Turks & Caicos Islands Real Estate Summer/Fall 2018

inheritance taxes and no exchange controls. As a British
Dependent Territory, the legal system is based on English
Common Law, with effective regulation and compliance
to financial standards. Best of all, it’s easier than ever to
get to the land of sunshine, with twice-weekly flights
from the UK and over 150 weekly flights between US and
Canadian cities.
In the area of telecommunications, following the
aftermath of the hurricanes last year, Digicel’s top priority
was recovery. While this was a mammoth undertaking,
Digicel is committed to providing customers with the best
service possible and is laying the groundwork for a better
tomorrow with a $15 million investment in upgrading the
network and services.
As part of its mobile network upgrade, LTE will now
be available to South Caicos, Salt Cay and Grand Turk.
Additional coverage sites will further enhance network
reliability and coverage. Folks in Providenciales have been
watching Digicel lay fibre optic cables that will be connected
directly to the customer’s home and boast internet
speeds faster and more reliable than ever before. For the
first time, the core of the Digicel network will be run
underground to future-proof it against natural disasters
and ensure faster recovery times.
They say there’s a calm after the storm, but in the
Turks & Caicos Islands, it appears to be a surge. If you
are interested in joining the new wave of real estate owners
and investors who are breaking waves here, talk to one
of the many TCREA brokers and agents listed in these
