The Harare Town Clerk reported plans to remove over 22,000 illegal structures across the capital. People need to take careful steps when buying land or homes in Zimbabwe. First, buyers should check if sellers have proper title deeds for their property. They must also look for approved building plans from local authorities. Checking ownership through the Deeds Registry Office helps avoid problems like disputes or double sales.
Buyers and sellers need clear written agreements about price and payment terms. A lawyer should help prepare these documents correctly. The seller must also have tax papers from ZIMRA showing that all taxes have been paid. After payments finish, the buyer receives legal ownership documents from the Deeds Registry. The final step transfers utility accounts like water and electricity to the new owner.
