FAQ

What every investor asks before buying

Can foreigners buy property in Brazil?

Yes. Any foreigner can buy urban property in Brazil in their own name: all you need is a CPF (the Brazilian tax number, which can be issued from abroad) and a valid passport. Melachim guides you through the whole process in English, French or Portuguese — from the CPF to registration at the notary.

What does “owner-direct, no brokerage” mean?

The properties listed here belong to Melachim Imóveis Ltda itself. You negotiate directly with the owner — no intermediaries and no brokerage commission. Pricing is cleaner and decisions are faster.

What costs apply on top of the purchase price?

Typically: ITBI (municipal transfer tax, usually 2–3%), notary and land-registry fees (around 1–2%), plus your own legal counsel if you wish. We send a complete estimate of the total cost before you commit to anything.

How does pre-reservation of a project work?

You secure the unit with a reservation payment under a contract that clearly defines conditions, timeline and refund rules. The balance follows construction progress until the keys are handed over.

Can I buy without being in Brazil?

Yes. With a power of attorney and funds sent through the official exchange channel, the entire operation can be completed remotely: video visits, signature by proxy, and registration in your name or in your holding structure.

Where are the properties available today?

The current portfolio is on the Maraú Peninsula, in Bahia — Saquaira Beach, Cassange Lagoon and Algodões — one of the best-preserved coastlines in Brazil. Melachim is headquartered in Rio de Janeiro, where new assets are under review.
