National Colony Realty

A Blog About Turks and Caicos Real Estate by National Colony Realty

The Turks and Caicos is a paradise, that is why the purchase of real estate in the Turks and Caicos Islands, and Providenciales in particular is attracting world-wide attention. Three of the things that makes us a paradise for real estate purchasers is because of the islands’ tax haven status, the fact that there are no restrictions on the purchase and ownership of property by foreign investors, and of course the sheer natural beauty of the islands.

Take a sneak peek of some of National Colony Realty’s properties and what we have to offer in paradise.

Well, we are letting go of our “old” modern logo (that our boss who has been here since 1966 always thought looked like a house falling off a hill) for a ”new” older one that represents our rich history in the Turks and Caicos Islands.

We are having the office repainted, revamped, and hanging old sepia photos from Provo’s history which our company is proud to be part of.

We could never have pulled it off without the help of Jon and Gina from eyeSpice who helped with the entire concept, photos, business cards and colours….we can’t thank them enough!!!!!!

Stay tuned for our new old look next week.

Our resorts, hotels and villas offer you many styles, designs and combination of amenities that will make your stay in the Turks and Caicos Islands one to remember.

There is an extraordinary range of places to stay. The most convenient is the condominium/hotel, such as the Grace Bay Club, Seven Stars, Royal West Indies, Ocean Club and the likes which the majority are located on our famous Grace Bay beach.

For guest who crave a more private accommodation, there is the possibility of a five star resort and villas on a Private Island like the Parrot Cay Resort. Or you can opt for a private villa rental  on Providenciales which can range from a small studio cottage to a mansion. For the private villa rentals be sure to book at least six months in advance, because many of the prime villas get rented early.

After your holiday I am sure that you would want to have a second home or investment condo/property on island, so be sure to stop into National Colony Realty during your visit so that we can talk about your real estate needs or simply send us an email.

Richmond Hills Commons is a wonderful subdivision to reside in Providenciales. Amenities such as paved roads, street lights, street signs and underground services i.e. power, water and cable tv are to all of the lots. 

There is a yearly fee that comes with property ownership in this subdivision, the active involvement of all the members has already benefited with a substantial slush fund being invested for future improvement to help maintain a high standard in this development.  

There are elevated lots with splendid views of the North Shore starting at $105,000, as well as other affordable garden view lots ready for building.

Scotia Bank hosted a brokers and agents session on yesterday, at the Opus conference room to discuss some of the services that Scotia offers in terms of real estate to clients.

 

The session was informative as they were able to confirm a number of important information such as their current interest rates on loans and mortgages, investment opportunities for private banking clients, insurance policies details and benefits, merchant services and small business plan writer information for corporate clients and the likes.

 

As agents we also had the opportunity to discuss some of the hiccups that we have found when dealing with the banks, especially in the line of getting clients pre-qualified for a mortgage or loan, which is something that National Colony Realty has been strongly campaigning on for the past few months. Thankfully, the bank now has a liaison person who can work with agents to get through this process more smoothly and in a timely manner. Overall, I believe that it was a successful session and I applaud Scotia Bank for their efforts in reaching out to the real estate association to bridge the communication gaps in order to make our relationships with the banking community and our clients more favorable.

The ministry has today released the first inventory Crown Land maps, showing the percentage of crown land remaining on the islands of Providenciales and Grand Turk that can be used for possible future developments. Based on this map, it is found that the majority of land is now held by private ownership. Take a look at this website for the maps as well as other laws in relation to crown land and its allocation www.tcilandinfo.tc .

This means that there are more freehold land which opens up the market for investors to come in and purchase property with clean and clear title.
