Can foreign buyers purchase property in Morocco?

Yes. Foreign buyers can in most cases purchase houses, apartments and villas in Morocco. Restrictions apply to certain categories of agricultural land. The purchase must be properly recorded in legal terms through the contract, the notary and registration. That is why reviewing the file matters before you commit.

How the purchase process works

  • Orientation and selection: establishing goal, budget and preferred region, followed by a targeted selection of properties.
  • Viewing: on site or remotely by live video, with our assessment of condition, position and surroundings.
  • Offer and preliminary contract: the compromis de vente, usually with a deposit of around 10%.
  • File and due diligence: assessment of the titre foncier, land registry entry and any mortgages or attachments.
  • Notary and transfer: the final deed and registration in your name at the land registry.
The deposit

The deposit at the compromis de vente must be clearly recorded and follow a verifiable route. We advise agreeing payment terms only after the key documents have been reviewed. Set out the amount, the conditions and the payment route clearly.

What we analyse

Our role is to make the process clear and to support decisions with review, market information and local follow-up. For each property we map out:

  • Market value: the asking price alongside reference properties and local price levels.
  • Location and property: district, accessibility, condition of the building and rentability.
  • File: title of ownership, registration, contract terms and points of attention for transfer.
  • Seller or developer: authority to sell, track record and the arrangements made.
  • Return: for an investment, the difference between gross rental potential and net result.

Buying remotely

You do not need to travel repeatedly. With a notarial power of attorney we can complete the process through to the deed, while you make the key decisions yourself. We carry out viewings live by video and handle local follow-up on the ground.

This applies to international buyers and to owners living outside Morocco.
