Understanding Your Ownership at Skyrise: Clear and Secure

Uganda welcomes foreign investment, and property ownership for expatriates is well-defined by Ugandan law. Here’s what you need to know about owning your Skyrise apartment:

• The Condominium Advantage: Skyrise Apartments are sold under the Condominium Property Act, 2001. This is great news for you! It means you receive a clear, individual Certificate of Title for your specific apartment unit. This title is legally recognized, registered, and freely transferable, giving you secure ownership.
• Leasehold Foundation for Expat Ownership: Generally, Ugandan law reserves outright (freehold) land ownership for its citizens. The most common and secure way for expatriates and foreign-controlled companies to hold property interest is through a leasehold system, often for terms like 49 or 99 years. For Skyrise, as with many high-quality condominium developments catering to an international clientele, the underlying land on which the entire project sits will typically be held by the developer (RFDevelopers) under such a leasehold. Your individual unit title is then derived from this, secure for the term of the lease.
• Shared Spaces, Shared Responsibilities: As a Skyrise unit owner, you'll also be part of the Condominium Corporation (an Owners' Association). This body, made up of all unit owners, manages and maintains the common property – the beautiful landscaped gardens, the swimming pool, gym, security systems, and other shared facilities – ensuring the high standards of Skyrise are always upheld.

Your Smooth Journey to Owning at Skyrise:

RFDevelopers, backed by the decades of proven experience of Kings Developers and Fairdeal Properties (who have completed over 60 high-end projects in Kenya), is committed to making your purchase process transparent and straightforward. Here are the simplified steps:

Discover Skyrise: Explore our detailed brochures, virtual tours, and connect with our sales team. We encourage a site visit to truly experience the Kololo ambiance and see the quality of construction.

Legal Due Diligence: We recommend engaging a reputable Ugandan lawyer. They will verify all documentation, including the developer's title and the condominium plan, ensuring everything is in perfect order for your peace of mind.

Sale Agreement: Once you’re ready, a clear Sale Agreement will be drawn up, outlining all terms, the purchase price, and the payment schedule (remember our flexible 40-month plan!).

Payment & Title Transfer: Follow the agreed payment plan. Upon completion, RFDevelopers will facilitate the transfer of the unit’s Certificate of Title into your name.

Key Financial Points to Note:

• Stamp Duty: When you purchase your Skyrise apartment, a one-time stamp duty (currently 1.5% of the assessed property value) is payable to the Uganda Revenue Authority (URA).
• Rental Income Potential: Should you choose to rent out your Skyrise apartment, Kampala's strong demand for luxury rentals in Kololo offers excellent income potential. Rental income is taxable in Uganda, and our team can guide you to resources for more information.
