Buying property in Vanuatu
What the numbers say, from 870 listings read off 11 agents' own websites and our own nightly tracking. This page reports data. It is not legal or tax advice, and the rules on who may buy here are the island's to state — the official links at the foot are the source for those.

The market you are buying in
Listings here are advertised as Leasehold or Local Market or Freehold. Which one you may buy is a matter for the island's own rules, not for us — see the official links below.
Before you commit
- Compare the asking price with the rest of the parish — every area, side by side.
- If more than one agent is marketing it, they may not agree on the price or the bedroom count. We show both where that happens.
Anything on this page that looks like a rule rather than a number is a link to the body that sets it. We publish what we can evidence.
