What is a Sectional Title?
The Sectional Properties Act no. 21 of 2020 (the “Act”) was enacted into law for the purposes of creating sectional titles. Sectional titles are individual titles for units within a development which includes residential apartments, offices, townhouses, maisonettes and complexes. Sectional titles can be created for both freehold and leasehold land. Prior to the enactment of the Act, ownership over individual units was procured through long term leases which would be registered with the Registrar of Lands under the mother title of the property.
