{UAH} HOW TO BEAT THE FRAUD ON THE LAND SALES IN UGANDA

HOW TO BEAT THE FRAUD ON THE LAND SALES IN UGANDA
To guard the public against land fraudsters, the land ministry has the following advice to people who want to buy land:
-Visit the land you intend to buy and physically inspect it.
-Talk to people in the vicinity of the land in order to confirm that the purported seller is indeed the owner of the land. If there are any disputes, do not buy the land.
-Meet the actual owner of the land and not merely his or her purported agent.
-Go with the owner of the land or their representative to the land registry to verify the land in question before you pay any money.
-When going to the land registry, insist that the owner carries the original land certificate and not a photocopy. Many of the enhanced features of the land title are not reproduced on the photocopy. If you carry only a photocopy, there will be no way of knowing that the title from which it was copied was genuine.
-Hire a registered advocate to do the land transaction on your behalf because it is a technical process. However, do not surrender any original documents to them as this exposes you to fraud.
-Insist on verifying the land title with the land registry at the ministry of lands before you pay.
-Transfer the title of the land into your name as soon as you purchase the land.
-Do the transfer process yourself.

Allaah gives the best to those who leave the choice to Him."And if Allah touches you with harm, none can remove it but He, and if He touches you with good, then He is Able to do all things." (6:17)
