Frequently asked questions

What should I check before buying land in Kenya?

At minimum — an official land search confirming the registered owner and any encumbrances, verification of the seller's identity, confirmation of unpaid land rates or rent, and a physical survey of the parcel against the title. Our due-diligence process covers all of these before you commit funds.

How long does the transfer of property take in Kenya?

A straightforward transfer typically completes within 60–90 days, covering consent, valuation for stamp duty, payment of duty, and registration on Ardhisasa. Complex matters such as leasehold consents or estates can take longer; we keep you updated at every stage.
