Real estate markets face intermediary risks in Kairouan and N’Djamena

Real estate markets in Kairouan, Tunisia, and N’Djamena, Chad, are facing challenges related to property transactions and the role of intermediaries.

In Kairouan, a growing market driven by infrastructure projects has led to an increase in real estate agencies and independent brokers. Experts suggest that buyers should prioritize agencies with deep local knowledge of neighborhood price variations and full transparency regarding commission fees to avoid amateur intermediaries.

In N’Djamena, particularly in peripheral areas like Toukra and Koundoul, land buyers face significant risks from fraudulent brokers. Rapid urban expansion has created a high-demand market where some intermediaries engage in multiple sales of the same plot or provide invalid documentation. Some victims report discovering that land they purchased has already been sold to others or that brokers disappear immediately after receiving payment.
