Title & Legal
Registry searches, land certificates, encumbrance opinions and contract drafting.
The single largest source of loss in Cameroonian property is documentation, not construction. Our title desk runs registry searches, processes land certificates, resolves overlapping claims and drafts the contract you actually sign. Opinions are written to a standard banks accept as security documentation.

Questions we get
How long does a land certificate take?
Where the chain of title is clean, typically four to nine months depending on the land office. We report monthly with the file reference so you can see where it sits.
Will a bank accept your opinion?
Our opinions are written to the documentation standard the major local banks require for mortgage security, and we deal with their counsel directly where needed.
