Owning land with an “old type” title in Jamaica — such as a deed title, Crown grant, or Commissioner of Lands holding — can be tricky when it comes to transferring ownership. In this episode, we break down how the process works under Jamaica’s modern Torrens title system, why you can’t sell or transfer land directly from an old title, and the crucial steps needed to convert it into a registered title. You’ll learn how to protect yourself from legal risks, why banks won’t finance unconverted properties, and how the National Land Agency (NLA) can help you regularise your land documents. Tune in to understand the right way to make your property legally transferable and secure.
