More people are buying land in Zimbabwe these days. Some buyers can pay the full price upfront when they sign the sales papers, while others need to pay in smaller chunks over time.
If you pay for land bit by bit, you should learn about Section 64 of the Deeds Registries Act. This law covers land sales with payment plans in Zimbabwe. When the property has official title deeds, both you and the seller must agree to add a special note on those papers.
Why is this important? Signing purchase papers doesn't make you the actual owner right away. You must complete the official transfer process first. The Section 64 note acts like a safety lock on the title deed during your payment period. It blocks the seller from selling that land to anyone else before you finish paying.
This legal shield helps people who pay in stages. It keeps their money and future rights safe during all the months they make payments. Without this mark on the deed, they might lose everything they paid, plus the land itself.
