Owning a piece of land for your home is a realistic dream. Owning a large land for your farm or ranch is like winning the lottery. Foreigners can own land in Philippines in ways: by being a former Filipino citizen, by being a child of Filipino citizen, by becoming a Filipino citizen (by giving huge contribution to the welfare of Filipinos), by inheritance from a Filipino spouse (involve good expensive lawyers and living in Philippines for good (due to squatter rights)), by partial ownership with Filipino citizens (mostly for businesses), by not owning but leasing, by not owning but renting or visiting. Influx of foreign ownership will stay in the current pace in the next 50 to 100 years, but depends a lot on foreign business investments.
Hey Adam. I hadn't seen one of your videos in a while. I watch so much different stuff and this was the first one of your videos that came up in my feed. I have to say the garden has really married since the last time i saw it. I agree with you. If you are in a good living, solid relationship, you can just enjoy the property with your wife and children if you have them. Give my best to the family. It's good to see you guys again.
Great video as always Adam and Jane. Fellow Brit here - I have bought land with my wife in Masbate. We are also looking to buy some additional lots. Currently almost all my assets are in Europe, so lots and potentially small modest rentals or a mini boarding house are in our plans as a way to save drawing from our European assets, and hedge any currency risk. But the main focus would be the own a home there someday soon
Hi my friend! That sounds like a great plan and idea. Good luck and have a great weekend 😊
Good positive note if nothing else your future children should inherit it from you as their parents thats how its always been in all ages.
By my opinion if somebody want place where he or she will live in Philippines is better to have land and house then condo,condo is good as aditional source of income by renting it,but for every day life only house with yard and garden
Also is very good to have some land for growing rice and sell it,harvesting us 3 times a year and that also is not bad income for house budget
Garden is looking good.
Indeed, location is key! When I was looking for land in Ormoc, I told my ex that I wanted either a beach lot or something up in the mountains with a nice top-down panoramic view. She vetoed both, rightfully so, as a beach lot risks being flooded and a house on a mountain may come down in case of a landslide. The land we bought in Luna was far enough away from the sea not to be flooded and from the remote mountain range not to be affected by landslides. Downside: we did not have a view. As for ownership laws: I know them and I will never buy land or build a house in the Philippines again. Once bitten, twice shy! I appreciate that others have a different take on the matter and that's OK. As long as they aware that they could lose it!
Great advice my friend and totally understandable! Totally. God bless you 😊
you can make a loan to your wife in the amount close to the property price and encumber the property.
@@AlphaWebSoluitions I would check that out with a lawyer if I were you. It is my understanding that Philippine legislation doesn't allow loans between spouces. I could be wrong, but if you think of doing this, I would definitely get some expert advice.
@@homebasebelgium359 There are ways to go about it legally. ..
Awesome video... Thanks so much for sharing your advice and adventures.
Our pleasure! God bless you my friend 😊
Thanks for your practical inputs but most of all your WISDOM. You must know that your videos really do touch the heart.
I appreciate that! God bless you my friend 😊
Thank you for the advise and recommendations, Adam. They are very useful information.
Thank you my friend 😊
Hello, i hope you are doing well. 🇬🇧🇵🇭 Thank you for sharing your video. Take care and stay healthy. 🏝️🌷♥️☮️🌈
A wealth of information...Thank you.
Thank you my friend 😊
very clear explanation well done
Thank you my friend. There is a lot of confusion or people trying to find loopholes. There aren’t any as the way it should be. It’s good how things are. God bless you 😊
Hi Adam and Jane, monty has come to life again. Keep safe on the road.
Good day my friend. Monty is back on the road and feels good! God bless you 😊
I love watching you and your family on TH-cam on my TV and tablet I'm subscribed to God bless you and your family from Samuel Hinkle and my TH-cam channel SAME WOLF 21 ❤️😊
Foreigners can own condominium units though and for most foreigners, especially for retirees, it's a good option.
@@jeanmoralles977 you aren’t and never will be. Grow up. Stupid!
Love watching your vlog. I have a lot near your brgy. dolores in brgy. san pablo you can visit😅
Thanks Adam for the clarification on Buying Property in the Philippines!! You would be a Great Relator!!
Thank you my friend. I have a lot of knowledge and experience with land, houses and the laws involved. Many, many years of working in this line and it’s hard to forget any of it 🤣 it’s such an important thing buying the right land or house as it’s difficult to change your mind once committed to the purchase. God bless you my friend 😊
Your garden is looking more fabulous. Adam, I wondered if you had more mice or snake surprises 😂
Thank you my friend. No more snakes or mice yet. Hopefully it stays that way. God bless you 😊
Always enjoy your videos, my wife is from Mindanao and we bought out her sisters share of their family property. We will be moving there in 2 years. From what I understand from what you are saying I would be very insecure,if my wife passed away someone else would inherit it and could tell me to leave. Surely there is someway to protect my interests. God Bless
No my friend, if you are married and registered marriage in the Philippines then you would inherit the land and property on it if if your wife was to unfortunately pass before you as long as she made no will about the property and land. There is no way to protect your interests before this as it’s viewed as unconstitutional. Don’t worry my friend. The law is solid but obtain legal advice from a good attorney here if you have concerns. God bless you😊
I know 2 British guys who bought houses with land in joint names. Both were married. One in Ormoc. One in Antipollo. Both lost everything when their marriages ended. Lawyers could not save them !!!!!
Foreigners cannot own land in the Philippines. That’s the bottom line. Foreigners can own the house though should it be put in joint or sole names but never put both names on land and houses. Foreigners can inherit land. Foreigners can become Filipino citizens with all rights, privileges and obligations of people born here.
Love you all. Thank you
Thank you too my friend. God bless you 😊
YES UR RIGHT ADAM JUST LIKE MY FRIEND FROM UK ALSO HE BUY HOUSE AND LAND BUT THE GIRL ONLY LIKE TO PUT HER NAME EVEN CO OWNER DID NOT PUT THE NAME OF MY FRIEND HE REQUEST TO,THE GIRL TO PUT MY NAME FOR HIS SECURITY BUT THE SCAMMER NOT ALLOWED ITS WORTH 7M IMAGINE SO NOW HE LEFT THE GIRL COZ THEY CHEATED TO HIM SO NOW I FILE A CASE TO THE GIRL COZ MY FRIEND BACK IN UK FOR WORK,I HAVE A SPA,, SO HOPEFULLY THE SCAMMER GO TO JAIL..

God bless you my friend 😊
Foreign cant own but you can inherit to your children and every year the land interesting more its good for investment. To get property in Philippines important the location if you want near in the city or mountain.
Foreigners can inherit too my friend. They can eventually own. It’s always the most important thing is location 😊
Beautiful Luts you used for color grading.
Thank you my friend. I color grade from scratch using log profiles. I find it easily to make the video suit the mood that way. God bless you 😊
@@AdamandJanesLifestyleare you using da vinci resolve? it adds good vibes to your videos.
👍👍👍
God bless you my friend 😊
you are definitely correct, we dont own anything in this world, we grow old, our land we bought will be transferred to our children, to their children, and the next generation. etc. and we owners will be forgotten😂 just enjoy the simpliest thing that we a roof, bed, etc. and enjoy having a peaceful home, a privacy that what its all about.
Exactly right my friend. Life is for living and enjoying while we can as the only certainty is we won’t be on this planet forever. God bless you 😊
I believed it's more practical to lease a land specially w/ ocean view if you are a foreigner and it's cheaper.
It’s a good idea always but leases can be difficult unless you have a great owner as it can cost a lot of money to take a landowner to court over a break in the lease agreement.
There have been moves in the past three decades through several administrations to remove those constitutional restrictions and allow foreigners 100% ownership of business and in certain cases land as well. Hopefully the current administration will succeed this time.
I understand (as a fact) that a foreigner can register his/her name on the land title besides his/her spouse as a proof of a conjugal ownership. But not many land registrar knows about it
Yes my friend. It can be done and even though the foreigner won’t be the owner they may still inherit some or all of the land. A foreigner can 100% own the house but not the land it is on. Legally the house would belong to the foreigner but obviously couldn’t be sold as the land isn’t owned. The Filipino who owns the land also though can’t sell the house or alter it etc 😊
@@AdamandJanesLifestyle
Registering it as a conjugal property only give the foreigner some kind of protection which hopefully he or she won't need. You seem to be enjoying it here. Some foreigners have different expectations and ended up heart broken and bankrupt
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Even though the Philippines, when you’re putting a house or property in your wife or girlfriend‘s name, it seems more direct that you are really giving it to them… But even in the USA I’ve had three wives and three houses and they got all three and the land.
Haha haha....So it doesn't matter if you do it the fourth time.... 😂😂
Some nice aerials with a nonactive volcano in the distance, seems a very pleasant area you dwell in…and…who can tell, maybe it will be owned by China in the distant future 😱 thx for the vid 🙏🏻🕊🇵🇭
God bless you always my friend 😊
Maayong hapon bai adam
Maayong hapon my good friend 😊
Very nice roads background bro, wow
The roads are new here my friend and in our previous video they didn’t exist. It’s to show the development of an empty area in 2 years. Things progress quickly😊
Regarding owning land and some expats being very scared to invest. You don't have to own the Sun to enjoy a Sunset
You said it exactly right my friend! God bless you 😊
Can you build a basic home on a farmlot? Most old local homes are on farmlots right?
No, you generally cannot use agricultural land for non-agricultural purposes without reclassification. Agricultural land is intended for farming, and changing its use requires legal approval and reclassification. Only if you own a vast amount of land could a small structure be built but only for the purpose of the farm. No legal water connections from public services or electrity would be allowed.
That’s a beautiful property? Which is this particular location if you don’t mind? I’m hunting a property. Hope you will keep sharing a location of property for sale. More power to your channel. I’m helping without skipping ads to help your channel 🎉💖🌟
I can recommend
Philippine lawmakers are working together to alter that Law,Adam hopefully very soon
Yes, I have heard 3 foreign chambers are saying they require it to be changed for more investment and trade deals to be implemented. Whether it happens or is good I don’t know my friend. God bless you 😊
When it comes to law here, it really means years in waiting. Your grey beard might turn blond by then. Wouldn’t count on it.
Someone told me that a foreigner can inherit land known as intestate succession. So, if my mom was a filipino citizen and she died, as long as there is no will, me as a U.S. citizen can inherit her land.
That’s my understanding. If you could become a Filipino citizen as your mother was a Filipino citizen at the time of birth then could legally inherit and own an entire estate of a Filipino citizen parent.
@@AdamandJanesLifestyle I believe this is the only exemption for a foreigner to own land as long as they are an heir. I read a few lawyers websites and they don’t mention that you have to become a Filipino but then again, it all depends on the interpretation. So you never know.
@@ariesa.9638 you might be right. It’s a difficult area but the law is designed to keep the land within the family as best possible. God bless you my friend 😊
In reality, nobody really owns land anywhere in the world. In early days, it's just a matter of land grab, documented and made legal by society. Nobody bought it from the CREATOR, it's absurd. Anyone who has the legal paper really are just custodian of the land. We have to look after it.
How do you rate hospital there and how far?
Very good my friend and only 10-15 minutes in a car 😊
I signed up for Nord VPN some time ago and only then found that you can’t select the Philippines as your location. Major disappointment. Did Nord not tell you this when they offered to sponsor you?
We were completely unaware my friend but it’s more of a service where you select another country while in the Philippines to obtain cheaper flight, different tv shows and security using public Wi-Fi. It works great using USA or UK servers with little to no slowdown. Definitely helps with lots of things here😊
I more wanted it to find suppliers and services in the Philippines when I'm in the UK so the best I can do is use the Taiwan or Singapore locations
I was told you can’t “own” the land but you could “lease” 25 or 50 years .. but I’m only 5 minutes into the video do you might say something about it.
Yes my friend! You can’t lease from your spouse or relation though 😊
Please abide by the laws of our land! The Philippines is only for the Filipinos. Foreigners are welcome to visit, but not to stay and buy land. What will happen to our poor country, if foreigners come here and start buying land? We Filipinos will end up strangers in our own country!
Did you watch the video at all my friend? You should before making comments like this. Everything said IS the law of the Philippines! The Philippines is only for Filipinos? Is the USA only for Americans? Or UK for British? Maybe you should tell that to the wonderful Filipinos who work overseas, live there and buy property there. Foreigners shouldn’t live in the Philippines with their Filipino wife and children?
Foreigners cannot buy land but can own land in the Philippines as per the law. It’s been that way since 1980’s at least if not before then. You should think about how you word your comment as it’s very offensive in tone and borderline racism. Anytime you say someone isn’t welcome somewhere you are excluding due only to race. That’s very bad.
The difference between the US/UK and the Philippines is that the Philippines was colonized and the land was taken away by the colonizers. It's in the blood of the Filipinos that they are scared that it can happen again. Land prices will be unaffordable for normal Filipinos when the market will be open for everyone. My personal opinion is that the government isn't interested in changing it because the Philippines is owned by a handful of families and conglomerates like San Miguel, SM and others.
The same is happening in Indonesia an ex Dutch colony ...
@@klausschumacher7126 I’d agree my friend but it seems moves are being made as it will encourage far more foreign investment which would bring so many benefits to the people here… jobs, industry, infrastructure… if it was limited to what it is for former Filipinos (1,000sqm max total) then it would work. No one could come in and buy up all the land. Absolutely we understand the fear but this happened in most countries and the economies grew and unemployment fell.
@@AdamandJanesLifestyle Don’t delude yourselves that we will ever allow foreigners to own land in our country!
Get a contract lease from your spouse Incase she dumps you.At least you won't sleep in a car for 5O years😂
You cannot lease from your spouse! Please watch fully and not make silly comments like this 😊
