45:00 NO ma'am you are NOT sounding negative. You are speaking FACT and REALITY. Airbnb is why St Ann is now in a SOE . I know someone whose house was burndown and almost killed because they complained about loud parties next door at 4 in the morning. The scammer who leased the luxury house and scammers who rent it regularly are friends with police who do nothing about these undisciplined people. They think their 2 night rental gives them the right to do shoot outs in your neighborhoods. Yes people are buying up Jamaica but the scammers are the ones who have the money to buy next door and rent next door. So as the saying goes...yes it might be gated ...but who is behind the gate...???
Anywhere you live in the world you always have to spend time to check out whoever does your business for you. Its not enough to pick someone just because its a friend of a friend. Not saying that happened in this case but its just something everyone should bare in mind. Plus like everywhere else, to get safe good service you have to be ready to spend extra
Wow!!! Greetings from NY, Winthrope Thank you for this video and thank you Mrs Gray for a very informative discussion and tips I LOVE IT...when I'm ready to do business in Jamaica u will be on the top of my list. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! 🇯🇲🖤💚💛
In the US people are only disciplined because the enforced laws and the police make them so. Thats the problem with Jamaica at the moment. NO consistent enforcement of laws.
Hey Throp! I'm SOOO looking forward to this! It's weird how I've been following you for a WHILE and I never saw the notifications for this Conference.... Thx for the re-air! I re really appreciate all you're doing for us "Diasporans." I'm looking forward to the day when everything is in place for me to return bcs #NohWeyNuhBettaDanYaad Thx again! Blessings!💙
I know someone who paid an so called attorney for a long-term rental in Kingston who had an office on Hope Road collected rent for a year and told the person to collect the key on the day of moving in well here's where it gets scamming when he went to move in there where 3 other families moving in at the same time..Than they all realized that they were all scammed .They went to her office location, and it was Empty cleared out gone, and this office was right across from a government agency...knock knock, that's how clever this woman was, saddly, they all lost their money's....Why are Jamaican so wicket with no shame they're all going to Hell ..I wonder sometimes if the government members are gaining from all this because it's embed in some of their DNA out in the open without consequences...🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
My goodness! I really enjoyed this discussion. I like the lawyer's transparency and humility; she not afraid to say that she doesn't know something. I wish her all the best in her legal practice.
Thorp thank you so much, really enjoying these informative videos. Education will help reduce some of the madness that goes on with dead left properties, real-estate etc.
If someone builds a house on land they already own, How can you show ownership of the house? Would there be a Deed or Title? They already have the Land Title, but how can you tell who owns the house. Would the contractor who build the house have documents to show who paid them to build the house? I am really in the dark about this. Any help would be appreciated.
Please do not share the attorney, I made that mistake, my attorney was friends with the seller and I was not represented properly, especially when dealing with a property breach.
Regarding adverse possession - I am a real estate agent in Virginia - and adverse possession/squatters right is allowed here. If a person/squatter meets certain criteria (varies from state to state) they may take legal possession of the property...the take away is begin vigilant in property management.
That was a great talk. Especially about the HOA. That’s really big here in the states. But it’s only gonna thrive there. If you have the right tightknit community to make it all thrive and work and be cohesive. So that gentleman asked a pretty wise future thinking question.
I thought about that question too. Aren’t the owners responsible for paying the maintenance fee for Their property’ whether they want to ABnB it or not?
What if the executors live abroad and have no intention of returning to Jamaica - how do you get squatters out of your property, also no rent is being paid to you or anyone else? 🤔
In a situation like that report the Lawyer to the Bar Association and they don't play, I have seen Lawyers loose their practice because of unfair or unethical business practice.
They do it to my too now I have to come in Jamaica to get it sorted out my brother got kicked off my mother land and there is a will, how can this happen??
My 71 yr old brother has always lived in the property in which he was born. This property was owned by our grand mother and mother, who died 1970's & 1980's respectively.Crucially there was no Will. My brother has always paid the land tax and maintains the property to a good standard. My question is what is his legal position?
I am not a lawyer, but here goes-Adverse repossession. Basically, it’s a law in Jamaica that states if a person is living on a property and pays the taxes for 12 years, they can submit an application to the Land Agency for a title for the land. He will need to get an attorney to do this. Adverse repossession is a controversial subject in Jamaica. Two weeks ago in the Sunday Gleaner, a policeman owned a 1/2 acre property in the very popular Cardiff Hall area of St Ann. Along came an overseas investor who wanted to purchase the property; the policeman admitted he had not paid taxes on the property for 8 years, so he rushed to the tax office to pay the arrears, anticipating a windfall after he sold it. The title to the property was not on the tax office’s records. A call over to the Land Agency revealed what happened-Someone else had paid all the due taxes, made application for title to the property and it was granted. The policeman’s title was “extinguished” and he no longer owned the property. To make matters worse, the Land Agency can no longer find the application paperwork that was filed for repossession of the property. It has been said that people inside either the Land Agency or the tax office has been leaking records of properties around Jamaica where the taxes have not been paid for years to certain individuals; and those individuals are legally applying to repossess them. Good luck.
@@gbb82 Somebody is going to get shot. You dont run joke wid people property. And by law the person who paid the taxes and now own the property will be living on pins and needles as vengence is now brewing,
@@alfa_romeo55yush82 Are you joking? Many people have already been killed….Two weeks ago, a husband and wife were killed in Manchester because of fighting over land; they were killed by a family member no less. Sadly, this is becoming normal in Jamaica.
if you have a will in Canada and you have a property in a gated community . If the parents has passed what is cost to transfer the title into the kids name? Is there any capitL gain tax? What is the percentage?
