The Société nationale immobilière (SNI) of Gabon has initiated the sale of developed plots in Makokou, the capital of the Ogooué-Ivindo province in northeastern Gabon. This move is part of the SNI's land development program aimed at several interior cities. The program seeks to provide plots within a formal administrative framework, ensuring the legal security of purchases and the establishment of land titles.
According to the SNI, the price of a plot is set at 3,000 FCFA per square meter. For a 500 square meter plot, the total cost would be 1,500,000 FCFA. Potential buyers have the option to pay the full amount upfront or choose an installment plan that can extend up to 24 months. For instance, a uniform payment over 24 months for a 500 square meter plot would equate to 62,500 FCFA per month.
To apply for a plot, applicants must submit several documents. These include a copy of their birth certificate, proof of employment or a statement of presence at their or their spouse's workplace, the last three salary slips for salaried individuals, proof of income for non-salaried individuals, and the last three bank account statements. The process begins with filling out the SNI's plot attribution request form, available at the SNI's Likouala office in Libreville or on their website.
Following the submission of the application, the SNI will review the dossier and possibly present it to the attribution commission. If successful, the applicant will be informed of the financial conditions and required formalities. The process continues with the payment of required fees and the signing of a contract. This structured approach aims to secure the legal status of the land transactions.
The Makokou initiative is part of a broader SNI program that includes several cities in Gabon's interior, such as Port-Gentil, Mouila, Tchibanga, Makokou, and Ndendé. Through this program, the SNI aims to offer developed plots within a formal administrative framework. The goal is to ensure the legal security of acquisitions and the establishment of land titles in accordance with prescribed formalities.
The SNI's program is designed to provide a structured and secure environment for land purchases. By offering plots in various cities, the SNI is working to address the demand for secure and formally recognized land ownership. This is expected to contribute to urban development and planning in these areas.
The launch of plot sales in Makokou represents a significant step in Gabon's efforts to formalize land ownership and promote structured urban development. The SNI's initiative provides potential buyers with a secure and transparent process for acquiring land, which is essential for both residential and commercial purposes.
