Before you hire a lawyer

  • How would you keep me updated?

  • Can we meet in person or remotely?

Costs and free help

Official charges and free public services

Property transfer tax on land
8% of realised value
Property transfer tax is charged to and collected from the person transferring the property. [3] [8] [6]

Questions about lawyer charges

  • Is there a charge for the first consultation?
  • How will you calculate your fee, and which stages will it cover?
  • Can you provide a written quote separating your fee, tax, government charges and other expenses?

Transferring a property with an existing title

  1. Request an official title search

    Lodge a signed written requisition at the registry, specifying the name to be searched or for which a search-result certificate is required. Pay the prescribed fee; the Registrar will carry out the search and issue a certificate of the result. [2]

  2. Apply for state consent

    Apply for the President's consent before selling, transferring or assigning land. For an application under section 5(1), consent is deemed granted if not granted within 45 days of filing. A person aggrieved by the President's refusal may appeal to the Lands Tribunal within 30 days of refusal. [1]

  3. Prepare the transfer deed

    For registration, the registered proprietor may execute a deed of transfer in Form 6, with modifications as the circumstances require. [2]

  4. Account for property transfer tax

    The rate in respect of land is 8% of realised value. [3]

  5. Register the deed within its deadline

    For a deed registered in Lusaka, register within 30 days of its date if executed there, 90 days from its date if executed elsewhere in Zambia, or one year from its date if executed outside Zambia. The court or land tribunal may extend time or authorise late registration. [4]

  6. Obtain the replacement title

    Where an existing certificate has been issued, the Registrar must call for and cancel it and issue a new certificate. Obtain the new certificate and keep it with the transaction records. [2]

Common questions

Does signing a sale agreement complete the title transfer?

The registered proprietor may execute a deed of transfer in Form 6 for registration. Where an existing certificate has been issued, the Registrar must call for and cancel it and issue a new certificate. [2]

What if the registration deadline has already passed?

Act promptly. A document required to be registered is null and void if it is not registered within the specified time, subject to relief. The High Court or land tribunal may extend time or permit late registration if satisfied that failure was unavoidable or special circumstances justify relief, and that allowing registration would cause no injustice. [4]

Do leases have the same tax and registration thresholds?

The Property Transfer Tax Act's land-transfer definition excludes letting or subletting, and leasing, underleasing or subleasing for less than five years. For a lease, agreement for lease or occupation permit lasting longer than one year, discuss registration. [4] [6]

How should two buyers record their ownership shares?

Decide how you want to hold the property before the transfer document is prepared. Ask about joint tenancy with a right of survivorship and how specifying each buyer's share affects that arrangement. [2]

Laws that may affect your matter

Presidential consent for land transfers
The requirement to apply for the President's consent before selling, transferring or assigning land. [1]
Lands and Deeds Registry Act, Chapter 185
Registration of documents, issue of provisional certificates and certificates of title, and transfer and transmission of registered land. The court or land tribunal may extend registration time or authorise late registration. [4]
Rate in respect of land
Eight percent of realised value in respect of land. [3]
