Secure your Real Estate Market Investment with KPG.
The Real Estate market has grown in Uganda over the last decade tremendously, with a boom in both the commercial buildings, residential buildings, affordable homes and condominium ownership regimes.
Whereas Real Estate market stalwarts can assert and say that the Real Estate Market is still at infancy, it has registered an incredible 5.6 percent growth over the last five (5) years. With everyone’s eyes set on the Real Estate industry as an investment,
KPG as a Real Estate Company has redefined all odds to set professional standards that cater for all questions, inquiries and hesitations that property market developers meet in the running of their day to day errands.
With Real Estate Market and Development, everything starts with the outright ownership of land.
The Constitution of the Republic of Uganda which is the grand norm provides under Article 237.3. that, Land in Uganda shall be owned in accordance with the tenure systems including customary, freehold, mailo and leasehold.
The most common of these in our urban set up are the private mailo tenureship and leasehold tenureship, the former being owned in perpetuity and the latter having a duration of ownership that may range from 5-99 years.
Do you Have a Good Title?
Good title is the passing of an interest in land from that one registered proprietor to another.
Note however that once that registration of the interest isn’t done, then good title is deemed not to have passed.
What are the many advantages that are associated with having a title registered?
A registered title is manifested on the official record of the ministry of lands in as far as who the registered proprietor is and therefore this helps identify a parcel of land uniquely with its registered proprietor.
A registered title, is entered into the registry and records of ownership thus sending out complete information to wit,
- The registered owner’s name.
- Location, description and size of the property.
- Restrictive covenants.
- Easements for example a right of way.
- Mortgages, charges or liens.
- Caveats or any other competing interests.
When a title is registered, it is simple to understand, a deed of conveyance is more complex to understand.
And the banking halls are welcoming to persons with registered titles which they can use as collateral security to secure the finance.
As KPG, we always do due diligence for our clientele to ensure that the Good title which we intend to pass is title that is free from any encumbrances whatsoever.
Who does your Advisory and Assurance?
