The process
From first viewing to first guest
Selection
We present one property in twenty that we visit. The rest are set aside over title, structure or access.
Title and deeds
Nature of the title, heirs, rights of way, compliance. Nothing moves until the legal file is clean.
Building works
Architect, master craftsmen, a dated schedule. Structure, waterproofing and services first, traditional finishes after.
Furnishing
The riad is handed over furnished, equipped and photographed, ready to receive guests on day one.
Operation
Listing, classification, rental management if you want it. Or simply the keys, if the riad is for you.
What people ask us most
Can a foreigner buy a riad in Morocco?
Yes. Buying urban property, riads included, is open to foreign nationals without prior authorisation. Only agricultural land is restricted. The deed is signed before a notary or an adoul and registered with the land registry when the property holds a land title.
What do "melkia" and "land title" mean?
A land title is the definitive registration of the property, enforceable against all. A melkia is a traditional deed of ownership drawn up by adouls, still very common in the medina. A melkia property can be registered: each listing states the nature of the title and the estimated time to register it.
Is the price shown really all-inclusive?
Yes. It covers the purchase, fees and duties, land registration, building works and furniture. What remains on your side are the running costs once the riad is handed over: water, electricity, staff, tourist tax.
How long before the first guests arrive?
The delay appears on every listing under "months before operation". It depends mostly on the state of the building and the legal situation. An already renovated and registered riad restarts within months; a heavy rehabilitation takes longer.
Can I run it myself, or delegate?
Either. The riad is handed over furnished, equipped and photographed: you can list it yourself. If you would rather delegate, we hand management to a local operator and you receive a monthly operating statement.
Are the stated yields guaranteed?
No, and nobody can guarantee them. They are projections built on assumptions written in plain sight on each listing. The conservative scenario is meant to be held, the target scenario to be aimed at.
