The Person Behind This Site
I am Anis Chity, and I live in Marrakech.
I have personally bought four properties in Morocco, so the process here is not theory for me.
I built Buy Property Morocco because foreign buyers usually find information written by people selling something, and very little written from the buyer side.
In one of my own purchases the asking price started around 85,000 euros, moved to about 75,000 euros, and I finally agreed at 70,000 euros. That taught me the first price is rarely the real price.
I also paid a guarantee deposit of around 1,000 euros while the seller was still in America. It worked out, but I would not treat a deposit that casually today, and I tell buyers to tie any deposit to clear documents and preferably to the notary.
The same purchase came with a shop that was already rented. The tenant refused to redo the lease and I assumed the worst, until his lawyer explained the existing contract stays as it is until the property is registered in the new owner name. He was right, and I learned to read the lease before assuming anything about a tenanted property.
At the notary I paid several separate costs rather than one simple fee, which is why I keep telling buyers to budget beyond the agreed price.
My first purchase went well, but looking back I leaned heavily on trust. That is exactly why this site exists, and why the free call starts with your situation rather than a property.
Four properties bought in Morocco
Direct experience of negotiation, deposits, tenants, notary steps and costs.
Based in Marrakech
A local view of how the market behaves, not how brochures describe it.
Focused on foreign buyer risk
What can go wrong, what to verify and when to stop before money moves.
Plain English guides
Title, notary steps, taxes, deposits and money transfer explained without jargon.
What Buyers Ask For
Support for Every Stage of the Buying Process
Different buyers need different things. The free call shows which of these applies to you.
Purchase planning and location clarity
Match your budget, goal and timeframe to areas that realistically fit.
Property search coordination
Turn a vague search into a defined brief, so viewings are worth your time.
Property and developer red-flag research
The questions worth raising before a project or seller earns your trust.
On-the-ground checks and due-diligence coordination
Practical checks when you cannot be here yourself. Formal work stays with qualified professionals, in the right order.
Mortgage, banking and specialist introductions
Where financing, a convertible dirham account, a notary, lawyer or surveyor may be needed.
Post-purchase and property-management introductions
What comes after signing, from registration follow-up to letting and upkeep.
Not every option is free or applies to every buyer. Legal, tax, title, valuation and technical work always sits with the appropriate qualified professional, never with me.
Where It Goes Wrong
The Expensive Mistakes Usually Happen Before the Notary Appointment
Most foreign buyers do not get into trouble because they are careless. They get into trouble because nobody explains what to check before money moves.
Paying a deposit before sufficient checks
Deposits are often handed over early and informally, and they can be difficult to recover.
Signing a compromis de vente you do not fully understand
The preliminary contract sets the terms, and your room to renegotiate shrinks once it is signed.
Depending only on the seller's agent
Many agents act for the seller, so their explanation is a sales position rather than verification.
Failing to understand the title status
A property can look settled and still carry shared, unregistered or disputed ownership.
Sending money without planning the banking trail
How funds enter Morocco can affect what you are able to take out later.
Trusting unrealistic price, rental or Airbnb projections
Projected returns are often optimistic, and real occupancy, costs and short-let rules rarely appear in the pitch.
None of this means Morocco is a difficult place to buy. It means the order of steps matters, and a short conversation before you commit is worth more than a long one afterwards.
Bring your budget, preferred area and biggest concern. That is enough to start.

Before You Book
What Happens on the Free 15-Minute Buyer Call
A short, practical conversation about your situation, with no presentation and no property pitch.
What you leave with
- A realistic view of what your budget buys in the areas you want
- The checks that matter most for your property type and goal
- The right order to work in, so nothing is paid before it is verified
- One clear next step, whether that is a guide, a professional or more research
What it is not
- Legal, tax or valuation advice, which belongs with a qualified professional
- A property listing service
- A full due-diligence review of one specific property
- A pressured sales call, since paid help is only raised when it fits
Bring whatever you already have. A city, a rough budget and a timeframe are enough.
Buyer-side guidance based on personal buying experience. Not legal, tax, inspection or valuation advice.
City Focus
Buying in Marrakech? Start Here First
Marrakech is where I live and where I have bought, so this is the city I can speak about in the most detail.
It also carries risks specific to medina titles, riad ownership structures, renovation budgets and short-let rules, so read the city guides first.
Common Marrakech Buyer Questions
- Is the medina property registered, or held under melkia
- Does the seller have sole authority to sign
- Is the deposit arrangement written down
- Who is paying the agent, and is it disclosed
- Does the renovation estimate reflect real local costs
- What are the current short-let requirements
- How far is the price from comparable local sales

Questions Buyers Ask Before Booking
Straight answers about what this is and how it works.
Is the buyer call really free?
Yes. It is a focused 15-minute planning call to understand your situation and recommend the most appropriate next step, with no charge and no obligation.
What happens after the call?
You may receive a recommended guide, a next-step plan, an introduction to an appropriate professional, or information about relevant paid assistance. You are free to act on none of them.
Does Buy Property Morocco sell properties?
No. This is a buyer-side resource rather than a listing portal or an estate agency, though it can help you structure your search and introduce you to property professionals.
Can you perform legal due diligence?
No. Legal, tax, title and contract work belongs with a qualified Moroccan professional, and this site only helps you understand which questions to ask and in which order. Confirm your own position with a notary, lawyer, ANCFCC, the DGI or the Office des Changes.
How does Buy Property Morocco make money?
Deeper buyer support beyond the free call may carry a fee, and a referral fee may be received from a professional contact. Any commercial relationship relevant to a recommendation should be disclosed to you before you act on it.
Can foreigners buy property in Morocco?
Foreign nationals can buy most types of property in Morocco, with agricultural land the well known restriction. The practical work is verifying the title, using a notary and planning how money enters the country, so confirm your position with a notary or lawyer before committing.

Fifteen minutes now can save months of guessing, and it costs nothing.
No obligation. Start with your budget, preferred location, timeframe and biggest concern.
