Who should own the property?

Getting this question of ownership wrong is probably both the most common and the most expensive mistake people make when buying property overseas. There are many people who could be made the legal owner of the property or, as the case may be, the shareholders in the company that owns the property. The best choice is, often, not obvious.
Getting this wrong can cost you tens of thousands of pounds/euro/dollars of totally unnecessary taxes, during your lifetime and on your death.Most local lawyers will be unable to help you make this decision as it involves an understanding of both the local AND your own legal, tax and inheritance systems.
We will be happy to assist you in making this vital decision

The Gambia: Emerging Property Investment Market

The Gambia is a 6 hour flight from London and has blossomed into a world class tourist resort over the last decade with five star holiday hotels, fine dining, fantastic beaches, water sports, sports fishing and many other quality holiday, sporting and leisure pursuits.
Due to sound and consistent macro economic polices, constitutional guarantees against expropriation of investments and for the protection of personal & business assets, the Gambia is fast becoming an emerging real estate market investment haven.
Property ownership is part of the Gambian constitution and the property conveyancing system is transparent and straightforward when done by professional lawyers. The Gambian government is totally committed to business development and free enterprise.
