Signing this contract is a momentous step, marking you as the future owner of your island paradise.

7. Complete Land Registry Registration:

Once registration is complete, you'll take possession of your new property. MyHvar can also assist with the seamless transfer of utilities, allowing you to quickly settle into the comfort of your island home.
