Method & Expertise

Who verifies your land, and how.

A land verification is only worth as much as the person conducting it and the registers they actually consult. This page describes both, with nothing left vague.

M. Faye

Land expert, head of verifications

Mr Faye personally conducts TitreX verifications at the Land Registry (Conservation Foncière) and the cadastral services in Dakar. Every file is consolidated by hand: no algorithm ever produces a conclusion about a title.

What we consult

  • The Land Registry, for the actual existence of the title and the identity of the registered owner.
  • The cadastre, to match the official plot outline against the boundaries claimed by the seller.
  • Mortgage and seizure entries encumbering the title.
  • Inheritance proceedings or ongoing disputes reported on the plot.

From your case to your decision, in 4 steps.

Land in Senegal is often negotiated for tens of millions of FCFA. A double sale, a forged deed, or an unsettled inheritance can cost you that entire amount. A professional verification, on the other hand, costs only a fraction of that investment and can save you from losing it all.

  1. 1

    Fill in the form below

    Your first and last name, phone, email and the region of the land. If you have a photo of the document or its number, add them: otherwise leave it blank, it's not a blocker. Two minutes is enough, and you immediately receive your case number by email.

  2. 2

    An expert calls you the same day

    They explain what will be checked, give you the exact price for your land and answer your questions. You then decide whether to go ahead: nothing is committed or paid before your approval.

  3. 3

    Our experts verify the land

    They travel to the site and consult the Land Registry: document authenticity, identity of the real owner, disputes, mortgages, unsettled inheritance, flood-prone or non-buildable zone.

    You receive your report

    A clear PDF within 72h: the land's rating (from AAA to D), everything we found, and our final recommendation. You know exactly whether you can buy or not.

The 4 types of land documents in Senegal

Not all papers are worth the same. Click a document to understand what it's really worth and what to check before buying.

Land Title (TF)

AAA

Absolute, final, and unchallengeable ownership right. The most secure asset on the market.

State Lease

BBB

Very long-term lease. The State remains the owner. Requires a strict transfer procedure.

Municipal Deliberation

CCC

Municipal attribution deed. High risk of expropriation if not registered with the State.

Private Agreement

D

Informal neighborhood document, no notary. Zero legal value on registered land. Avoid.

What our report is not

The TitreX report is an advisory document to support your decision. It is neither a notarial deed nor a binding legal opinion, and it reflects the state of the registers at the time of verification. Definitively securing the sale and transferring ownership require a Notary.
