More than ten hectares of land are for sale at Pk 12, in the Génie Militaire area of Douala. The listing says the land is titled and can be subdivided: you can buy a plot from 500 m², at 70,000 FCFA per square metre, which comes to 35 million FCFA for 500 m².

The tarred road is about 200 m away. The streets leading to the land are dirt, as the photos and the video show, with houses and buildings under construction all around. The listing describes the land as close to the city.

The area, the price and the subdivision come from the seller’s listing. We have not checked them yet. The title number, the site plan and the owner’s name are still to be obtained, and we check them at the land registry before any payment.

What to check before buying

• The land titleA 500 m² plot only gets its own title once the original title has been subdivided. The seller must be able to show that title, and a surveyor marks out your plot before signing. How a subdivision works.
• The sellerWe check who owns the land and who has the right to sell it, heirs included if the title is still in a deceased person’s name. Buying when the owner has died.
• Who is on the landPeople are already building all around. Before you buy, we check that the plot is free and that no neighbour has built on it.
• AccessBetween the tarred road and the land, the track is dirt for about 200 m, going by the listing and the images. Look at its state in the rainy season, especially if you plan to build.

How the purchase works

1. You choose the area

   Tell us the area you have in mind, from 500 m², and for what project. We send you the site plan as soon as the seller has given it to us.

2. You see the land

   A site visit with us, or a live video tour on WhatsApp if you are abroad.

3. We check the file

   Land title, a recent certificate of ownership from the land registry, the seller’s mandate: everything is checked before you pay anything.

4. The notary prepares the sale

   A surveyor marks out your plot. The notary drafts the deed, and the money goes through the notary, never in cash to a go-between.

5. The title passes to you

   Your plot is split off from the original title by subdivision, then receives its own land title, in your name. How a subdivision works.
