NCB's repossessed land portfolio typically includes a wide range of lot sizes and land types across Jamaica:
Prices vary significantly based on parish, size, and whether the land is serviced. The following table gives a general guide based on typical NCB repossessed land listings:
| Land Type | Location | Typical Price Range |
|---|---|---|
| Residential lot (small) | Rural parishes | J$2M – J$6M |
| Residential lot (standard) | St. Catherine, Clarendon | J$4M – J$12M |
| Residential lot (serviced) | Kingston, St. Andrew | J$8M – J$25M |
| Agricultural land (per acre) | Rural parishes | J$1.5M – J$5M |
| Commercial lot | Urban areas | J$15M – J$50M+ |
All NCB repossessed land is sold via sealed bid. The listed price is a guide — you may bid above or below, though bids significantly below the listed price are rarely accepted.
NCB's listed prices typically reflect the outstanding loan balance rather than full market value. This means you can often acquire land at 15–25% below what comparable plots sell for on the open market — particularly for older loans where the balance has been substantially repaid.
If purchasing a residential lot, confirm your NHT benefit amount first at nht.gov.jm or call 1-888-225-5648. NHT benefits can be applied toward qualifying residential land purchases.
Visit jncb.com/support/help-resources/reclaimed-listings for current land and property listings. Email reclaimedbids@jncb.com to be added to the notification list for new listings.
Contact NCB's recovery unit to arrange a viewing of the land. Bring a surveyor to assess boundaries, access roads, utilities connections, and any encroachments before bidding.
Engage a Jamaican attorney to conduct a full title search. Confirm the land has a registered title, check for any liens or encumbrances, and verify that boundaries match the registered survey.
Email your offer to reclaimedbids@jncb.com. Include the property description or reference number, your full name, phone number, and offer amount. NCB uses a sealed bid process — only the highest qualifying bidder is contacted.
Your attorney handles the legal transfer of title. Budget for Transfer Tax, Stamp Duty, Registration Fees, and legal costs — typically 5–7% of the purchase price on top of your bid amount.
Repossessed land is one of the most underutilised opportunities in Jamaica's repo market. Most buyers focus on houses and vehicles — which means land attracts fewer competing bids and better pricing. Key advantages include:
Parishes like St. Thomas, Portland, and the outskirts of St. Catherine have seen significant land value appreciation over the past decade as infrastructure improves. Repossessed agricultural and residential land in these areas represents strong long-term value at current NCB repo prices.
NCB is not the only source of repossessed land. Check these institutions for additional listings:
