New Development
In addition to the vast choice of older homes offered for sale by JLSK, long-standing partnerships with well-known national and international developers enable us to provide you with access to new projects, while ensuring a lasting local service.
At JLSK Group, we not only have extensive knowledge of the market, but we also have access to many new and confidential real estate projects under development.
Most importantly, we are keenly aware of the nuances that determine property value and are discerning about the quality of construction, materials and craftsmanship. We listen to your needs to find you the ideal new home project and ensure that you make an informed decision.
Once you have chosen the best new property project for you, we will represent your interests vehemently to the relevant developer and accompany you through the whole process of acquisition and all the administrative formalities concerning your residence permit, visa or company creation.
Our financial conditions are identical to those of the direct developer, which means that we sell the properties linked to the different real estate projects at the same price.
We will also advise you on the decoration and the choice of the “deco packs” proposed by the developer.
Please contact us to arrange an appointment.

FINALISE
To finalise the purchase of a property buying off-plan, it is important to have all the elements in hand, and to know all the stages of the purchase (pre-contract, deposit, suspensive conditions, notary, etc.) and, of course, to obtain permission for a foreigner to purchase from the competent authorities.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions
What is buying off-plan ?
According to the law, off-plan buying is the contract by which a seller transfers to the buyer his rights to the land at once as well as the ownership of the existing structures.
Future works become the property of the buyer as they are carried out ; the buyer is bound to pay the relevant costs as work progresses. The seller undertakes to deliver the residential project to the buyer once completed.
Why invest in Mauritius ?
Mauritius offers a low tax jurisdiction with an investor-friendly environment to encourage both local and foreign companies to set up a business.
The Fiscal regime includes:
- Harmonised corporate and income taxes at 15%
- No capital gains tax
- No withholding tax on interest and dividends
- Exemption from customs duty on equipment
- Free repatriation of profits, dividends and capital
The Mauritius Revenue Authority is the agency responsible for collecting corporate tax, income tax and VAT in Mauritius. The fiscal year runs from 1st January to 31st December. Payment should be done either at the Mauritius Revenue Authority counters, via electronic payment or by sending a cheque drawn to the MRA by post.
The tax rate is as follows:
- Corporate tax: 15%
- Income tax (personal tax): 15%
- Value-Added Tax (VAT): 15%
- Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR tax): 2% on book profits
- Land Transfer tax: 5%
What is the difference between a Permanent Residence Permit (PRP) and Citizenship ?
A PRP is a permit that allows an eligible non-citizen to live in Mauritius for a period of 20 years, following which the permit must be renewed.
Obtaining citizenship, on the other hand, means that the investor becomes a citizen of the country and is entitled to carry a Mauritian passport.
Note that a Residence Permit does not automatically lead to Mauritian citizenship, which means that even if the holder has the right to live in Mauritius, he or she is not allowed to own other real estate properties across the country outside the Integrated Resort Scheme (IRS), Real Estate Scheme (RES) and Property Development Scheme (PDS) frameworks, or an apartment in a “ground + two” building, or industrial/commercial property. All purchases must be authorised by the Economic Development Board (EDB).
By purchasing a unit off-plan, how is my purchase secured ?
The acquisition of a unit off-plan or during construction of the project is governed by the provisions of a ‘vente en l’etat future d’achevement’ (‘VEFA’), in accordance with the Mauritian Civil Code.
The Promoter provides the Purchaser with a guarantee of future completion, Garantie Future d’Achévement (‘GFA’).
The GFA will be issued by a bank and is a guarantee that the unit you have purchased will be completed and delivered to you in accordance with the project specifications and drawings. The GFA is issued to you simultaneously with your signature of the Deed of Sale.
What type of investment scheme allows foreigners to buy a property in Mauritius?
Several investment schemes have been put in place by the Mauritian authorities to encourage foreigners to invest and buy real estate in Mauritius.
These schemes are the following:
- IRS: Integrated Resort Scheme
- RES: Real Estate Scheme
- IHS: Investment Hotel Scheme
- PDS: Property Development Scheme
- Ground +2: A building with a minimum of 2 floors in co-ownership.
- Smart City: Intelligent City
