Study and Resolution of Legal Obstacles for Foreign Investment in Iran’s Real Estate

Economic globalization has resulted in an increased competition between the countries to improve their economic indexes. Analyses performed by prominent economists indicated that foreign investment is one of the most sustainable and reliable resources for the economic infrastructure development and production potential enhancement, which can alleviate the economic problems caused by shortcoming of domestic investment resources. The significant role of Iran’s real estate market in investment stability and preservation of property value that emerged from the socio - economic and legal texture of the country, as well as the considerable population growth that resulted in a profitable real estate investment, have drawn the attention of the foreign investors to Iran’s real estate market. Recent manuscripts have investigated the legal obstacles for foreign investment by individuals and legal entities in Iran’s real estate based upon Islamic Jurisprudence, national security, and legal references, subsequently, verified practical and realistic solutions to the aforementioned predicament.
