Best Cities and Areas to Buy Real Estate in Manila
Metro Manila is huge and consists of not only districts and areas but cities. It’s important to do thorough research, before you buy, to assure that you invest in an area with high growth potentials (if that’s your preference).
The most interesting places, in my view, are listed below.
Buying condos in Makati
Around half a million people live in Makati and it’s well-known for being the financial center in Manila.
Dozens of big multinational foreign companies have set up offices in this area, making it a prime spot for expats. The traffic is notoriously bad in Manila, making Makati the best option.
You’ll find the tallest scrapers in Makati, consisting of both office spaces and residential units.
Prices have grown the most in Makati over the years, and by more than 10% in 2017 alone.
Property is more expensive here compared to other areas in the city, with many luxury condominiums and gated communities.
Buying condos in Quezon City
Quezon City has around three million people and is the biggest city in terms of land area.
It was previously the capital of the Philippines (from 1948 – 1976 to be precise) and hosts many of the best schools and universities.
The city is predicted to grow much over the years, as it’s less developed compared to places like Makati. You’ll find a number of new projects popping up and there’s much investment in infrastructure.
Buying condos in Taguig / Bonifacio Global City (BGC)
Taguig has developed rapidly during the past years and hosts one of the most interesting areas in Manila, namely Fort Bonifacio Global City.
As real estate prices have increased in places like Makati, investors have started to look for areas within a short distance, like Taguig.
Fort Bonifacio Global City experienced less commercial activity in the past, when it was under use by the army, but has become a new business hub.
Buying condos in Pasig City
Pasig City hosts many expats and foreigners and is a middle and upper-class area.
Still, you can see many international companies, hotels, shopping malls, restaurants, and more here.
FAQ
Below you can find frequently asked questions from property buyers, including our replies.
Can foreigners buy property in the Philippines?
Foreigners can buy 40% of the units in condominium projects in the Philippines. Foreign individuals cannot buy land. There are ways to indirectly own land, through local contractual setups, even if the process is more complicated.
Do I need to live in the Philippines if I own property there?
No, you don’t need to live in the Philippines just because you own property there.
How high are the yields in the Philippines?
Philippines has some of the highest yields in Southeast Asia, especially if you buy in strategic areas around Manila.
Can foreigners lease land in the Philippines?
You cannot own land as a foreigner. A more common practice is to lease land with a leasehold period of up to 50 years, with an option for renewal of the lease for 25 years (totaling 75 years). Another option is to set up a local company to buy property.
Can foreigners open companies to buy real estate in the Philippines?
Foreigners can only own 40% of the shares in a Filipino company. This is usually resolved by appointing oneself as director to get majority voting rights. Naturally, you should also hire a professional that can help you to stipulate the contracts, protecting your ownership.
Can foreigners get long term visas when buying property in the Philippines?
Yes, The SRRV Classic (Special Resident Retiree’s Visa – Classic) allows you to stay in the Philippines indefinitely if buying property. You need to deposit the following amounts, depending on your age.
