Guides

Buying property in Ethiopia

These guides explain the parts of an Ethiopian property purchase that buyers most often get wrong: which documents exist, what a verification check does and does not cover, and how to read price evidence. They are general information, not legal or tax advice.

• Buying a condominium in Addis Ababa

  What ownership documents exist for condominium units, which checks matter before an offer, and how payment is controlled through a partner bank.

• Choosing a neighbourhood in Addis Ababa

  How to compare sub-cities and neighbourhoods using recorded sale evidence rather than asking prices, and what the price index can and cannot tell you.

• What commercial property costs in Ethiopia

  How commercial, office, mixed-use and warehouse property is priced per square metre, and which figures are strong enough to rely on.

• Renting and leasing property in Ethiopia

  Who you should be dealing with, deposits and advance rent, what belongs in a tenancy or commercial lease, and renting safely from abroad.
