Know the questions that matter.
Land-sale problems can involve competing ownership claims, unclear authority, mismatched boundaries and payment terms that leave a buyer exposed. The right starting point is to establish the facts for the property you are considering.
Who can sell it?
Check the owner and the authority of anyone negotiating or signing. Family or inherited land may involve more than one person.
Understand ownership and titleIs it the same plot?
Match the paperwork to the land on the ground, including boundaries, access and occupation.
Read the land-buying risk guideCan I use it as planned?
Investigate the permissions, restrictions, site conditions and services that affect your home or project.
Assess a building plotWhat happens to my deposit?
Agree the recipient, conditions, payment stages and what happens if checks are unsatisfactory.
Plan costs and payment termsPROPERTY SUPPORT & LEGAL ADVICE
A clear role for each professional.
Gambia Property Sales helps you set out a buying or selling enquiry and identify the next practical step. Search, introductions and marketing arrangements are agreed for the particular instruction.
Solie Law Chambers can be approached separately about title, contracts, conveyancing or a property dispute. The firm confirms whom it can represent, the work and fees before accepting instructions. A property introduction is not confirmation of clear title.
HOMES, LAND & COMMERCIAL PROPERTY
Choose for the life or business you are planning.
A home in Fajara or Kololi, a compound around Brufut, a plot in Sukuta or Sanyang, and a rural project each raise different practical questions. Compare the individual property, access and services with your intended use.
Ask for current availability and written details. Historic listings, prices and photographs need reconfirming before travel or a commitment.
