Testimonial for Opal S. Hay-McClure
Real Estate Dealer

Being in the real estate field, I am always encountering issues like lost titles, unregistered properties, adverse possession amongst others for which my advice is always being sorted.  I am a frequent visitor to NLA website for information therefore on one occasion when the NLA workshop advertisement popped-up; I clicked on it to get more information.  I was interested from that moment but it took one year before I was able to apply.  I had no regret the moment the sessions started; they were power-packed!  The knowledgeable and experienced presenters made three hour sessions seemed like one hour!  I now feel more confident to address matters that may arise in the real estate field.  I do hope in the future, to be a part of a team that will assist in registering land parcels throughout Jamaica! 

Thanks to the excellent professional team whose attitude and work ethics should be reflecting in all organizations island wide!

Testimonial for Victor Ziadie
Attorney-at-Law

The Land Registration and Conveyancing Workshop is a useful refresher for experienced attorneys and a must for newly qualified ones. It reveals the inner workings of the National Land Agency, their checks and balances, gives practical training in various different areas from Vesting Applications to Foreclosures, and provides an insight on why documents are frequently rejected and how to avoid same. It also gives you the opportunity to present any troublesome conveyancing issue for discussion during the appropriate seminar and to receive the suggestions and at times the assistance of the presenter.

In the presentation on Land Valuation, I discovered that I was being overcharged on my personal property taxes and with the assistance of the presenter the anomaly was corrected and a credit of $116,000.00 received from the Collector of Taxes.

So, apart from the benefit of the theoretical and hands-on training, the Workshop paid for itself before the half-way mark. I highly recommend it.
