FAQ

The project proposes a furnished lodge with an individual long-term use interest in its allocated plot, targeting a 99-year term. The exact legal instrument, registration and purchaser eligibility must be confirmed through the individual Tanzanian authority process. TIC and land-right arrangements remain under review; no completed approval is represented here.

Central management by Mafia Island Accommodation & Selling Limited is part of the investment model, covering letting and resort operation. Ordinary self-management or separate third-party management is excluded. The proposed agreement also addresses a lawful replacement solution if the provider permanently cannot perform.

Under the proposed ten-year model, the provider covers normal operations, maintenance, repairs, replacement for ordinary wear and provider-arranged property insurance. Personal taxes, requested upgrades, buyer-caused damage and resale costs are separate. The actual policy determines insured risks, limits and exclusions.

First select a lodge and request a current written offer, plans, specifications, payment milestones and the individual legal and registration documents. Construction progress is documented with photos or video. Completion is followed by an acceptance inspection and written handover record. The final agreement governs the process.

The offered standard model provides a contractual yield from Mafia Island Accommodation & Selling Limited of 12% per annum of the regular lodge price, paid monthly for ten years. That is €450, €550 or €650 per month for the €45,000, €55,000 or €65,000 model. Payments start three months after the later of substantial completion and acceptance. Personal-use deductions, taxes and the final contract apply. This is the company’s obligation, not a separate bank guarantee.

These arrangements remain under review. Please request the current project documentation and the individual approval and registration position from our team before entering a binding commitment. Agreements are not currently published.

Letting is coordinated centrally by the provider. The offered 12% contractual model and its term are described on the price page; it is not an assurance of market performance or a separate bank guarantee. The final signed agreement sets the applicable rights and obligations.

The standard €45,000 one-bedroom model is proposed in nine instalments of €5,000 linked to agreed construction stages. Request the exact schedule, payment recipient, account details and any separately agreed protection mechanism in writing. Photos, video, remote inspection or a site visit can document progress; a trust-account arrangement is not confirmed by this website.

The proposed model allows either four weeks in low season or two weeks in high season per calendar year, subject to advance booking and existing guest reservations. No yield accrues for actual personal-use days. Please see the price page for details.

Yes. We offer a purchase payment option with monthly instalments of €1,000 arranged directly with our company, without a bank loan. The initial payment, number of instalments, construction milestones and handover timing are agreed in your individual written payment plan.
