Buying a riad in Marrakech: the guide, from studded door to land register
In 2026, an inconspicuous rule changed the cost of some riad sales. Since 1 July, when a house priced at more than 300,000 DH is paid for wholly or partly in cash, or the deed does not specify how it was paid, 2 percentage points of registration duty are added: on the cash portion alone if the rest was settled by lawful means. It is only one detail among many, but it captures the essentials: buying a riad is as much a matter of procedure as of love at first sight.
