It can take as little as three to four weeks to complete a house purchase once you’ve found the place you want. Once a bid is formally accepted, last minute offers can’t be considered, which makes buying here a lot less stressful than it is in some parts of the world.

If you choose to buy a section (a block of land) there are a number of options for building a home tailor-made for your needs.

Houses can be standalone buildings on a block of land that you purchase with the building. However there are other types of land ownership, so it is important to understand what you are buying.
