What is the difference between Minhal land and land registered in Tabu?
Transferring title in the tabu is far easier than transferring title in the Minhal. With the Minhal, the drawn out procedure can delay the completion of the transaction for weeks, if not months. Another point to remember is that the land held by the Minhal is leased to the apartment owners and they do not have a freehold in the apartment. While it is true that the Minhal renews these leases, the fact remains that a tabu apartment, which has free hold, is usually worth more on the market than an unregistered apartment. A tabu property often sells at two percent over the price of an equivalent Minhal apartment.
