For international buyers

How buying in Zanzibar works.

Foreigners can hold Zanzibar property through the official Land Transfer Board. We walk you through every step so the process is transparent and secure.

1

Find & view

We shortlist properties to your brief and arrange viewings — in person or by video if you are abroad.

2

Offer & reserve

Once you choose, we negotiate terms and prepare a sale agreement with the seller and a lawyer.

3

Land Transfer Board

We submit your application to the Zanzibar Land Transfer Board for the required approval of the transfer.

4

Handover

On approval, the title is registered in your name and the keys are yours. We stay on hand afterwards.

This is a general overview, not legal advice. Exact requirements and timelines depend on the property and your situation — we coordinate with an independent lawyer on every transaction.
