Real Estate in Namibia
Last updated on May 21, 2023
Summary: An expat looking to buy a home in Namibia should start by researching the different areas of the country and the types of properties available. They should also consider their budget and the type of amenities they are looking for. Popular areas for expats include Windhoek, Swakopmund, and Walvis Bay. Homes in Namibia typically include amenities such as air conditioning, swimming pools, and outdoor spaces. Many homes also have modern kitchens and bathrooms, as well as security features such as alarm systems and CCTV. Foreigners are allowed to own property in Namibia, but there are some restrictions. Non-citizens are not allowed to own land, but they can own buildings and other structures on the land. They must also obtain permission from the Ministry of Lands and Resettlement before they can purchase a property.
How do I find a place to live in Namibia?
We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:
"One of the best ways to find a place to live in Namibia is to search online for rental listings. Websites such as Namibia Property, Namibia Rental, and Namibia Real Estate are great resources for finding rental properties in Namibia. Additionally, you can also search for rental listings on classifieds websites such as Namibian Classifieds and Namibia Classifieds. Additionally, you can also contact local real estate agents in Namibia to help you find a place to live," explained one expat living in Namibia.
