The transaction must go through a licensed Moroccan notary, and funds must be transferred via official banking channels (SWIFT transfer). Once complete, the owner can repatriate proceeds from a future sale subject to proof of original import of funds.
A titled riad (Titre Foncier / Immatriculé) is registered in Morocco's national land registry (Conservation Foncière), providing unambiguous, guaranteed ownership. A Melkia property is documented through traditional notarial deeds but is not registered. Titled properties are simpler to transfer and can be mortgaged; Melkia properties require additional due diligence and legal support.
Buyers should budget approximately 7–9% on top of the purchase price: registration tax (3%), notary fees (1–1.5%), legal and conservation fees (1.5–2%), and agency commission if applicable.
From accepted offer to final deed (Acte de Vente), the process typically takes 30–90 days. Foreign buyers can complete remotely using a notarised power of attorney.
