Epuka Kubomolewa Nyumba: Shamba Ni Title Deed

We’ve seen recent demolitions in Mavoko and the error seems to have happened right at the purchase of the plots. There are several questions surrounding land buying procedures in Kenya. Potential landowners often grapple with the uncertainty of what steps to take before buying land. 

Below, we address these concerns and provide valuable insights into the process of buying land in Kenya and why partnering with reliable experts like Next Level Properties is a necessity.

Identifying the Ideal Location

The first step towards becoming a landowner in Kenya is to identify the location that suits your desires and investment goals. Several factors should be taken into account when choosing a location, including:

1. Proximity to Urban Centers: Consider how close the land is to urban centers, as this can significantly impact its potential for development and resale value.
2. Availability of Amenities: Access to amenities such as water, electricity, and sewer systems is crucial for the development and functionality of the land.
3. Price: The cost of the land in your chosen location is a critical factor. You should set a budget and stick to it to avoid overstretching your finances.

Finding the Right Seller

Land can be purchased from various sources, including individuals, groups, or land-selling companies. Legit land selling companies are the best to partner with as often handle due diligence and documentation on your behalf. Companies with a track record of delivering title deeds can provide an added layer of security for your investment.

Obtaining a Land Map

Before making a purchase, it's advisable to obtain a land map for the area in which you intend to invest. These maps provide crucial information about the land, including:

1. Exact Location: The map will show the exact location of the land.
2. Neighborhoods: You can identify neighboring properties and potential developments in the area.
3. Natural Features: The presence of natural features like rivers, hills, or forests can affect the land's suitability for your purposes.
4. Boundaries: Understanding the land's boundaries is essential for proper demarcation.
5. Zoning Restrictions: The map will indicate any zoning restrictions, which can impact how you can use the land.

Physical Site Visit

After obtaining the land map, it is highly recommended to conduct a physical visit to the land. A site visit allows you to assess the amenities, the environment, and the general state of the land. It's an opportunity to confirm that the land meets your expectations and requirements.

Title Deed Search

A crucial step in the land buying process is conducting a title deed search. This involves verifying the land's ownership and whether the seller has the legal right to transfer ownership. You can do this by:

1. Online Search: For properties in Nairobi, you can use the Ardhisasa platform for online searches.
2. Manual Search: For properties in other regions, manual searches can be conducted at the local Land Registries.

The title deed search ensures that the land you are purchasing is free from disputes and that the seller has the legal authority to sell it.

Making Payments

Once you are satisfied with your research and the cost of the land, it's time to make payments. Ensure that you obtain proof of payment, such as a receipt, and inquire about any hidden costs that may arise during the transaction. Again, reputable companies like Next Level Properties are transparent about their pricing, and all costs are communicated in the agreement letter.

Signing Legal Documents

Land transactions involve various legal documents, including an Offer Letter, Sale Agreement, and Title Transfer document. It is essential to have a conveyancing lawyer review these documents to protect your interests. Inquire about the expected duration for processing the title deed, as this can vary depending on the location and specific circumstances.

Post-Purchase Verification

After completing the transaction and receiving the title deed, it's advisable to conduct a final search to confirm that the land now bears your details. This verification ensures that the transfer of ownership has been correctly executed and that you are the recognized owner of the property.

By following these steps, you can significantly reduce the risks associated with land acquisition in Kenya. It's essential to do your due diligence, seek professional advice when necessary, and ensure that the land you purchase comes with a valid title deed.
