What do I need to know when buying property in Tanzania?

Answer this Question

When we asked expats what advice they would give a foreigner before buying a property in Tanzania, they said...

"1. It is important to research the local laws and regulations regarding property ownership in Tanzania before making any purchase. 2. It is advisable to hire a local lawyer to assist with the purchase process and to ensure that all legal requirements are met. 3. It is important to obtain a title deed for the property, which is the legal document that proves ownership. 4. It is important to be aware of any taxes or fees that may be applicable to the purchase of the property. 5. It is important to be aware of any restrictions or limitations that may be placed on the use of the property. 6. It is important to be aware of any zoning regulations that may affect the use of the property. 7. It is important to be aware of any potential environmental issues that may affect the use of the property. 8. It is important to be aware of any potential risks associated with the purchase of the property," explained one expat living in Tanzania.
