Sectional Property Registration
A prerequisite for Sectional Property Registration is a desire to do so by the developer or current sub lease owner
SECTIONAL PROPERTIES ACT (No. 21 of 2020)
The Sectional Properties Act (No. 21 of 2020) was enacted into law on December 11, 2020. The new Act provides for the division of buildings into units to be owned by individual proprietors based on a sectional plan prepared by a surveyor.
The Act requires conversion of all long-term sub-leases intended to confer ownership of apartments, flats, maisonettes, town houses, villas, go-downs or offices that do not conform to Section 54(5) of the Land Registration Act, 2012 within two (2) years of the commencement of the Act.
Members of the public are therefore notified that the Ministry of Lands & Physical Planning shall no longer register long-term leases supported by architectural drawings with effect from 10th May 2021.
