Many Zimbabweans living abroad can buy houses back home through new programs. Banks and builders have created plans just for people who live in other countries but want property in Zimbabwe. These programs help make homes cheaper for everyone, whether they live inside or outside the country.
Before you spend money on any house or land in Zimbabwe from another country, check whether it comes with title deeds or just a cession agreement. Most buyers miss this critical difference when shopping long-distance. Title deeds let you fully transfer the property into your name as the official owner.
Land with title deeds moves completely to the new buyer through official papers like deeds of grant or transfer documents. Cession agreements work differently - the property rights pass to you, but the official ownership stays with someone else. Local governments like Harare, Bulawayo, and Gweru hold onto many properties that they only offer through cession rather than full transfer of ownership.
