieve 6–9% gross. Long-term furnished rentals typically yield 4–6%. Net yields after management fees, maintenance, and vacancy are usually 2.5–5%.
Is there stamp duty when buying property in Mauritius?
Mauritius charges a registration duty (equivalent to stamp duty) of 5% on most residential property transactions. This is payable by the buyer and collected by the notary at completion. Some PDS and Smart City transactions may qualify for reduced rates — your notary will confirm the exact figure.
Do I need a notary to buy property in Mauritius?
Yes. All property transactions in Mauritius must be processed by a licensed notary (notaire). Unlike the UK or South Africa where solicitors handle conveyancing, in Mauritius the notary is the sole legal professional who can register a deed of sale. Notary fees are approximately 1% of the purchase price.
