Here is a sure way of buying land if you are based in the diaspora.
Directly contact a reputable company
The world is now a global village and information is readily available on social media, blogs, and websites. Look through the various websites and social media pages and give more attention to the feedback given by clients.
Cross check details
Always seek to ascertain the information given on the website by contacting a relationship manager in your select real estate. Read through the terms, conditions, and policies around the purchase process to ensure you are well informed before making the final purchase decision.
Avoid companies that deliberately inflate prize
You may navigate through a company’s website and identify a project of your interest but when you contact a relative or a real estate company you are informed of a different price. Always stick to a company that has an online purchase system that does not change the pricing and allows you to make a direct transaction without extra charge for being a diaspora client.
Allow your friends to play a supervisory role but not decide for you
You may allow your friends attend site visits and open days but ensure you have direct contact with the investment company from where you can deposit your payment and receive scanned receipts and your friend takes the hard copy. Create a balance between the two and ensure you are the final decision maker.
Ensure you sign the legal documents and receive your title deed personally. Land transfer is a process that is regulated by the law, ensure you fill in an offer letter, sign sale agreements and land transfer forms. These documents can be shared to you directly on email for signing, this ensures the process you have undertaken is within the law. The availability of international courier services also provides you with the opportunity to personally receive your title deed.
