Property Investor information for: Jersey
Jersey and the other Channel Islands represent the last remnants of the medieval Dukedom of Normandy that held sway in both France and England. These islands were the only British soil occupied by German troops in World War II. Jersey is a British crown dependency, but is not part of the UK.
The question of who can buy a property in Jersey is crucial. Before you will be allowed to do so you must have "housing qualifications" and must have received consent from the States of Jersey Housing Committee. You should not attempt to complete a transaction until you are sure that consent has been granted.
The Committee receives its power by virtue of the Housing (Jersey) Law 1949 and is bound by Regulations created in 1970. These Regulations have been considerably amended since then and they are very complex.
