Establish Title Deeds

Once you have decided on a piece of land that you are interested in buying you should try to get written verification of ownership of the plot from the Alkalo. You can have a Gambian lawyer to examine the ownership documents in detail. (this is optional)

Customary Tenure

Preparatory Work

1. Check with neighbors next to and near the land you want to acquire if they know who owns the property.

2. Go to the Alkalo of the village to determine from him or her who currently owns the land.

3. Ask the owner for photocopies of the papers for the plot, especially the receipts relating to "rates payment" for the previous and current year.

4. Check with the relevant area council who owns the property, and also show them copies of "receipts for payments of the rates" (this would show who is the current owner of the land in a direct way since the name of the rate payer is the name of the person who is stated to be the owner of the property.)

5. After determining who the owner is check their "original ID card" or passport against the name of the "Transfer of Ownership Form."
