A COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE TO REAL ESTATE TAXES IN UGANDA.
Real estate investment in Uganda can be a profitable venture, but it is essential to understand the various taxes that come with it. Taxes such as property rates, withholding tax, and stamp duty can significantly impact an investor's financial bottom line.

WHAT DOES THE HOLY QURAN SAY ABOUT THE REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY, AGENTS, REALTORS, AND BROKERS?
Real estate is a critical aspect of human society, providing shelter, security, and a place to conduct business. As such, it is natural to wonder what guidance religious texts offer on this essential part of life. The Quran, Islam's holy book, provides profound insights into various aspects of life, including the ethical and moral principles that should guide real estate dealings. While the Quran does not specifically address real estate in the modern sense, it does offer valuable principles that can be applied to real estate transactions and ownership.
The Concept of Stewardship (Khilafah).In Islam, the concept of stewardship, or Khilafah, is central to the understanding of property and land ownership. The Quran emphasizes that everything on Earth belongs to Allah, and humans are merely trustees of the land.

REAL ESTATE AGENT COMMISSIONS, ARE THEY JUSTIFIED OR EXCESSIVE?
Buying or selling a property is a significant financial transaction, and for most people, it's one of the most substantial investments they'll make in their lifetime. When engaging in the real estate market, many individuals seek the assistance of a real estate agent to navigate the complexities of the process. However, one aspect that often raises questions and sparks debates is the commission structure that agents charge for their services. Are real estate agent commissions justified, or do they lean towards being excessive? In this blog post, we will delve into the topic and explore both perspectives.
Understanding Real Estate Agent Commissions
Real estate agent commissions are typically calculated as a percentage of the final sale price of a property. The industry standard can vary, but it often ranges from 3% to 10% of the sale price.
