You’re No Longer Using the Property, and it’s losing value.
Right now, there are homes all across Montserrat that were once filled with life are now locked up, unused, and slowly deteriorating. And at the same time, there’s growing demand from buyers and renters who are eager to invest in the island, especially with fresh development and renewed interest in returning home or relocating here.
For many Montserratians abroad, owning land or a family home on the island is a source of pride, a piece of your history, your heritage. But what happens when that property sits empty year after year? When your plans to return keep getting pushed back? When the upkeep becomes too much to manage from overseas?
Here’s a hard truth: your beloved home is losing value while you hold on.
Let It Go. Let It Grow.
For many, holding on to the family home or a piece of land in Montserrat is a way to stay connected to the island. It’s something passed down, a link to your roots. But if you haven’t visited in years and don’t have any concrete plans to return, your property might be doing more harm than good.
Empty homes in the Caribbean climate don’t stay in perfect shape for long. Salt air, heavy rain, and humidity are constantly working against the structure. If no one is regularly checking in, small issues like a cracked window or blocked gutter can quickly snowball into major problems. From termite damage, mold, roof failure, even foundation issues, each of these silently chips away at the value of your property, and before you know it, your home is just worth the cost of the land it sits on.
Holding on may feel like the safer choice. But what if it’s actually holding you back and costing you?
Selling your property doesn’t mean turning your back on Montserrat. It could be the start of something new. That sale might help you fund a better home, invest in a business, support your children’s education, or simply take financial pressure off your shoulders.
At Black Sand Properties, we understand the emotional weight that comes with selling a family property, especially one that’s been in your family for generations. But we also know how powerful it can be to pass it on to someone who will breathe life back into it, while you walk away with a well deserved reward.
