The guide
Everything we wish someone had told us.
Practical writing about buying property in The Gambia from abroad what the process actually involves, what it costs, where things go wrong, and how to avoid the mistakes that catch most diaspora buyers.
01
Written from experience
We bought here ourselves and we work on Gambian purchases every week. Everything on this page comes from what actually happened, not from research.
02
No selling in the articles
The writing is the writing. If you read a piece and decide to handle your purchase entirely yourself, that’s a good outcome you’ll do it better than you would have.
03
Updated when things change
Registry processes, costs and areas all move. When something we’ve written stops being true, we go back and fix it rather than leaving it up.
