House-Type Properties in Cebu Philippines That Can Be 100% Owned By Foreigners Through a Condominium Title

If some of the Filipino citizens want to go abroad for a greener pasture, and mostly to live that American dream as they call it; it is the other way around to many of our foreign friends. They think this tropical paradise is their greener pasture or their gold coast already. 

The vision of them enjoying the breeze in their own villa and drink Scotch or whiskey in their outdoor patio is irresistible. But because foreign ownership in the Philippines is limited only to condominiums, of which 98% are high-rise or building type; the dream of a lifetime privacy and relaxation is slowly drifting away.

If you're a foreign national who wants to settle in the Philippines or invest a house in the Philippines, you may be already aware of the limitations. 

One of the biggest drawbacks of  foreign real estate investors in the Philippines is the limitations of the Philippine law on foreign ownership. The Philippine Law does not allow a foreigner to acquire land in the Philippines. 

Certain exceptions do apply, but it requires a corporation or partnership of which 60% of the share must be from a Filipino citizen.

Or the easiest way for some is to have the name of the property under a Filipino/Filipina spouse.Not a lot of our foreign friends are married to a Filipino; or if they are, not all are comfortable to have their investment named to another person, not even to a spouse.

WE HAVE A SOLUTION!

A House-Type Condominium

There are only few developers in Cebu that offers house-type condominiums. 

The Condominium Act of the Philippines, R.A. 4726,  allows foreigners to acquire condominium units and shares in condominium corporations up to 40%.

Steps on How to Get Started in Your Real Estate and Home Investment

Most first time investors are clueless about how to get started in purchasing a home or property for a well-needed investment. They easily get drowned by just the mere idea of going through the initial processes in addition to them having to complete the list of requirements. 

Well, if you are like one of these first time investors, loosen up shall we? As long as you have found a very reliable Accredited Real Estate Salesperson or a broker, who can attend to your inquiries in a manner that works best for you, then everything else will be just as smooth and easy.


Steps on How to Get Started in Your Real Estate and Home Investment


Do you know what you want?

Some investors, may already have a property in mind; but some only have a budget, location and property specification. What I can just tell my clients, tell me what you need and let's find the best and unbiased options that we have within Cebu's wide real estate market. 

One of Cebu Homes and Lifestyle Living's mission is to help you lay out your options by our lists of houses, condominiums, townhouses and communities according to your needs, lifestyle preferences and budget.


If you already have a property in mind, or if we have broken down the list of properties that matches your needs, specification and budget; then we can now go ahead to the:

6 Main Steps Into Finally Getting Your Home and Real Estate Investment.


  1. Property Presentation - Relevant information about the property will be presented which includes property features, payment options, inventory, etc. More than one property can be presented depending on how many options, I, your accredited real estate salesperson has come up for you. To schedule an appointment for property presentation, please sign this form, or place your intention by call or text 0923-858-6890 / 0915-118-2605.
  2. Property Visit - To experience the place and vicinity; the look and feel; and any other information to appreciate, as well as gauge the property in terms of location, design, features and amenities. To book a property viewing, please sign this form.
  3. Reservation Application - The reservation application will be signed at the developer's office. The reservation application can be done right after the property visit; the following day or in your most convenient time. Reservation application comes with a reservation fee and initial requirements such as valid id's and/or proof of income.
  4. Marketing and Administrative Briefing - This is usually done at the same day just right after you have signed the reservation application. This includes the actual purchase process and necessary forms will be signed as well. This is also your time to raise final concerns and clarifications. 
  5. Submission of Requirements - After the briefing and acceptance of the duly filled forms, you are given usually 30 days (depending on the developer/property) to submit the necessary requirements. The property is held under your name. 
  6. Move-in/Turnover of Property -Inspection and acceptance in your part is necessary before a property will be ready for move-in. Some developer requires a move-in fee as specified during administrative briefing. (For Pag-ibig and Bank Financing, additional steps after Step 5 must be conducted)
