3/ Property for sale in Mozambique

In 1990, Mozambique was estimated to be the world's poorest nation; since then, the country has been in transition toward a more market-oriented economy and the prospect of raising its standard of living.

Mozambique was considered bleeding edge in terms of its emergence as a property and tourism market following on from years of local conflict – but now that the nation is peaceful it is rising up from years of neglect as yet another dream African destination.

Now Mozambique is turning out to be one of Africa’s major success stories. With incentives such as major privatization programmes involving the banking sector and state-owned manufacturing companies, with the elimination of subsidies and quantitative restrictions on imports and an economy which continues to show a healthy growth rate, many investors from outside the country are turning their attention to Mozambique’s property market as an excellent investment opportunity.

One of the main drivers behind the rising property growth rate is the land law which is currently changing with the introduction of property financing by the Bank of Mozambique and Standard Bank.

As in many other African states in Mozambique all land is vested in the state which has laid down guidelines for licensing and land use. In brief, the only title recognized is one of usufruct for an agreed term of years and all transfers are subject to state authorization. The purchase of freehold beach land for private use is therefore not possible.
