Broadleaf Urban Properties launches digital Application

Government has commended Broadleaf Urban Properties for launching a digital Application (App) for listing properties.

Speaking last night during the launch of the Broadleaf Home APP, Minister of Local Government and Rural Development, Gift Sialubalo said the launch of the App is timely as it will enable people to easily access properties for rent.

Mr Sialubalo said the innovation enhances transparency, traceability, and accountability within the housing market.

He stressed that the Broadleaf Home App complements the objectives of the national decentralisation that aims to bring services closer to the people.

And Minister of Technology and Science, Felix Mutati praised Broadleaf Urban Properties for using digital technology to bring sanity to the housing market space.

The media reports that Mr Mutati said the government will continue to expand and invest in digital infrastructure on which technology rides on to encourage more innovations, such as the Broadleaf Home Application.

Meanwhile, Broadleaf Urban Properties Board Chairman, Sobrick Sakala bemoaned that access to prosperity in Zambia is fragmented, hence the decision to launch the Broadleaf Home Application.

Mr Sakala charged that many people have experienced losses and frustration due to the informal system of searching for properties for rent using unregistered agents.
