Answer this Question

When we asked expats what advice they would give a foreigner before buying a property in Somalia, they said...

"1. It is important to research the local laws and regulations regarding property ownership in Somalia before making any purchase. 2. It is also important to be aware of the security situation in the area where you are looking to buy property. 3. It is advisable to hire a local lawyer to help you with the legal aspects of the purchase. 4. It is important to ensure that the property is free from any liens or encumbrances before making a purchase. 5. It is also important to be aware of the local customs and traditions when buying property in Somalia. 6. It is advisable to obtain a title deed for the property, which will provide proof of ownership. 7. It is important to be aware of the taxation laws in Somalia, as this may affect the cost of the property. 8. It is also important to be aware of the local infrastructure and services available in the area where you are looking to buy property," wrote a member who made the move to Somalia.
