Whether you work for donor projects (PRT, USAID, DOD, CERP and others), planning to buy real estate or are want to settle property claims of your family, a community or others, we can help you and the communities that may be affected by land disputes. We offer the following services involving land rights in Afghanistan:

Title Examination: Our staff members have gained an unrivalled expertise in searching and examining records from a wide range of sources – including courts, municipalities, ministries, cadastre and community councils. We know how to detect potential defects in titles and assist you with the management of competing claims or any restriction that may limit the ability of investors and returning Afghans to implement their projects.

Land Dispute Resolution: Three decades of instability have exacerbated land ownership conflicts and tensions among Afghan citizens. Most land conflicts affect informally or traditionally held properties and therefore do not fall under the jurisdiction of the Afghan Courts of Justice. We can assist you in solving such conflicts by providing legal counsel and mediation services among claimants and by implementing community-based approaches to negotiate solutions.

Land Planning: ALCO can assist land developers and urban planners in conducting topographical surveys and site planning with the view to develop residential, agricultural, industrial and recreational projects. We can collect a wide range of spatial data which enable land developers/engineers to develop technically, socially and economically viable designs for their projects.

Property Valuation: Assessing the value of real properties can be a very challenging task in Afghanistan as land markets mostly operate informally. We have developed a number of appraisal techniques that can be used to estimate the market value of urban and rural real properties in Afghanistan.

Educational Programs: We can organize training programs for your organization on the different aspects of land administration including: land survey and registration, land legislation, land use planning, property valuation and taxation. The lectures can be developed in-house and at your office for land lawyers, surveyors, property appraisers, real estate planners and developers, bankers or insurers and other actors who are directly or indirectly involved in Afghan land markets.
