I’ve been on Cession for a stand in Harare South for 10 years; the developer has disappeared, and the Council won't issue a Certificate of Compliance. Is there a 'Class Action' or legal route to force a Title without the original developer’s signaturer?

Neighbourhoods ranked by the Weighted Utility Index (WUI). We prioritise ZESA stability, borehole access, and road security over marketing hype.

How we rank suburbs

Every suburb is scored by residents on a weighted index — safety carries the most weight, followed by utility reliability (ZESA and water), road condition, and mobile signal. The split is each factor's share of the overall score.

I’ve paid my rates for a decade, built a full house, but I am 'ownerless' on paper because the developer never finished the storm drains. I can't get a bank loan because I don't have a deed. I’m searching for the Prescription Act or any 2026 High Court precedents that allow homeowners to bypass a negligent developer and deal directly with the Surveyor General and the Deeds Office.
