I was talking to my family last night and saying we need to know all the additional costs for buying land and I woke up to this 👆🙏😁
The universe heard you 😄🙏🏿
I have another video on the additional cost of building as well.
@@zandelasjourney Will this video be uploaded soon?
Right on time
Good lord I’m tied and confused. This defo needs a step by step guide/downloadable document.
100%
😖
Yeah that’s a lot, almost makes you not want to do it.
houseofhairuk London lol. Yeah the process is crazy huh
By making this video you are saving the years of toil and savings of so many people returning diaspora africans who have gone out to the Gambia and got ripped off and hoodwinked. You have done a very responsible service to many of us returning.
Thank you
This is why I purchased my land from a real estate, I don't need a massive land and I really don't want the extra stress!
I hear you but also the process by doing it yourself informs you of alot of things but if I was to buy land again I would use someone to do it as it was long but I got to know where places are and met great people along the way
This will be a good job for a competent meticulous diaspora returnee to take on. Clearing land for other diasporans, for a fee
I agree
@@zandelasjourney I recommend you 100%. I hope you can assist me in the near future 🙏🏿I live in London UK. Your braided hair is popping! 😍
OMG 😲 😱 I'm saving this video because I can't remember all this information. It's a lot going on.
Miranda Covington exactly
Miranda Covington Screen shot the description cause it’s allot 👍🏾
Oh boy! I'm sweating profusely just listening to that processing. Thank you very much Zandela, you're a real trooper. The best info about obtaining a land in Gambia I have seen so far. Keep it up girl, you doing great.
You are the only real one representing us repats to The Gambia when it comes to Land buying process. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH ZANDELA!!💖 You are truly righteous person, you will go far the Most high is watching and protecting the righteous ones. Not the fake pro black CZcams persona land scamming.
A lot can be cleared up if people just listen👂🏾to each step you broke down in this video. Realistically this is a long and lengthy process that needs plenty of attention to detail. You are a fantastic role model, I will come out to The Gambia and follow my money and the process. Many more will cry because they didn’t listen and have now ended up being ripped off and/or scammed. Let it be a lesson that you must listen👂🏾instead of letting the scammers hype and rush you to buy land you haven’t seen. What type of nonsense is that?🤷🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️>>> What’s done in the dark will be revealed!!! Timing is a wonderful thing! ⏰ is ticking. PAPERWORK SHOULD BE IN YOUR 🤲🏾 in 5-10 WEEKS YOU SAY🤔 Not 1 year still waiting😕
I agree with you 100% too many people are currently being scammed and told lies about the stage of their land process. when I think of some of the stories I’ve heard just in last 3 months on land issues it turns my stomach just thinking about. I honestly wish I had posted this video when I found out the full process months ago or some people had just listened to me, looked closely at the video of their land to see no electricity poles for miles, no one for miles or listened their gut and waited (cheapness can be dear in the end) I still have people messaging me saying they have never been but want to buy land can I help. I’d love to help but my pressure couldn’t handle me being a part of something that may go wrong with people’s money and dream of moving back one day.
These steps are long and can be even longer if you don’t have connections but we 100% need to know so when are land paperwork is taking 5months that could have taken 8 weeks we can take back our paperwork and do the process ourselves. Thanks for commenting & Stay blessed 🖤🙏🏿
@@zandelasjourney I can only just imagine the types of stories you are hearing 🤦🏾♀️ do as much as you can but do not stress yourself, a lot of this is simple common sense. Let this be a lesson to those that need to learn it. I have been seeing crazy behaviour being displayed on CZcams. All you need to do it get online and say keywords like AFRICA or GAMBIA and people nose dive into the comments talking about can you get me land👀 WHAT?!?🤷🏾♀️ When the reality is that most people can’t even trust family and friends in back home countries but you are fully trusting a random CZcamsr with buying you unseen land, This is madness! It will not end well, I predict the S will hit the fan before 2020 is out. Some are buying land and they have never even step foot in the country 🤦🏾♀️ GROWN PEOPLE some of them even own property in the west and should know better. I feel there is a lesson to everyone looking and those that have lost money. I always follow my intelligence rather than leading with emotions. The scammers are using the pain and struggles black people face being in the west for their own financial gains. So sad tbh. This will shatter a lot of dreams. But scammers are everywhere you must use your discernment and intelligence to avoid utter gutter people and their nonsense. THANK YOU 👑💖👑 Keep being ROYAL!
If you're waiting that long something is DEFINITELY wrong. It probably means that at the time you paid for the land the "seller" did not officially own the land because he hadn't paid the full price to the original owners. Lots of scams going on whereby a number of plots of land have to be 'sold' in order to pay the original owners, who until this is done will not transfer to the "seller" who can, in turn, only transfer to you once he/she becomes the owner. Sometimes they never get the land transferred to them and the buyers therefore never get their paperwork.
All sorts of excuses are given for the delay, most of which is BS because they will never want you to find out the real reason.
There is a hell of a lot of scheming and scamming going on in land sales in The Gambia because it's one of very few ways in which people with relatively little education, skills, expertise or capital can make a lot of money.
I have considered Ghana and Gambia, but will look further. Thanks for raising awareness.
It's a lot to do but the piece of mind afterwards is worth it.
you are so right
Very insightful!
You've just helped many people.🎖

Nice details

Thank you
Thank you sis
Good job sister
Very clever sister
Thank you 🙏
How are you Sis?
Very helpful information. If you happen to have a website that would be great. If should you have folks that are trained to assist people with this service for a fee. It would be extremely helpful for many.
I’m working on it but I also feel that the physical need to address process to many people get put off by the process and get scammed with this system..
Absolutely! Thank you so much!
@@zandelasjourney Hi Zandela. Thank you very much for creating this step by step guide to purchasing land, its very much needed !!! Do you have contact details, or email address so we can contact you for further info in relation to the buying process . Thank You
@@r2splashyy992 good afternoon. This is exactly what I’m working on right now. Creating a land process team xx
@@r2splashyy992 I’ll keep everyone posted as been working on it for a few months but have to make sure it’s all 100% professional and right
Wow!!!! Your experience was far different from my dad's and my aunts. Super complicated! There is definitely a difference with government lease land, much simpler.
Thank You so much 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Thank you I am looking to purchase land early in the year
Congrats. I wish you all the best. If you have any questions you can email me zansecka1@gmail.com. I don’t like to recommend land sellers but could connect you with someone who does. Now you know the process you could do what’s needed to not get caught out. Xx
Hi zandela thank you for the interesting information💎🙏🙏 as a young Gambian I didn't know this. it would be great if you have a video about the cost in total in the process and how much you need to pay in fees and documents and investigations
Thanks you so much good jod
Thank you for the information. Clearly well. Explained. Please post. Off. These information f
Dom bai keep it up secka alieu
Your a gem
Your so Gambian ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
God Bless
yes it is very confusing. i have saved this video for when i am ready to purchase land in the gambia
In the US it’s called a site survey. It shows property lines of deeded property.
Yep same as in the U.K.
Zandela's Journey Thank you for keeping us up to date on the process of purchasing land. It’s a lot of paperwork.
Thank you 🙏🏾 so much for sharing this valuable information with us all. You are awesome. Thank you for all that you do to help others repatriate back to the continent💐
Thank you so much. The process is very similar to that of the Caribbean. Can you do a title check to confirm who owns the land?
Currently only after you do the local transfer (pay for land) which is a very tricky system. It should be possible to get confirmation of anyone that owns the land. Like a land title or deed that is public information
Hi Zandela, i absolutely love ur channel. You give such good informative information and it’s really helpful to someone like myself who has never been to Africa or even abroad for tht matter but who is interested in coming. I really appreciate the time you’ve taken to put these videos together to make our transition easier. Is there contact information you can provide for those of us who have additional questions that are a bit more in depth? I would really appreciate that...thank you.
Hey Sis, thank you for your kind comment. You can contact me via Instagram or email me at zansecka1@gmail.com c
Zandela's Journey thank you 😊
I am thinking about moving to Gambia & would love to be employed by or help establish a team to help with these investigations. I have over 7 years of analytical and investigative experience and would love to do it again to help others! We should connect soon. I am planning a visit for the beginning of the year.
Is a lawer needed then as I was told we should get one as witness, or just the investigators from planning?...I'm guessing we have to pay to get them to investigate before and after then as you said they normally only check it out after you've paid for the land, and they have transfer? I'm probably confusing myself here sorry! I've been unsure since 2016 but I think I'm going to do it.
💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Thanks for this thorough breakdown! QUESTION: is one required to pay a fee for each stamping/signing/approval process?.
Yes you do pay for each stamp from Alkalo, CEO, chief etc
Lord they need to improve their processes 😭😭
Good information, I'm looking to buy land in Gambia 🇬🇲. Was thinking of doing this through a 3rd party. Not sure if this is wise decision at the moment, but having this insight into the process, is fantastic. Thank you.
Be very careful when buying land even if you go direct to seller. So many just too many stories. I’m in the process of creating a service to help diaspora buy land safely. I’ll keep you all posted xx
@@zandelasjourney thank you, really appreciate it, please keep me informed.
Just wait for Zandela! And also maybe take a trip to Gambia! There are too many sharks just swiping people’s hard earned cash. Buying Land not seen is never wise, this is like begging scammers to come and scam you. No matter how good they are with they lips and pro black persona! Just wait you will be thankful you waited. Zandela truly a Righteous one!! 💖🙏🏾
@@royalrising2790 I agree! People for some reason feel confident like it’s a done deal cos they sent someone to just look at the land on their behalf 🤔 that means NOTHING I could look at land for you today or send someone and you could be standing on TDA land, land in dispute, the ex president land or even worse about to buy from someone who is not even the owner. Once you go yeah looks great, green, trees beautiful 👍🏾 they get hyped part way with thousands then take local transfer to start official transfer process and be told this land is TDA, it can’t be sold to diaspora, the name on here is not the owner of these coordinates. You try find the man who sold it he has disappeared or you do find him but the money has gone. Taking him to court will cost you double to end up with nothing. 💔💔💔 makes me so so angry and sad. I feel to do a video on typical land scams or at least what I’ve seen in just 3/4 months.
@@royalrising2790 👍💖
Hi Zandela, I was watching your video on your land and I must say "you are rich".
Successful in business, Wise on investments maybe but rich not there yet but I’m working on it 🖤🙏🏿🖤
@@zandelasjourney you already have money 💰 on your land, you just need to harness it.
Truth
@@zandelasjourney you can start a mango 🥭 farm. I am not sure what else you have on the land but you certainly have enough mangoes to start making money straight away. I researched such business development when I went to Gambia, so, if you are interested I can give you more information.
I would defiantly be interested. Mango season is soon over after rainy reason but I can prepare for next year. Thank you 🙏🏿 zansecka1@gmail.com xx
Thank you so much. This was so informative. We are in the U.S. and in talks with a local man and a real estate agent about buying land. We have the money but honestly are scared of blindly buying. Would it be usual or reasonable to ask the real estate agent to get the physical planning dept. to accompany him to the land so we can find out the history/use/ownership/availability of the land? We don't know anyone personally in The Gambia to ask this favor of.
Not a good idea to get the agent to do it as they could get anyone to provide you with anything. Never a good idea to get someone who benefits from the sale to do an investigation for you, in my opinion. If you send me an email I can give you more details of service that can help. Zansecka1@gmail.com before you part way with any money even a deposit get an independent investigation.
Wow. Thats complicated. Are there solicitors to assist or guide us through this process.
Thank you. I wonder how long does it take... a month?
Can you do the running around and get paid for it?
