📖 Practical Guide to Real Estate Conveyancing in CAR
Purchasing property in the Central African Republic—especially in the urban perimeter of Bangui (Begoua, Bimbo, Ombella-M'Poko)—requires thorough due diligence. The only instrument providing permanent and irrevocable legal title is the Titre Foncier (TF) issued by the Conservation Fonciere under the Ministry of Finance and Budget.
Prior to disbursing acquisition capital, the buyer must require the notary to obtain an official title search (requisition d'etat) verifying that the real estate is entirely unencumbered by mortgages, judicial attachments, or pending boundary litigation.
