The price of land in Dodoma is negotiable (usually the price varies depending on the location). It mostly starts from £2-4 per square metre for plots which are far from the city centre and increases to £15-20 psm for the area close to city centre (let’s say areas with distance +- to 10km from city centre) buying a plot in the city centre will cost around £50-100 psm)

When the negotiations are agreed you will need to hire an advocate (lawyer) to prepare the sale agreement (here you can share the cost between both the buyer and seller of the plot). The lawyer's fee is also negotiable (a common price asked by  lawyers is 10% of sales but you can negotiate the lowest can). The agreement prepared by the advocate will be used to transfer the title deed ownership
