Your eyes and hands
in Sri Lanka.
Kethumathi Properties is a boutique advisory built for buyers who live abroad. Whether you are investing for rental yield, securing a holiday home by the coast, or planning to relocate one day, we represent your interests on the ground from the first search to the final keys.
We work fully remote whenever you need us to. We view properties on your behalf, send honest video walkthroughs, negotiate the real local price, manage every notary and title check, and stay on to build or manage long after the purchase closes. One trusted contact for the entire journey.
From first search to your front door.
One team covers the entire chain, so you never coordinate a broker, lawyer, architect and manager across time zones on your own.
Find properties to your needs
We learn your goals, budget and timeline, then source on and off market properties that genuinely fit, not whatever is easiest to sell.
On the ground inspections
We visit every shortlisted property in person and send honest video walkthroughs, condition notes and real neighbourhood context.
Price negotiation
We negotiate at the genuine local price, not the foreigner price, and keep you clear on every offer and counter.
Legal & documentation
Title searches, deeds, sale agreements and notary coordination handled end to end with registered legal partners.
Foreign ownership guidance
Clear advice on how non residents can hold property here, including long lease and company structures that stay compliant.
Architecture & build management
Planning to build? We coordinate architects, contractors and approvals and oversee the site while you are away.
Interior & furnishing
Turnkey interiors and furnishing so your home or rental is ready to live in or earn from the day you arrive.
Property management
Bills, maintenance, tenants and quarterly reporting once you own, so your investment runs smoothly from abroad.
Relocation & settling in
Moving for good? We help with utilities, bank accounts, schools and the hundred small things that make Sri Lanka feel like home from week one.

Handover & beyond
We complete the purchase, furnish or build as needed, and manage the property long after you own it.
Questions buyers ask us.
The essentials on ownership, visiting, payments and visas. Have a question that is not here? Just ask.
Can foreigners own property in Sri Lanka?
Non residents cannot hold freehold land outright, but you can secure property through a long term lease of up to 99 years or a locally structured company. We explain the right route for your situation before you commit a cent.
Do I need to visit Sri Lanka to buy?
No. We act as your eyes and hands on the ground, from inspections to signing, so you can complete a purchase entirely remotely if you prefer. Many of our clients buy before they ever set foot on the property.
How do payments and money transfers work?
Funds are routed through approved inward investment accounts so your money stays fully traceable and compliant. We coordinate with your bank and our legal partners at every step, and you always know where your money is.
What about visas and staying long term?
Owning property does not grant residency on its own, but several visa routes exist for retirees, remote workers and investors. We point you to the right advisors and paperwork so your plans and your purchase line up.
Can you help me build, not just buy?
Yes. We manage architects, contractors, approvals and site supervision so you can build your perfect home without being here. You approve the milestones, we run the site.
What are your fees?
We agree a clear, fixed scope and fee before any work begins. No hidden commissions and no foreigner markup. You see exactly what you pay for.
