Residential / International community
Whilst many Latvian families enjoy living in Saliena, it’s also home to a thriving international community, with families from England, America, Scandinavia, Denmark, Iceland, Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan. Saliena assists these families in buying a house, setting up home, creating a fantastic lifestyle and more.
Firstly, all clients receive full guidance and support throughout the entire purchasing process:
- They obtain the best financing through Saliena’s access to the best mortgage advisors and mortgage rates in Latvian lending banks.
- Saliena also ensures that each buyer receives fast registration of property ownership in the official Latvian Land Book.
- Saliena assists non-EU passport holders to obtain their residency permit - by investing EUR 143,000 in a Saliena property, they receive a 5-year residence permit, and are free to stay and travel within all Schengen zone countries without any additional permits or visas. This residence permit also makes it much easier and quicker to obtain visas to non-Schengen countries, such as UK and USA.
Once clients have purchased their property, Saliena is the only developer in Latvia to offer a special range of services to create a great lifestyle for all residents:
- Creating a friendly community is very important, especially for international families who might otherwise feel isolated. Saliena organizes regular community events for all residents. These include the Saliena beer festival, Spring clean-up ‘Talka’, organic market, Halloween competition, Christmas events, New Year fireworks, Golf events and more. A Facebook page and regular newsletter keep residents updated about these events, with additional information about local activities and project news. Saliena community events are extremely popular and offer residents a chance to meet each other and relax in a fun environment.
- Warranty up to 25-years on all new homes. Saliena is a long-term developer and its head office is situated within the development, offering peace-of-mind and after-care for buyers.
- Saliena is one of the few developers to offer a 24-hour security service. Guards patrol the area and monitor with CCTV, ensuring the safety of residents and property.
- Saliena keeps all public areas tidy, clean and well-maintained. It also offers ‘Golf Estate Service’ for residents – supplying staff and equipment for house maintenance, cleaning, gardening and babysitting.
International families who travel frequently can enjoy peace of mind as their houses are cleaned, maintained and kept safe whilst they’re away. Saliena also offers free Wi-Fi for all residents – perfect for occasional residents who don’t need a full-time Internet contract.
International families may also buy a Saliena property for investment purposes, or buy with a view to renting out at a later date. For those families who choose not to make Saliena their main home, Saliena offers a Property Management service. A dedicated team will find tenants, arrange rental contracts and manage the rental on behalf of the non-resident homeowner.
As well as the above services offered by Saliena, international families also benefit from Saliena’s ideal location:
- The International School of Latvia is just a 5-minute walk from Saliena. Founded in 1994, this independent, non-profit school offers the International Baccalaureate Program for children of all nationalities from 3-18 years old. The school recently moved to a brand new purpose-built facility with gym, catering hall, sports fields, and large classrooms equipped with the latest computers, digital projectors and smartboard technology.
- Riga International Airport is a 10-minute drive from Saliena, perfect for frequent travelers.
- Saliena is also very close to Jurmala beach resort, Riga city centre, large shopping malls, Saliena Golf and various sport and leisure complexes.
