Under no circumstance should you give any more than a reasonable deposit until ALL the paperwork goes thru the attorneys and you are approved to buy land by the Fiji Government. Do no attempt to save money by not hiring an attorney. There are some situations that have more to them than meet the eye. Believe me, I know. We lived thru one of those experiences before finding the property that we currently own and love.
Most properties are far away from modern conveniences.
There are a few that are close to services and amenities. Land with a house can be very expensive. Materials are a challenge to obtain. You should know as much about the area as possible. Our piece of property is near Savu Savu on the second largest island of Vanua Levu.
