DiasporaWhere the demand is
Douala and Yaoundé have the deepest rental markets, especially for furnished apartments. Buea, Kribi and Limbe are growing with students, tourism and new infrastructure.
Budget the full cost
Beyond the purchase price, plan for notary and registration fees (often around 10–15% of the price), agency fees, and renovation or furnishing.
Build or buy?
Building can be cheaper per square metre but needs trusted supervision on site. Buying an existing, verified property is faster and easier to check remotely.
Manage it from abroad
Use a verified property manager or a trusted professional for rent collection, maintenance and tenant issues — with written reports, not promises.
General information only, not legal advice. Check current rules with a notary, lawyer or the relevant office.
