The Fiduciary Framework

Cross-border transactions, held to a single standard.

Every World Property transaction follows the same four-phase framework β€” the same in Colombo, Kathmandu and New York. Structuring, verified title, escrowed capital, and ongoing stewardship.

Escrow before you fund

Capital sits with a regulated fiduciary under UK / Swiss law.

Common Questions

About the framework

Do you charge for a first consultation? expand_more

No. Your first 45-minute call is free and off the record β€” no listing pitch and no obligation. We use it to understand your mandate and see whether we’re the right desk for it.

Can I buy property in a country where I’m not resident? expand_more

In all three of our markets, yes β€” with the right entity structure. We advise on SPV / trust setup, foreign-land-act clearance and repatriation before a single dollar moves into escrow.

Do you list off-market properties? expand_more

Roughly one in three of our transactions is off-market. Send us your mandate and we’ll match you against inventory that never appears on this site.

How long does a typical transaction take? expand_more

From executed LOI to registered deed, most residential transactions close in 6 – 10 weeks. Commercial and cross-border ones with residency-visa work run 10 – 16 weeks.

Which currencies can I transact in? expand_more

USD, EUR and GBP are standard across all our escrow accounts. LKR and NPR are supported for local-currency closings where required by the target country’s registry.

How long does the full process take? expand_more

From engagement letter to registered deed, a straightforward residential transaction runs 6 – 10 weeks. Commercial and cross-border transactions with residency-visa work run 10 – 16 weeks.
