Buying land without being there: check before you pay.

A partner surveyor checks the boundary markers, the size and who is using the plot. An agent checks the papers with the land offices. You get a signed report before you pay the seller.

A bare plot of red laterite with concrete boundary markers painted red on top, surrounded by unfinished cinder-block walls and dry trees, under a harmattan sky.
Before you pay the sellerA report signed by a professional, in your vault.

How it works

What Teewal does for you

  1. You send what you have

    Location, site plan, title or document number, the seller's name.

  2. The surveyor goes on site

    Boundary markers, size, access, neighbours, any building work or occupation.

  3. The papers are checked

    An agent checks with the land offices, where the documents allow it.

  4. You get the signed report

    What is in order, what is not, and what to check before you sign.

You pay for the check, not the land.Teewal never carries or hands over money for anyone. The price of the land is settled between you and the seller.

Questions

Common questions about buying land

Does the Teewal report replace the title deed?

No. It is proof signed by a professional, useful before you buy. The legal title is still registered with the land offices.

Can you pay the seller for me?

No. Teewal never carries or hands over money for anyone. You only pay for the job. The price of the land is settled between you and the seller.

What do you check in the papers?

That the document exists and matches the plot and the seller, where the land offices allow it. Every country has its own papers: land title, deliberation or deed of sale in Senegal, lease in The Gambia…
