Buyer guide
Guide for international buyers
Legal basics
Non-residents enjoy broadly the same property rights as Israeli residents. Some leasehold land (moshav, kibbutz, nachala) carries additional approval steps, all manageable with a specialist Israeli real estate lawyer.
Tax considerations
Purchase tax brackets differ for non-residents. A short pre-transaction model with your Israeli lawyer or accountant avoids surprises and clarifies whether to buy personally or via a structure.
Currency and funds flow
Funds normally arrive through your lawyer's escrow. Building a relationship with a regulated FX provider months in advance can save several percent on a large transfer.
Remote viewings & due diligence
Tor Nadlan conducts video walk-throughs, drone passes, neighbourhood scouting and independent surveyor coordination so an offer can be made with full confidence from abroad.
Buyer representation
Working with a discreet buyer-side broker prevents over-paying, surfaces off-market opportunities and protects your time on the ground.
