Your real estate agency
in Mauritius

GADAIT International is the trading name of Cheval Blanc Ltd (BRN C20172402), a Mauritian company based in Tamarin, on the west coast, founded by Pierre-Axel Gadait in 2011. Since 1 August 2026, every agency and every agent operating in Mauritius must register with the Real Estate Agent Authority (REAA); the transition period ends on 31 October 2026. Our registration file is being completed under this 2026 framework, and our REAA number will appear on every listing and document as the law requires.

Since the 2026 regulations (Government Notice 125), agency commissions in Mauritius are capped: at most 2% from the seller and 2% from the buyer on a sale, and 8% from each side on a rental. A written mandate is mandatory and must state the property, the duration and whether it is exclusive. We work within these caps, in writing, before any work starts — and we tell you upfront who pays what.

Yes. Non-citizens buy freehold in approved developments under the PDS, IRS, RES and Smart City schemes, and apartments in buildings of at least two storeys (G+2). A residence permit for the buyer and family comes with a qualifying purchase from USD 375,000. We check the eligibility of every property before you visit it, and we handle the Economic Development Board (EDB) approval with the notary.

Registration duty of 5% is paid by the buyer and a 5% land transfer tax by the seller — the 10% + 10% announced in the 2025 budget was repealed by the Finance Bill 2026. Add notary fees (regulated scale, roughly 0.5% to 1%) and the EDB application fee for scheme purchases. Mauritius has no capital gains tax on the resale of a residential property and no annual property tax on it; personal income tax is a flat 15%. We give you the full cost breakdown in writing for each property.

The whole island, from our base in Tamarin: the west coast (Tamarin, Rivière Noire, Flic-en-Flac), the north (Grand Baie, Pereybère, Cap Malheureux, Mont Choisy), the east (Beau Champ, Belle Mare, Anahita, Four Seasons) and the south (Bel Ombre, Heritage Villas Valriche). Our catalogue lists some 300 properties for sale across the island.

Yes. We manage holiday rentals for owners and travellers on the west coast and beyond, with real availability calendars, and long-term rentals for expatriates and companies. Rental commissions are capped at 8% each side under the 2026 regulations, and every rental mandate is written.

We start with a documented valuation, then a written mandate (exclusive or not, with the duration and the 2% commission cap). Your property is photographed and filmed, published on gadait-international.com and on the portals we use, shown to our buyer database in Europe, the Gulf and South Africa, and presented with private viewings. We qualify buyers, check their eligibility and proof of funds, and manage the negotiation and the notary process to completion.

We are a Mauritian agency that also works as a buyer's agent: a tight shortlist instead of a catalogue dump, a full dossier per property (eligibility, charges, title, rental potential), private viewings, negotiation, and the follow-up after completion — management, holiday letting, resale. We advise international clients across eight destinations, which gives our Mauritian buyers a point of comparison most local agencies cannot offer.

French and English, every day, with clients from France, Belgium, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, South Africa, the Gulf and Réunion. First reply within office hours is typically under four hours, on WhatsApp, by email or by phone at +230 5494 5494.

In Tamarin, on Royal Road, on the west coast of Mauritius — between Flic-en-Flac and Rivière Noire. Viewings are organised across the island from there. Our Paris address, 78 Avenue des Champs-Élysées, serves our European clients.
