Common mistakes
- Writing the name in lower case. Question 1 asks for block letters.
- Property details that do not match the title deed. Copy the registration, plot, sheet/plan and extent from it.
- Leaving out the bank statement asked for in question 9.
- Skipping question 15 when the seller is also a foreigner. The District Officer asks for the number and date of the seller's own approval.
- Filing at the wrong office. The form goes to the District Administration of the district where the property is, not where you live.
- Treating the permit as a guarantee. The note says the Government takes no responsibility for the contract between buyer and seller.
Questions
Where do I submit Form Comm. 145?
To the District Administration (District Officer) of the district where the property is, together with the documents listed on page 3.
Can I buy from a seller who is also a foreigner?
Yes; question 15 asks for the reference number and date of the approval under which that seller acquired the property.
What if I buy through a company?
Question 19 covers buying shares in a land-holding company, and item 10 of the documents list asks for the company's certificates, articles of association and staff details.
Does the permit protect me if the seller breaks the contract?
No. The form's note says the arrangements up to the transfer at the District Lands Office are between you and the registered owner, and advises applicants to seek legal advice.
