Your guide to safe and secure real estate transactions in the Cayman Islands
Always verify the property owner's identity through official land registry records before making any payments or commitments.
Never rent or buy a property without seeing it in person. Be wary of deals that seem too good to be true.
Use official payment methods and avoid wire transfers to unknown accounts. Keep records of all transactions.
When choosing an agent, consider confirming their brokerage affiliation with the Cayman Islands Real Estate Brokers Association (CIREBA) or checking that their business is properly registered with the Cayman Islands Trade & Business Licensing authority.
Understand your legal rights and protections under Cayman Islands property law. Always consult with a qualified attorney for major transactions.
Keep emergency contact information handy including local police, your bank's fraud department, and the Real Estate Brokers Board.
Maintain detailed records of all communications, agreements, and financial transactions throughout your property search and purchase process.
