Land tenure is obtained through usage rights and not traditional ownership. All land in Mozambique is state-owned, so both local and foreigner buyers merely own the right to use the land, initially for a period of 50 years (renewed every 50 years). Property on the land itself does not fall under this lease basis however, and thus can be sold, transferred or rented.

Mozambique has an interesting history, being under Portuguese rule for over four centuries before gaining independence in 1975. A protracted civil war soon followed, ending in 1992. Since then, the country has emerged as one of the world's fastest growing economies, which has seen major property development taking place over the last few years. The official language of the country is Portuguese but English is also widely spoken. Why not find out a bit more about property in Mozambique below?
