Property Conveyancing & Registration Process in Eswatini

All transfers of Title Deed Land (TDL) in Eswatini must be formalized by an admitted conveyancer and registered with the Registrar of Deeds in Mbabane. The buyer is responsible for paying statutory Transfer Duty to the Eswatini Revenue Service (ERS) prior to registration.

If the purchase is funded through a financial institution such Bank, Nedbank, FNB, or EswatiniBank, a separate mortgage bond is prepared and registered concurrently at the Deeds Registry, attracting separate bond registration legal tariffs.
