Frequently asked questions

Answers to common questions about property in Uganda, our listings, and how AMDERN PROPERTIES SMC LTD works.

How do I buy property in Uganda as a foreigner?

Foreigners can buy property in Uganda on a leasehold basis (maximum 99 years) for developed land, or acquire freehold for up to 50 acres. We recommend working with a verified lawyer to handle the transfer and land title registration at the Ministry of Lands.

What documents do I need to view a property?

Bring a valid ID (national ID or passport) and, if financing, a pre-approval letter from your bank. For land viewings, we also recommend having your surveyor or legal advisor present.

Are your listings verified?

Yes. Every listing goes through our verification process, including title searches, ownership checks, and physical inspection by AMDERN representatives. Verified listings display a shield badge.

How much deposit do I need to buy a house?

Typical deposits range from 10% to 30% of the purchase price, depending on the seller and your financing arrangement. Our team can negotiate on your behalf.

Do you help with mortgage applications?

Yes. We work with partner banks and SACCOs to help clients access financing. Use our mortgage calculator to estimate repayments, or contact us for a referral.

What areas do you cover?

We operate across Kampala, Wakiso, Mukono, Entebbe, Jinja, and expanding into other regions. Use the location filter on our search page to browse by area.

How do I list my property with AMDERN?

Click 'List your property', fill in the details, and our team will review within 24 hours. Basic listings are free; premium placements include verified photos and priority placement.

What is the difference between leasehold and freehold?

Freehold gives you full ownership indefinitely. Leasehold gives you the right to use the land for a fixed period (e.g., 99 years) after which it reverts to the original owner unless renewed.
