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.

Current-source posture: I found no indexed public MarsLankaRealty.com business site. The closest real business footprint is MARS Lanka Holdings, whose public profile already lists Real Estate as one of its sectors and has publicly promoted property in Hambantota. This site turns that existing lane into a dedicated realty brand without pretending the new brokerage platform is already 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.

Property discovery without fake inventory
SEARCH BY BUYER INTENT,
NOT BY A STALE LISTING WALL.
These are market lanes, not claims of active inventory. Production listings should only appear after seller authority, status, media, location, price, and availability are verified.

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.

Why MARS Lanka Realty exists inside the family
REAL ESTATE WAS ALREADY
IN THE MARS LANKA FOOTPRINT.
MARS Lanka Holdings’ current public profile describes Real Estate as one of its diversified service sectors. Public posts have also promoted beachfront land in Hambantota. The dedicated Realty brand takes that existing business lane and builds the buyer/seller workflow it needs.
Parent company footprint
MARS Lanka Holdings publicly lists Education, Travel & Tourism, Real Estate, and Trading and links to marslanka.com.
CURRENT PUBLIC PROFILE
Property activity already visible
A public MARS Lanka Holdings post promoted beachfront land for sale in Hambantota. This site treats it as historic evidence of activity, not as a current listing.
PUBLIC PROPERTY POST
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.

No dedicated MARS Lanka Realty contact profile surfaced publicly yet, so this program uses the currently published MARS Lanka Holdings contact information as the parent-company route until a dedicated realty line is confirmed.

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 only when production inventory is verified. This official platform intentionally avoids fake active listings. The market explorer shows discovery lanes and the Hambantota reference is historic public activity from MARS Lanka Holdings, not a current availability claim.

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.
