It is important to visit a lawyer before buying a piece of land. A lawyer who specialises in real estate or property transactions will advise and guide you on the entire process of buying land and ensure your interests are protected.

The lawyer should then do due diligence on the land you wish to buy to confirm it has a clean title deed. They do this by conducting an official search at the relevant land registry.

A clean title deed is one where the land is not entangled in an ownership dispute. You can additionally confirm with the registrar of persons, the identity of the land owner. All you need is their National ID number.
