Draft amendments for Condominium Act completed

Persons who have purchased duplexes or condominiums from the state would soon be able to access the titles to their properties as the draft amendments for the Condominium Act have been completed and are currently with stakeholders for analysis, Attorney General Anil Nandlall has announced. 

“The law in Guyana, that is to say the Condominium Act, is not designed to cater for condominiums in their modern format and also does not permit the grant of power to the Registrar of Lands to issue titles for condominiums owned in areas where the Registrar of Lands is the authorised agency to issue title,” Nandlall told Stabroek News in an interview.

To confront these difficulties and to lay the foundation for the construction and the selling of condo accommodations, the Ministry of Housing and the Attorney General’s (AG) Chambers are “working together to draft new legislation and regulations for the sector,” Nandall explained.
