Competent Registry: Fako Divisional Land Registry & Cadastral Survey Office (Buea) (South-West Region)
Buea is the capital of the South-West Region of Cameroon, nestled on the fertile eastern slopes of Mount Cameroon (Fako Division) at an elevation of 870 to 1,200 metres. Celebrated for its cool highland microclimate, historic colonial heritage, and status as a premier university and tech hub ("Silicon Mountain") anchored by the University of Buea, the city attracts steady year-round demand for student housing, executive villas, and commercial complexes.
Urban development in Buea stretches along the main highway corridor from Mile 16 (Bolifamba) and Mile 17 through Molyko, Bunduma, Bonduma, Great Soppo, and Clerks Quarters up to Buea Town and Bokwango. Molyko and Bomaka represent the most active investment zones for multi-unit student hostels, modern studios, and retail plazas, while Federal Quarters, Clerks Quarters, and GRA Buea host prestigious diplomatic residences, administrative villas, and quiet family estates.
