MARS Lanka Realty is built for the buyer who is not standing on the property every day: overseas Sri Lankans, dual citizens, foreign nationals, investors, and families who want local eyes on the ground before money moves.

Where this comes from: MARS Lanka Holdings' public profile lists Real Estate as one of its sectors, and the group has publicly promoted property in Hambantota. MarsLankaRealty.com is a dedicated realty brand for that lane; the brokerage platform is new and is not yet operating at scale.
What the realty brand should actually sell
NOT “LISTINGS.”
CONFIDENCE IN THE TRANSACTION.
An overseas buyer can find property pictures anywhere. The valuable service is making the right property understandable, visitable, documentable, and closable from another country.

Local Verification
Coordinate property visits, seller conversations, photo/video walkthroughs, neighborhood checks, and document collection before a remote buyer commits.

WHO YOU ARE CHANGES WHAT YOU CAN BUY.
Sri Lankan land law treats citizens, dual citizens, foreign nationals, companies, land, leases, and registered condominium parcels differently. This quick tool is intentionally conservative and routes anything complex to a Sri Lankan attorney/notary before an offer is presented as legally workable.
FIRST-PASS ONLY
Select your buyer and property type.
This tool is not a legal opinion. Final eligibility and transaction structure must be confirmed against current Sri Lankan law by qualified counsel.
The overseas-buyer workflow
FROM “I’M INTERESTED”
TO A CLEAN HANDOVER.
The system is designed so the buyer can see where the transaction is stuck and who owns the next action.

THE PROPERTY IS ONLY HALF THE DEAL.
A polished listing page does not tell you whether the seller has authority, the title is clean, the boundaries match, the condominium plan is registered, the financing/remittance path works, or the agreement protects the buyer. The case file should.

MARS LANKA HOLDINGS
Past property activity
MARS Lanka Holdings has offered beachfront land for sale in Hambantota. That was a past sale, not a current listing.
PAST SALE
For Sri Lankan property owners
SELL TO A BUYER WHO MAY BE 8,000 MILES AWAY.
The seller side should be built for verified property files, strong media, remote walkthroughs, clear transaction terms, and international-buyer questions. A property should not be published until MARS can explain what it is and what the seller is actually authorized to sell.

Foreign / overseas buyer questions
THE ANSWER DEPENDS
ON WHO IS BUYING WHAT.
As a general rule under the current Land (Restrictions on Alienation) Act, transfer of land title to a foreigner is prohibited unless a statutory exemption applies. Get transaction-specific legal advice before signing or paying a deposit.
The current Act contains an exemption for a condominium parcel specified under the Apartment Ownership Law, provided the entire value is paid upfront through an inward foreign remittance before execution of the deed of transfer. The older “fourth floor” restriction was removed by the 2018 amendment.
The current Act expressly includes an exemption for a Sri Lankan dual citizen within the meaning of the Citizenship Act. Counsel should still verify the buyer documents and the specific transaction.
The current law provides for foreign leases and states a maximum tenure of 99 years. Transaction terms, registration, taxes/fees, and any current foreign-exchange rules still need transaction-specific review.
MARS Lanka Realty should coordinate with qualified independent Sri Lankan legal/notarial professionals for title, deed, eligibility, agreement, and closing work rather than trying to replace legal counsel.
Yes, once each property is checked. Until then this site shows no listings. The market explorer shows areas to search, and the Hambantota land was a past sale by MARS Lanka Holdings, not a current listing.

DON’T SEND THE DEPOSIT
BECAUSE THE PHOTOS LOOK GOOD.
Build the buyer file first. Verify the legal path, the seller, the property, the documents, and the money route before the transaction gains momentum.
