But if you got your title long ago, no one can stop you from selling your land because it is less than 50 by 100. You can sell and transfer your title.
There are fellows who get titles for smaller parcels by greasing some hands but the title will read 50 by 100 (in ha). There is always the word approx before the size after all.
In such case, will the title be valid, out of ignorance
Yes!!! 100% valid. If someone bought a plot when 40 by 60 was a 'legal' size, you don't expect him to get 10 by 40 extra from outer space. Neither do you expect him/her never to sell or transfer the land. After all, you cannot recall the title.
Those who grease hands make sure the plot is larger than 40 by 80 but smaller than 50 by 100. It is next to impossible to get away with 40 by 60!! Last year there was a time they were too strict that ANYTHING less than 50 by 100 was not being cleared. I know of companies that had to re - subdivide their land again, have the buyers add more money and look for alternative for the guys who missed.
Unless these 40 by 60 fellows got their titles (early) 2013 or earlier, there is something very fishy!!!
Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.
