Real Estate in Congo
Last updated on Mar 02, 2024
Summary: An expat looking to buy a home in Congo should start by researching the local real estate market. They should contact local real estate agents and inquire about available properties. It is also important to research the local laws and regulations regarding foreign ownership of property in Congo. Foreigners are allowed to own property in Congo, but there are certain restrictions. For example, foreigners are not allowed to own land in Congo, but they can own buildings and other structures. Additionally, foreigners must obtain permission from the Ministry of Interior before they can purchase a property. Houses in Congo typically include basic amenities such as running water, electricity, and sanitation. Many homes also have access to internet and cable television. Depending on the location and price range, some homes may also include additional amenities such as swimming pools, air conditioning, and security systems.
How do I find a place to live in Congo?
We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:
"Finding a place to live in Congo can be a challenge, but there are a few options available. One option is to look for rental properties in the major cities such as Kinshasa, Lubumbashi, and Mbuji-Mayi. You can also look for furnished apartments or houses for rent in the smaller towns and villages. Additionally, you can look for shared housing options such as hostels, guesthouses, and homestays. Finally, you can also look for short-term rental options such as Airbnb or Couchsurfing," said one person in Congo.
