Buying & Selling Tips

 Mortgages

Mortgages from financial institutions are typically impossible to get.  If you are able to get one the interest rates will be very high. You may be able to arrange one through the seller. In general plan on paying for all property in cash.
 

Title

There are basically two types of property offered, registered and unregistered.  In the larger cities you will find mostly registered in the smaller areas unregisisterd.  All property can be registered and it is best if you buy property that is registered.  Though at times it may not be necessary.
 

Taxes

Typically you will pay a tax on property at the time of sale. In most municipalities you will also pay a yearly property tax.  Though by most standards they will be considered low.
