I have been reading this board for a while. Now, we are purchasing a home in St.Thomas. Please recommend a good lawyer and a home inspector who can help us to complete the transaction.
Thanks much.

Thanks for the information. Any recommendations for a home inspector in St Thomas?
I searched the board, it seems there are more information for St. Croix than St. Thomas.

Leigh Goldman is an excellent attorney. And we used Jimmy Fraguela, CAPITAL HOME INSPECTION for our home inspection in June - very thorough and fair price.

2nd the vote of Leigh Goldman as a Real Estate Attorney! He has a great office location in French town.
The best and most picky by far is Adrian Bishop for your home inspector.

We had Adrian as a home inspector, he missed a lot! I wouldn't use him again!

Get a private builder in addition to the home inspection and walk WITH him. Also contact the CZM and make sure that there are no issues with them. If it is a demoliashed home or one that has not been occupied check WAPA for any isses regarding service.
I purchased a hurrican damaged home in 2001 and it was the best thing I have ever done. It is taking some work but it has been worth it.
If you purchase appliances from the main land ask if they carry a warranty in the VI. I shipped a container down and found out later that they did not carry a warranty and I had to ship them back to the main land.
good luck,.
