What is Real Estate Law?
Real Estate Law governs the ownership, use, and transfer of real property, including land, buildings, and associated rights. In the Republic of Cameroon, Real Estate Law is guided by:
- Ordinance No. 74-1 of 6 July 1974, which establishes land tenure systems and protects ownership rights.
- OHADA Uniform Acts for matters such as lease agreements within the business environment.
- International standards, which provide additional frameworks for resolving cross-border property disputes or investments.
Real Estate Law ensures the lawful transfer of property, proper documentation, and protection of rights for buyers, sellers, tenants, and property owners.
