Guide for Moroccans of the World (MRE): How to buy your property in Morocco while abroad with safe steps
The dream of owning a home in the motherland haunts most Moroccans around the world (MRE). Whether the goal is to spend the summer vacation with the family, prepare for retirement, or simply create an investment that generates continuous income, the Moroccan real estate market today offers irreplaceable opportunities.
But, how can the purchase be completed safely when you live thousands of kilometers away? Here's a handy guide to simplify the process.
1. Search and virtual inspection of the property
You no longer need to wait for the summer holidays to search for a property. Modern real estate platforms provide you with everything you need to search remotely.
Photos and Details: Look for offers that provide high-quality photos and precise details about the space, location, and amenities.
Digital Communication: You can contact agents or owners directly via phone or messaging apps to request additional videos or arrange an audio and video “Virtual Tour.”
2. Financing and bank facilities for (MRE)
Moroccan banks provide financing offers specifically designed for Moroccans residing abroad, which are characterized by great flexibility:
Accounts in convertible dirhams: They allow you to easily transfer money from your country of residence and withdraw or transfer it again in the future under simplified conditions.
Loans at preferential interest rates: You can finance up to 80% or 100% of the property value depending on the bank, with the possibility of completing most administrative procedures through branches of Moroccan banks in Europe or via the Internet.
3. Completing the sale remotely (agency system)
If you cannot be present in person to sign the final sales contract, Moroccan law allows you to complete the deal through “Procuration”.
You can issue a special power of attorney for a person you trust in Morocco (a family member or the notary himself).
The agency is authenticated at the Moroccan consulate in your country of residence, so that the agent can sign the “Promise to Sell” (Compromis de Vente) contract and the final contract on your behalf legally and officially.
4. Money transfer and accompanying expenses
When transferring the purchase amount from abroad, it is always recommended to pass it through official banking channels directly to the notaire’s account. This procedure fully guarantees your rights and documents the source of funds, making it easier for you to make any future investment or transfer operations. Do not forget to include registration and preservation expenses in your budget (which often range between 6% and 8% of the property value).
