Really helpful, hopefully the procedure is still the same in 2024... Thanks for everything

[@brianhatimbula1992]

Good explanation I ñeed land I will start with a small one. I have a dream real estate. Thanks for the update.

[@naongakalumbi8670]

Thanks for the information. Where I am, northern province, the chief gives a certificate of ownership, signed and stamped.

[@MatildaChungu]

I think that works fine if it secures the land in the area.

[@georgechilumbu1800]

This was so helpful, but i feel like the process is long and the cost can amount to a state land ( statutory land)

Approximately how much can the whole process take to finish the transition

[@MatildaChungu]

It depends with the surveyor you find, the size of your plot, location of your plot etc.

[@evansmweshi6906]

Great information

[@MatildaChungu]

You are welcome

[@aaronmbuzi3369]

Very helpful. Though I would like to find out how long it takes for the titling for the traditional land to state land takes ?

[@MatildaChungu]

From my experience, you have to exercise patience

[@aaronmbuzi3369]

@@MatildaChungu oh and this may be a silly question but does one need to know local languages when buying land traditionaly

[@MatildaChungu]

@@aaronmbuzi3369 Glad you asked... There is no need but it would be to your advantage (case in example are the Chinese, they make sure to learn the local language so its easier for them to get things done)

[@birgitahkalawa2332]

How i wish I saw this this before I bought 😪 but after paying the money for purchasing then I was told not develop the land until I pay the chief through the headman for loyalty fees which is k1500 per hectare! Pls guide me because I feel that headman is playing games on me

[@MatildaChungu]

Hi, sorry for your experience. Send me an email on [e-mail]

[@bamideleolora6923]

Does traditional land have annual property taxes? And are there building permits? Lastly, what percentage of people convert traditional land into state land?

[@MatildaChungu]

1. not to the state, maybe to the local leaders if they have that in place.
2. yes you can get a building permit in Zambia
3. a lot of people convert to state land

[@mizingahimbotwe5152]

Thanks Matilda needs help

[@MatildaChungu]

LOL I'm glad to be of help

[@Milele]

Overall how long does this whole process take??

[@MatildaChungu]

It will take you more than a month because of the different stages and also you may not be available for a particular date and you may need to postpone some things so it is hard to say the exact time you will take

[@chamwaza7]

After all the legal expenses to get a title on traditional land doesn't it amount to the same cost as statutory land

[@MatildaChungu]

Yes, more or less

[@bobpineapplesafrica170]

I will get in touch

[@chamwaza7]

Is traditional land the same as farm land?

[@MatildaChungu]

Not exactly, Traditional land is land that is not on title

[@masihirshad9820]

Pakistani ppl can buy land in city for bakery business plz?

[@MatildaChungu]

I believe they can.

[@georgekumakanga717]

Can a Malawian buy land in Zambia?

[@MatildaChungu]

As an investor yes

[@erictherealtor1831]

Can I as a foreigner buy traditional land?

[@MatildaChungu]

Yes you can

[@MatildaChungu]

And there are some requirements you must meet

[@nkhosiamankhosi1454]

According to Zambian laws a foreigner can not outright own land.
You can buy land as an investor with an investment of $500k or more but further requirements still follow. For instance the $500k is for an investment license but you must satisfy authorities that the said company is going to be a functional entity.
