Questions buyers from abroad ask us

Yes. Foreign nationals can buy and fully own apartments and houses in Israel. Non-residents face different mortgage limits and purchase-tax brackets than residents, and new olim are eligible for reduced purchase-tax rates within a window around their aliyah date. We structure the purchase around your status and timeline.

For most purchases, yes, and for a mortgage, always. We help open the account, prepare the source-of-funds documentation Israeli banks require, and plan the transfers so nothing is delayed at closing.

Not necessarily. With a power of attorney, video viewings and our team on the ground, clients complete purchases entirely remotely. We recommend one visit for the final shortlist and will organise a viewing trip around it.

Usually yes. Israeli banks lend to non-residents, typically up to around 50% of the property value, based on foreign income and assets. Residents and new olim can often borrow more. Our advisor prepares the file so approval is fast and the terms are competitive.

Purchase tax (mas rechisha) on a sliding scale depending on your status and the price; attorney and registration fees; and, for new builds, VAT is included in the price and there may be index-linking on staged payments. We give you a full cost sheet before you commit to any property.

Search and shortlist, developer and off-market access, negotiation, the real-estate attorney (title, contract, registration), mortgage advisory, closing coordination, handover and property-management setup, all coordinated by one point of contact.

We explain exactly how we work and our terms on the free discovery call, before you commit to anything. There are no surprises later.

It can be very worthwhile, and it carries specific risks: delays, specification changes and financing gaps. Israeli law requires developers to secure your payments with a bank guarantee or equivalent. We verify the guarantee, the permit status and the developer's track record before you sign anything.

Typically 3 to 6 months for a ready apartment from discovery call to keys. Pre-construction follows the build schedule, with staged payments over 1 to 3 years.

Yes. Our after-purchase service covers rental management, maintenance, va'ad bayit and Arnona, with monthly reporting, until you're ready to move in.
