Foreigners are allowed to own property however they are not entitled to own land. Therefore most foreigners purchase apartments that come with an ownership certificate. There are no real estate taxes per say however there is a sales tax of 2% when a property is sold. We cover all of the necessary paperwork including the legal services.

Mongolia is quickly becoming their future source of resources for the growing Chinese economy. This has brought in many mining companies almost all of which are increasing their number of foreign personnel. At the moment there are not enough apartments to house them in and therefore the rental yields in Mongolia are about 15-17% per annum.
