Hi,
I bought a plot together with the 54 x 38 feet, the seller introduced me the land owner who has the title, the land owner welcomed me on his land, and told me to arrange and buy off my self from land, that bring a surveyor , we survey and make a print from where he will tell me the price to pay , then he make a transfer of that particular area in my names.
Inquiries , is it possible, people say you can’t get any tittle unless you buy 16 decimals .
Kindly advice please.
In kampala the minimum area to get a title is 15decimals outside kampala it can go as little as 11decimals

Thanks for the information.
Just asking can I get a land tittle for this size of land
49Ft X 75Ft X 64 Ft X 91Ft.
Also I bought this land from the father who sold it on behalf of his son but did not give me the agreement on which he had given the land to the son. I feel a bit insecure that this son may in future claim this land using the agreement on which the father gave him this land.
pliz advise me
Hi Betty, you are in trouble if both the father and the son do exist, bring your sell agreement and we help you. look for an ngo called African Fraternity for Justice peace and devt. you will be assisted at a minimal pay. or contact that lawyer called Kawuki – 0772558879 he saved my family.
Betty if the land is for the son, then the sales agreement should bear the sons name(the land owner) otherwise your sales agreement can easily be disputed
Its best you get the sales agreement in the land owners name
