Remote purchase

Buying in Poleg and Ramat Poleg without being in Israel

A settled family market. If you are buying a house rather than an apartment, budget for proper legal and surveying work.

  1. See it properly before you fly

    Filmed neighbourhood files, uncut drives and walkthroughs do the work a viewing trip cannot: they show you the street at 8am, the walk to the shul, the building site next door and what the block actually backs onto.

  2. Get the tax position straight first

    What you pay in purchase tax depends on whether you buy as an oleh, as a resident, or as a non-resident — and on Poleg and Ramat Poleg prices the difference runs to serious money. Settle it before you make an offer, not after.

  3. Sort the mortgage from abroad early

    Non-resident lending rules, loan-to-value limits and the paperwork Israeli banks want from foreign income all take longer than buyers expect. Start it in parallel with the search, not after you sign.

  4. Understand what a power of attorney does and doesn't cover

    You can complete a purchase in Israel without being in the country, but the scope of the authority you grant, and how it is executed and notarised where you live, is something to get right in advance.

  5. Plan for owning it from where you live

    Rental income, the tax track you elect, arnona, house committee, and who holds the keys when a tenant calls at 2am — the purchase is the short part; owning from abroad is the long part.
