This guide explains how a purchase at Caves Branch River Estates works, following the sales team's current process. It is general information, not legal advice.
The purchase process
- Buyer makes an inquiry.
- The sales team communicates with the buyer and discusses the property.
- If the buyer wants to, they arrange a site visit.
- Buyer selects a lot.
- Buyer and seller sign an agreement and the property goes under contract.
- Buyer deposits the required funds into escrow.
- Due diligence period begins.
- Attorney / title-transfer work is completed during the due diligence/closing process.
- Closing proceeds according to normal Belize real-estate closing procedures.
- If applicable, the buyer uses the in-house owner-financing option.
Reservation and deposit
The current project reservation requirement is 10%. Where owner financing is used, the down payment is 10%. Prices are listed on each lot page.
Owner financing
10% down payment, 10% annual interest, terms up to 30 years, offered on all four lot types, in-house through the owner (no bank involved). Illustrative monthly payments assume 10% down, 10% annual interest, 30-year amortization, and no additional fees; the guide states these are illustrations only and the final payment is determined by the purchase agreement. The guide also states there is no prepayment penalty in the current project financing information.
Closing
Standard closing costs are typically approximately 1.5%-2% of the property value, in addition to applicable Belize stamp duty.
The sales team recommends Belize Caye Investments for closing, legal and escrow work. Using them is not required — the buyer chooses who handles their closing.
Foreign buyers
Foreign buyers are accepted — there are no project-specific restrictions preventing foreign buyers from purchasing, subject to the normal Belize real-estate closing and legal process.
Due diligence
Whatever the seller or sales team provides, buyers should independently confirm title status at the Belize Lands Registry, review survey and boundary documentation, and retain an independent, Belize-licensed attorney.
