What your budget buys in Tel Mond

4-room family apartments:new-build with a safe room, parking and elevator sits at the top of the range.

How the purchase works when you live abroad

Define the brief and budget in shekels, including 10%–15% for taxes and fees, and decide whether you need financing.
Shortlist and view: we pre-screen properties in Tel Mond, send video walkthroughs and pull the Tabu extract, building permits and any renewal plans before you fly or decide remotely.
Negotiate and agree terms; in Israel the price, payment schedule and delivery date are all negotiable and nothing binds until the contract is signed.
Your lawyer runs due diligence and drafts the contract; signing usually comes with a 10%–20% deposit held in trust and a caution registered in your favor at the Land Registry.
Declare purchase tax within 30 days and pay it within 60, complete staged payments, receive the keys and register title; a power of attorney lets your lawyer sign for you without a trip to Israel.

A typical resale purchase closes in 60–90 days: signing and a 10%–20% deposit held in trust, purchase tax declared within 30 days and paid within 60, staged payments and delivery of the keys against registration of a caution (he'arat azhara) and then title. Israelis count rooms, not bedrooms: a "4-room apartment" has three bedrooms and a living room, and sizes are quoted in net square meters, usually excluding balconies.

Budgeting the extras: tax, legal and brokerage

Non-resident and investor buyers pay purchase tax (mas rechisha) of 8% up to ₪6,055,070 and 10% above it; Israeli residents buying a first home pay far less, and new immigrants (Olim) receive reduced brackets for a limited window around their Aliyah (Source: Israel Tax Authority, 2026). Thresholds are indexed every January, so confirm the exact figures with your lawyer before signing.

Israeli law does not require a notary for property deals; instead each side hires a real estate lawyer, typically for 0.5%–1.5% of the price plus 18% VAT, who drafts the contract, checks title and registers the transfer. Brokerage fees are regulated by the Real Estate Brokers Law: a licensed broker may charge only with a signed brokerage agreement, and the market norm is up to 2% plus VAT of the price on a purchase and one month's rent plus VAT on a rental.

Israeli banks lend to non-residents, but usually at 50% loan-to-value or less, with proof of foreign income, a local account and a life-insurance policy assigned to the bank; Israeli residents can borrow up to 75% on a first home (Source: Bank of Israel, Directive 329).
