LAND SURVEY:
The land must be surveyed by a licensed surveyor to determine its boundaries and size.
This is essential for creating a cadastral map.
LAND REGISTRATION:
The surveyed land is registered with the Ministry of Lands.
The registration process includes verification of land ownership, ensuring that the land is not subject to any disputes or claims.
This document contains details such as the owner’s name, the parcel number, and the size of the land.
AGREEMENT OF SALE:
The buyer and seller agree on the terms of sale and sign a sale agreement, which should be witnessed and, ideally, prepared by a lawyer.
LAND CONTROL BOARD CONSENT:
For agricultural land, consent from the Land Control Board is required.
This board ensures that the land transaction is in line with the policies governing land use and ownership.
STAMP DUTY:
The buyer is responsible for paying stamp duty, which is a tax levied on the transaction.
The rate varies depending on the location of the land.
TRANSFER DOCUMENTS:
The buyer and seller must complete and sign transfer documents, which include the transfer form, title deed, and a valuation form.
