Frequently asked questions
Can I buy without travelling to Burkina Faso?
Yes. The live video tour lets you see the property, and you can sign with a notarised power of attorney. We explain the steps for your country of residence.
How can I be sure the property exists and is not sold twice?
You see the property live during the video tour, we check the document and the deed is signed in front of a notary. The “Verified” badge on a listing shows the checks already carried out.
Which currency are prices in?
Prices are in CFA francs (FCFA). Euro amounts use the fixed rate 1 € = 655.957 FCFA; dollar amounts are indicative and depend on the day's rate.
How long does a purchase take?
It depends on the property document and the steps required. We give you a realistic timeline from the start and keep you informed at every step.
This is general information. The exact steps (power of attorney, fees, timelines) depend on your situation: they are confirmed in writing and by the notary before any commitment.
