PROPERTY FORUM: DO YOU SUE A RELATIVE WHO ABUSE THE MONEY YOU SENT TO ZIM FOR THE PURCHASE OF YOUR IMMOVABLE PROPERTY?

When your relatives in Zim say “ its now at roof level” yet the foundation is
growing grass!
The tragedy of many diaspora property investors is that of misrepresentation by the very people they trust – their relatives.  I have come across many cases, one of them is of an uncle to whom money was sent by a nephew to purchase a property in Harare he purchased this house but he put his name as the owner instead of the nephew. He later sold the house and used the money.

Other relatives probably including your parents would recommend that no legal action be taken because the person involved is an uncle. I am however, of the opinion that these relatives should be sued so that there is a deterrent to would be offenders. What do you think yourself? Please feel free to also share your own experience in this matter.

This may mean repeat business that can support your enterprise for years because these individuals have the money that does so. It can also mean lucrative capital profits for sellers or large commissions to estate agents when they purchase high value real estate in affluent locations like Borrowdale in Harare. Some are tenants who have the capacity to pay monthly rent of at least US$1 000.00 exclusive of City Council rates without fail. This rent will mean a handsome commission of US$150.00 per month for property managers that will also come without fail. But these people will not just give you this great business for nothing because they have their own special needs that must be met by you and a sane real estate player will do everything reasonable to win or return this valuable class. One need that virtually all of them want to be met by the property is security. This makes sense because these individuals have very valuable assets like jewellery, sports cars and merchandise about whose security they lose sleep. So if your property has security amongst its features then I guess you would have acquired for yourself a license to print money for a while.  More ...
