Land acquisition in Tanzania requires diligent due diligence. Whether you are purchasing residential plots in Kihonda (Morogoro) or beachfront land in Kigamboni (Dar es Salaam), verifying the survey plan number, beacon coordinates, and Right of Occupancy deed is vital.
### Step 1: Official Cadastral Search
Always request the official Survey Plan (Town Planning / TP Drawing) and cross-check beacon coordinates using licensed land surveyors.
### Step 2: Ministry of Lands Title Search
Conduct an official land registry search to ensure there are no encumbrances, bank caveats, or unresolved boundary disputes.
### Step 3: Formal Sales Agreement
Execute a legally binding sales agreement witnessed by registered Advocates and the local Ward Executive Officer (Mwenyekiti wa Serikali ya Mtaa).
