The Land Question
In Ethiopia, land is state-owned. Investors don't buy land; they buy lease rights. Understanding the nuances of the Urban Land Lease Holding Proclamation is critical to securing your investment.
We help developers and foreign investors navigate the complex bureaucracy of land administration, ensuring that your lease holding certificate is valid and secure.
Due Diligence
Before you sign a lease transfer agreement, we verify the "cleanliness" of the title. We check for liens, court injunctions, and third-party claims that could invalidate your rights.
