Seeking some advice on the process involved in selling a piece of land in Jamaica.

My Dad want to sell a piece of land, but want to find out the steps involve. Please note he already has the title (In his and my older brother's name), he has already paid all outstanding land taxes on the piece of land.
I suspect he will have to pay some taxes such as stamp duty tax, but what else is involved? Does he need to have a lump sum of money available to pay
upfront before the actual sale can take place?

P.S He doesn't want to use a real estate agent or lawyer to handle this process.

I think unu just agree a sum, go to tax office and pay to register the new owners name and fill and probably pay to draft a new title. Call Ministry of Housing in cross roads and ask.
