GT PARTNER CHISNALL, 2022 GUIDE TO REAL ESTATE IN THE BAHAMAS

Nassau, The Bahamas – In the recently published 2022 Chambers Global Practice Guide on Real Estate in The Bahamas, GrahamThompson Partner Alistair Chisnall outlines key trends and developments since 2021, highlighted by a major industry rebound in both domestic and international segments of the market.

Major Trends and Developments

“Many in the industry” he says “view the period from the last quarter of 2021 to the first quarter of 2022 as one of the greatest and most aggressive real estate markets that The Bahamas may ever see”. A perspective though widely held, Alistair cautions that it is a perspective that industry players hold with “a wary eye”, as some industry drivers he explained, have begun to show signs of cooling.

The Global Practice Guide is a comprehensive guide on the law and practice of Real Estate in The Bahamas. It provides key insights on the sector’s main market trends and deals, including a look at the impact of “Disruptive Technologies”. Alistair observed that market participants view disruptive technologies with a “guarded approach”.
