## Frequently Asked Questions

### The House Residence Azure - Michamvi

**Can foreigners buy property in Zanzibar?**
Yes. Non-Tanzanian citizens can legally acquire property in Zanzibar through a 99-year renewable leasehold agreement. Azure's legal team ensures full compliance with land acquisition procedures in Tanzania, including all permits and approvals.

**What are the taxes and fees when buying property in Zanzibar?**
Foreign investors benefit from a favorable tax regime. Costs include stamp duty (1% of property value), registration fees, and annual property tax. Compared to destinations like Bali or Mauritius, Zanzibar offers significantly lower transaction costs.

**When will The House Residence Azure Zanzibar be completed?**
Construction is underway, and handover is scheduled for Q4 2026. Investors can monitor progress through regular updates and site visits.

**How many residences are available for purchase?**
The project includes 93 branded villas, including 16 over-water villas and a selection of beachfront and garden villas. Availability is limited, and demand is high among international buyers.

**What is the rental pool program?**
At The House Residence Azure Zanzibar, participation in the rental pool program is mandatory. This system allows every investor to generate passive income by having their villa professionally managed and rented to international tourists. Revenues are shared between the owner and the management company, with marketing, operations, and guest services handled entirely by Azure's team, ensuring high occupancy rates and hassle-free returns.

**Can I use my villa personally?**
Yes, as an owner you can personally use your villa for holidays or extended stays. However, since the rental pool program is mandatory, your villa will automatically be included when not in personal use. This means you enjoy the flexibility of staying in your property whenever you wish, while still generating passive rental income during the periods it is available to guests.

**What are the projected returns on investment?**
At The House Residence Azure Zanzibar, projected rental yields average 12% minimum per annum when participating in the rental pool program. These projections are based on current market conditions, tourism growth trends, and comparable luxury properties in the region. Additionally, property values in prime Zanzibar locations have shown consistent annual appreciation.

**What happens if I want to resell my villa?**
Villas in Zanzibar can be resold at any time. Given Zanzibar's rapid tourism growth and limited supply of premium beachfront properties, resale values typically appreciate significantly. Azure's team can assist with marketing your property to their network of international buyers, ensuring maximum exposure and optimal pricing.

### Azure Paje Residences

**What are the apartments like?**
Azure Paje offers a diverse mix of luxury residences including contemporary studios (from 30 m²), one-bedroom apartments (from 55 m²), two-bedroom units (from 70 m²), and exclusive penthouses and 3-bedroom apartments (up to 190+ m²). Each apartment blends modern design with natural materials, private outdoor space, and an option to include a full designer furniture package.

**What's the distance from the beach?**
Azure Paje is just 150 meters from the beach, meaning you can walk from your apartment to the Indian Ocean in under two minutes.

**Can I stay in my apartment whenever I want?**
Yes. Owners enjoy complete flexibility to stay anytime they wish, for as long as they like. You also have the option to rent your apartment short-term when you're not using it.

**Is Azure Paje managed or fully independent?**
Azure Paje is designed for independent ownership. However, Azure offers full property management and vacation rental services should you choose to rent it out, making your investment truly hassle-free.

**What is the expected ROI?**
Based on current tourism trends and rental yields in Paje, investors can expect a projected ROI of 12–15% annually, depending on the occupancy rate and seasonality.

**Is the development already under construction?**
Yes. The construction of Azure Paje is underway with phased handovers scheduled. You can follow progress through updates and schedule a site visit anytime.

**Are the units sold with furniture?**
Yes, all Azure Paje units are available with an optional fully furnished package, designed to match the development's modern, tropical aesthetic. Each package includes high-quality, custom-selected furniture and finishes, allowing for immediate move-in or seamless short-term rental use. Furniture packages are priced per room—starting from $10,000 for studios.

**How do I invest?**
The investment process is simple. Reserve your unit with $5,000, sign your Sale & Purchase Agreement, and follow the flexible 24-month payment plan. Azure's team supports you throughout to make your buying experience seamless and secure.

**What amenities are included?**
Azure Paje features a gym, spa, co-working space, rooftop gardens, restaurants, shops, kids' areas, and two large communal pools. Each apartment includes A/C, high-speed WiFi, and the option for private plunge pools or rooftop terraces in selected units.

**Can foreigners legally buy property in Zanzibar?**
Yes, foreigners can own property in Zanzibar under the Condominium Act. You'll receive a unit title registered under your name, with full ownership rights for the lease duration (33 years renewable to 99).
