Foreign buyers in Barbados are predominantly British, American and Canadian, with some Russians and East Europeans.
The resilience of Barbados’ real estate market continues to attract buyers – especially compared to the other parts of the Caribbean which have experienced greater price fluctuations, according to Chesterton Barbados chairman Kieran Kelly.
"It´s a very stable place – economically and politically – it has a familiarity to it for British buyers, with low crime, good roads, hospitals and schools and excellent communication from US and Europe. It has a depth of culture which means buyers can winter there without going crazy," says Savills’ Caribbean director James Burdess.
"Possibly the most active market in the Caribbean, Barbados’ west coast offers more than ever before with new restaurants, hotels and the same fantastic beaches. Knight Frank has seen a marked increase. Buyers are seeing value, vendors are realistic and the market is rising again."
Our advice when selling a property from Barbados to international buyers is to :
Present your property well by using good quality photographs. When writing your description always include how close the property is to major transport links such roads, stations and Grantley Adams airport. Always consider who the buyer might be. Many overseas buyers buy property as a second home or investment. British buyers for example may simply want to own a home in Barbados as second home overseas. In this case think about what the property would provide as rental income when they are not there. Are there ways to manage the property that are affordable and reliable?
Never over price to test the response from the Barbados housing market! This is one of the biggest mistakes owners make when the sell a property online. Buyers will always compare one property against another and the internet makes this easy to do. Always invite people to make an enquiry so they can learn more about the property for sale. Finally, consider taking a video of the property to show potential buyers so they can see fully the property.

One of our top tips to people selling and buying a property to people from another country is to research currency exchange methods. Property transactions are all vulnerable to foreign currency exchange rates and small fluctuation can mean huge losses. To negate this risk when transferring money abroad its always wise to take the advice of a foreign currency specialist who can book rates, provide lowers fees and better rates than many banks. Unless you are buying directly from a developer, before the purchase can go ahead you'll almost certainly need to open a bank account in the destination country. The aim is to ensure that you get the best exchange rates and that the funds are in the right place when they are needed. More advice at our Currency Zone
