Real Estate in Uganda
Last updated on Jan 04, 2024
Summary: An expat looking to buy a home in Uganda should start by researching the different areas of the country and the types of properties available. It is important to consider the cost of living, the local infrastructure, and the availability of amenities in the area. Foreigners are allowed to own property in Uganda, but there are certain restrictions. For example, foreigners are not allowed to own land in Uganda, but they can purchase a house or apartment. Houses in Uganda typically include basic amenities such as running water, electricity, and a kitchen. Some houses may also include a garden, a garage, or a swimming pool.
How do I find a place to live in Uganda?
We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:
"One of the best ways to find a place to live in Uganda is to search online for rental listings. There are many websites that list available properties in Uganda, such as Jumia House, Property24, and Private Property. Additionally, you can search for rental listings on social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter. You can also contact local real estate agents who can help you find a suitable property. Additionally, you can ask friends and family who live in Uganda for recommendations. Finally, you can also look for rental listings in local newspapers and magazines," remarked one member in Uganda.
