Titan Law was proud to participate in the Zimbabwe Real Estate & Tech Summit (RETS 2026) as the Lead Sponsor, reaffirming our commitment to shaping the future of real estate through legal innovation and technology.
A key highlight of the Summit was the presentation delivered by our Partner and Head of Conveyancing & Real Estate Development, Kelvin Sabao, on “Securitisation of Title Deeds in Zimbabwe.”
In his presentation, Kelvin unpacked the evolution of Zimbabwe’s land administration system from its paper-based origins to the current challenges of fraud, fragmented records, and inefficiencies that have long affected the property market.
He further explored the transformative impact of Statutory Instrument 76 of 2025, which signal a decisive shift toward a secure, digital, and more reliable property registration system.
Key insights from the presentation included:
• The risks inherent in the traditional deeds system and the rise of double sales
• The importance of restoring trust in property ownership through securitisation
• The legal and compliance framework for validating existing title deeds
• A forward-looking solution through a proposed Unified Cession Ledger to integrate informal property rights into the formal economy.
At Titan Law, we believe that the securitisation of title deeds is more than a regulatory development; it is a critical step toward unlocking economic value, enhancing investor confidence, and driving sustainable growth in Zimbabwe’s real estate sector.
We are honoured to contribute to these important conversations and remain committed to providing forward-thinking legal solutions at the intersection of property, finance, and technology. We extend our appreciation to the organiser Propertybook and all stakeholders who made the Summit a success.
