Making the decision to acquire land is the best choice that can be made. The realization of this project requires the search for a site adapted to the predefined needs. In this phase, very often, people are deceived and undergo the stress of administrative procedures because they do not control the operations of the real estate sector. To be safe from these risks and difficulties, you must have a real estate professional by your side who will decide for you. These provisions are grouped into four stages:
1. A visit to the plot
You must go down to the site to appreciate the intrigue (place, shape, surface etc.).
2. Identification of information concerning the plot of land
If the parcel of land is in a subdivision, obtain the land title number from the seller or the owner, block number, lot number, area, and owner’s name. If it is the subject of a total transfer, the land title number is enough. Check the existence of this information at the local cadaster service
3. Meeting a professional
To ensure that the plot of land corresponds to the land title (document guaranteeing the right of the owner), the professional checks that there is an agreement between the geographic coordinates present on the papers and those on the plot; also ensure that the fragmented parcel has an approved plan of subdivision.
4. Legal verification of the property
Obtaining a certificate of ownership (an official document demonstrating ownership of a property, whether it has been bought, given, inherited, etc.) from the real estate service. It must be duly signed by the local land registrar and has a validity of 3 months from the date of issue.
In addition to the identity of the owner (s) on the certificate, check that it is not encumbered with real rights or charges. (Partial or total), mortgage (financial or legal) or declaration of public utility and so on.
Thanks to these arrangements, you may be happy to have found the land that meets your expectations.
Surely, you have already asked yourself of what a real estate developer really is. So, we propose to give you some important details about this impressive activity. A property developer is one who accompanies the various municipalities in the development of the city in a sustainable manner by building quality housing that meets the expectations of users. In a practical way, he acquires, determines, and manages the budget; His mission is to find the land, then to file the building permit; He is in contact with the architects to draw up the project plans. He also promotes, rents, and sells the land.
Concerning this job, the most important thing is to know how to surround yourself with the right people, with technical knowledge. Above all, a good promoter must be a good manager. Secondly, he must be very rigorous, he must be able to ensure that delivery deadlines are met. Moreover, in addition to being creative and passionate, he must also know how to remain patient, as he deals with operations that take time and are part of a long process.
It must not lose sight of a fundamental goal, which is to build the city to give to many people as possible the opportunity to become homeowners.
By observing members of the diaspora, we find that they are reluctant to carry out real estate projects in their country of origin. This reluctance comes from the fact that, living abroad, they have very often been disappointed by the people to whom they have entrusted the management of their projects. However, behind this disappointment, should not hide the decision to refuse to invest again at home in real estate, because in Africa and more precisely in Cameroon, we have professionals who carry out your projects in safety. To reassure you, you must appoint a representative who will be your eyes and ears throughout the procedure. This is why SAI La Toile proposes to accompany you in the realization of your real estate project. Regarding the search for a plot of land:

The real estate sector is an attractive, dynamic, and lucrative sector which requires a structured organization. This rigor is not observed in Africa and in Cameroon in particular. Therefore, many people are dissatisfied with the completion of their real estate projects. Given the complexity and opacity of this sector, it is essential, even imperative, to be accompanied by a professional. What is a professional?
A professional is a natural or legal person, recognized by the State who accompanies you in the security of the realization of your real estate project. He has responsibilities to assume as well as the duty to provide satisfactory work. Among the different trades in this sector, we can cite two main ones:
The property developer
He sells spaces built or ready to build. Thanks to its expertise in the availability of real estate (land, houses, etc.) and regulatory aspects, it is easier to find land corresponding to its needs via a real estate developer.
The real estate agent
He is the intermediary between seller and buyer for all types of real estate transactions (purchase, sale or rental of land, buildings, etc.). It informs both the buyer and the seller on all regulatory, technical, and legal aspects.
Being accompanied by a real estate professional protects us from difficulties such as:
Scams (forgery and use of forgery, forgery in writing, etc.)
Multiple sales of the same good
Cumbersome and slow administrative procedures, etc.
