Owning land in Zimbabwe is a significant milestone. At Kundai Property Development, we specialize in making this process accessible, affordable, and transparent for everyone, including our diaspora community. This guide outlines the essential steps and legal requirements to help you secure your future home.

1. Selecting Your Stand

The first step is choosing the right size for your needs. We offer stands in 200sqm, 250sqm, and 300sqm. Consider your budget and the type of starter home you wish to build. Use our online calculator to estimate your monthly installments based on your preferred deposit.

2. Verification and Due Diligence

Before making any payment, it is crucial to verify the legal status of the land. At Kundai, we ensure all our stands have clear provincial and council approvals. You are encouraged to verify these details with the relevant local authorities to ensure peace of mind.

3. Agreement of Sale

Once you've chosen a stand, an Agreement of Sale is drafted. This legal document outlines the terms of the purchase, including the price, payment schedule, and the responsibilities of both the buyer and the developer. Ensure you read and understand every clause before signing.

4. Making Payments

We offer flexible payment plans designed for the mass market. Payments are typically made via bank transfer or other secure platforms. For diaspora clients, we provide receipting and regular updates to ensure your investment is tracked accurately.

"Let's own a house in Zimbabwe" is more than a slogan; it's our mission. We believe that affordability should never compromise the legality and security of your property purchase.

5. Construction and Progress Reports

For those who choose our construction add-on services, we provide weekly progress reports. This is especially valuable for diaspora clients, as it offers total transparency through photos and detailed updates on the building progress of your starter home.

6. Title Deeds

The final step in the ownership journey is the processing of Title Deeds. Once the full purchase price and any relevant fees are paid, the transfer process begins. This gives you full legal ownership of the land under Zimbabwean law.
