Can foreigners buy property in Cuba?
Yes. Since 21 October 2026, article 89.1 of Law 187 of 2026 allows sales between Cuban or foreign persons anywhere in Cuba, signed before a notary in the province where the home is. Persons subject to U.S. jurisdiction generally need OFAC authorisation. See the buyer guide.
How is a home in Cuba paid for?
Through a bank. Article 90.1 of Law 187 of 2026 requires the price to be paid by non-cash means (bank transfer or another banking instrument), whatever the amount, and the sale is signed before a notary. Never send deposits up front.
How do I verify a seller?
Ask for the title deed and a current Property Registry certificate: article 90.2 of Law 187 of 2026 requires the home to be registered, with taxes paid and no debts on the price. Check that the seller's name matches the title and that every co-owner signs. Full checklist.
