News Americas, NEW YORK, NY, Tues. Mar. 15, 2016: With Caribbean real estate in demand across the Caribbean, News Americas Now decided to look at the number of days involved in registering property across the region. Here are the top 10 countries where you can register and obtain a title in less than 8 days according to the World Bank’s Doing Business 2015 report:
1: Dominica – 5 Days
2: Haiti – 5 Days
3: Dominican Republic – 6 Days
4: Guyana – 6 Days
5: Barbados – 6 Days
6: St. Kitts – 6 Days
7: Suriname – 6 Days
8: The Bahamas – 7 Days
9: Antigua & Barbuda – 7 Days
10: St. Vincent & The Grenadines – 7 Days
The days listed does not include time spent gathering information. The measure of days captures the median duration that property lawyers, notaries or registry officials indicate is necessary to complete a procedure. It is assumed that the minimum time required for each procedure is one day, except for procedures that can be fully completed online, for which the time required is recorded as half a day.
