5 Things to Check Before Buying Land in Kenya

Buying land is one of the best investments you can make, but only if you do it carefully. Before you pay a deposit, check these five things.

1. Verify the title deed. Do an official search at the land registry to confirm who owns the land and that the title is genuine. Don’t rely on a photocopy.

2. Visit the site. Go and see the plot yourself. Confirm the size, the boundaries and the beacons match what you were told.

3. Check access and utilities. Ask about the road, water and electricity. A cheap plot without access can cost you more later.

4. Confirm there are no disputes. The search should show whether the land has a caveat, loan or court case attached to it.

5. Use a lawyer. Have an advocate review the sale agreement before you sign or send any money. Pay only to official company or lawyer accounts.
