Land & Title Verification

Rwanda has the cleanest land registry in Africa. Every Kigali title is verifiable in 4 minutes on Irembo. Foreign 99-year leases, Kigali Master Plan 2050 zones, and rising diaspora demand.

Uganda has 4 land tenures dating to the 1900 Buganda Agreement: mailo (with built-in kibanja tenant rights), freehold, leasehold (max 99 years), and customary. Knowing which you're buying is non-negotiable.

In Tanzania all land is state-owned. Foreigners can only acquire a TIC (Tanzania Investment Centre) derivative title — a 96-year leasehold for investment purposes.

78% of Ghanaian land is stool/skin (chiefly) land. Verification requires Lands Commission search, indenture verification with the stool, beacons check, and engagement of a licensed surveyor.

Verifying a Kenya title deed: get the L.R. number, run an Ardhisasa online search, order a physical Lands Office search, check the green card, verify beacons, confirm succession status.

Verifying land title in Nigeria requires demanding the C of O, charting search, governor's consent check, survey verification, site inspection, neighbour inquiry, family land check, encumbrance check, and perfection.

Verifying land title in Africa means confirming the seller's name on the official register, matching survey to boundaries, checking for encumbrances, and validating government consents.
