Lawyer Natasha Chiumya @chiumya_natasha of Diaspora Connect / Folotiya & Chiumya on the challenges for Zambians in diaspora to buy property in Zambia.
Pitfall 1. No title deeds: check that the property you are buying has a title deed or approved survey diagram. #ZambiansTogether

Pitfall 2. Buying customary land. Prices seem very low; improved road network, makes it attractive. Always proceed with caution as it is not properly delineated. Can be subject to encroachment. Process of converting in to title is long #ZambiansTogether #BuyingLandInZambia

Pitfall 3: Using unregistered/ unlicensed professionals. Always use property professionals. Vet them by asking for references and provide track record. Get a lawyer. Use a registered agent. Check with Zambia Institute of Estate Agents #ZambiansTogether #BuyingLandInZambia
