The demand for Faroese real estate among foreign investors is at an all-time high, newspaper Sosialurin reported this week.

However, the housing register, which registers all real estate transactions, contains scarce information about property investors from overseas.

The register does not have a digital search function which can easily identify foreign house owners.

New and improved housing register

Statistics Faroe Islands also has no information about how many non-Faroese citizens own properties in the Faroes.

But, according to the government’s new housing package, this information is likely to be made available to the public soon.
