Frequently Asked Questions

  • What documents are needed when buying property in Kenya?
    Key documents include a signed sale agreement, title deed, land rent and rates clearance certificates, and consent from relevant authorities. We help verify and prepare all necessary paperwork to ensure a smooth transfer.
  • Why is due diligence important before a property purchase?
    Due diligence helps confirm legal ownership, identify encumbrances, and verify zoning or planning issues. It protects buyers from fraud and future disputes, providing peace of mind in the investment process.
  • How long does a property transfer usually take?
    While timelines can vary, most transfers in Kenya typically take between 60 to 90 days, depending on the complexity of the transaction and clearance from relevant authorities.
  • Can foreigners own land in Kenya?
    Yes, but with restrictions. Foreigners may hold land on a leasehold basis for up to 99 years, but they cannot directly own freehold land. We guide international clients through these legal frameworks to ensure compliance.
