Step by step

How buying in Tangier works

Search & viewings

We discuss your wishes, select properties and plan viewings – on site or by video.

Offer & preliminary contract

Once the price is agreed, you sign a preliminary sales agreement (compromis de vente) and pay a deposit.

Notary checks

The notary checks the title deed (titre foncier), charges and debts and prepares the deed.

Deed & keys

You sign the final deed at the notary, registration follows and you receive the keys.

Costs

How much does it cost to buy a property in Tangier?

On top of the purchase price, expect around 7 to 10% in additional costs:

Registration duties: 4% of the purchase price
Land registry (conservation foncière): around 1%
Notary: around 1 to 1.5%
Agency fees: depending on the agreement

For an apartment of MAD 1,500,000, that means roughly MAD 105,000 to 150,000 extra. Your notary will give you an exact calculation in advance. Read more in our article on the costs of real estate in Tangier.
