Buying a home in the British Virgin Islands
July 3rd, 2007
Today we have our first guest writer here on mytropicalescape.com and they will be providing the finer details on the procedure associated with purchasing a home or property in the BVI (if you are not a citizen). These folks have purchased a home within the past couple of years so they are very well versed on the whole process.
Why Didn’t You Buy In The BVI? - part 2

In continuing with the post, “why didn’t we buy in the BVI” I will finish off the story with a comparative look at the cost (note: just the property itself, I did not include the taxes or other costs) of purchasing a home or property in the British Virgin Islands. In fairness to the BVI, I decided to evaluate housing and land prices for three of the places Terrie and I had considered making our permanent home, which are the BVI, Nicaragua, and Culebra. Additionally, for those looking to maybe purchase in one of these three places I thought it would give folks a ballpark idea of what the prices are like.
Where the heck is Culebra?

The email that I sent yesterday to let everyone know we are moving to Culebra to run the Palmetto Guesthouse produced quite a few responses that all asked the same question - Where the Heck is Culebra? It was such a common theme that I thought I would give the answer in a quick post, which will supersede part 2 of “Why we didn’t buy in the BVI?”
Why Didn’t You Buy In The BVI?

This morning I was asked by a colleague, “if you and Terrie have been in living in the British Virgin Islands (BVI) for four years why didn’t you just buy something here?” and the question made me think that other people might have the same inquiry. Honestly, I would have to say there were roughly three or four major issues and a multitude of other seemingly inconsequential reasons but when they’re compounded together also factored into our decision to buy elsewhere. Today we will focus on cost.
