FAQ

What every investor asks before buying

Can foreigners buy property in Brazil?

Yes, as a general rule. Foreigners can buy urban property in Brazil in their own name with a CPF (the Brazilian tax number, which can be issued from abroad) and a valid passport. In the sales of Melachim's own properties, we assist the foreign buyer with the administrative steps, in English, French or Portuguese.

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

Melachim only lists properties owned by Melachim Imóveis Ltda itself or projects developed directly by the company. You negotiate directly with the owner, with no intermediation and no brokerage commission. The company does not carry out real-estate brokerage or intermediation for third parties.

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.

Which properties does Melachim sell?

Only properties owned by Melachim itself or projects developed directly by the company. New properties to be acquired by Melachim are under review in Rio de Janeiro and Bahia. Leave your contact on WhatsApp to be told when a company-owned property goes on sale.
