Presenting an offer
In the Cayman Islands, once you’ve selected a property and made an offer using a CIREBA offer-to-purchase document, it becomes a binding contract. The contract includes necessary steps such as securing bank financing or property inspection. The buyer risks their deposit unless they proceed as per the contract. The process is streamlined and efficient, thanks to a modern land registry system, and property transfers can be completed in just a few days without bank financing.
Closing the deal
The closing process starts when the purchase conditions are met. If chattels are included as part of the sale, a list of such items & their value will be provided by the vendor to the purchaser’s attorney so that the land transfer document can reflect this. The buyer’s attorney lodges an RL27 Application for Official Search to freeze the land register for 14 days. Following this, the closing itself is quick & straightforward, happening at the bank for financed purchases or an attorney’s office otherwise. Both parties sign the Transfer of Land Form RL1. Buyers should obtain multiple copies of the document for utility transfer and provide their contact details for strata notification in condo purchases.
