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

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

"1. It is important to research the local laws and regulations regarding property ownership in Cameroon 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 will provide proof of 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 potential risks associated with the purchase of the property, such as environmental hazards or political instability. 7. It is important to be aware of any potential risks associated with the financing of the purchase, such as exchange rate fluctuations or interest rate changes. 8. It is important to be aware of any potential risks associated with the maintenance of the property, such as the cost of repairs or the availability of services," wrote a member who made the move to Cameroon.
