FACTORS TO CONSIDER BEFORE PURCHASING LAND IN KENYA.

By


As we saw earlier from our previous article, land is indeed the greatest financial investment we have in Kenya. However, there are multiple of things you should put into consideration before purchasing land in Kenya. These factors  include;

1. Location of the land.

Location of the land is one of the very crucial factors every land investor should put in consideration. Wherever your land is situated mostly determines which kind of activity will be suitable to be carried on that piece of land. Is it agricultural activities? Is it a residential land? Or is it both? Land’s location is indeed paramount as it determines your satisfaction as a land owner. In addition, focus on areas with growth potentials

2. Carry out extensive research on your own.

When purchasing land, be aware of the available options before making up your mind. Do not be in a hurry of buying land. Take your time and ensure that the kind of land you wanted from the beginning is the one you are going for. Find out all the available lands for sale and weigh your options so as to know which one to go for. You will only achieve this by carry out your research comprehensively.

Occasionally, majority of people get lost into the beautiful views and location of a particular locality of the land they buy forgetting to carry out a research on other crucial factors. Since each piece of land has distinctive features and it is unique, there is always more you will find out about land that requires extra cost. There could be a bigger land with the same features elsewhere that you probably could consider. If you are not personally acquainted with the area of your search, spend time getting to know it to see if it really does meet your criteria.

3. Climatic conditions of the area.

Consider annual seasonal changes, rainfall and temperatures of the place you want to buy your land. As we all know, climate affects every aspect of life including; the types of plants and vegetables, you can grow, Health conditions, Potential for drought and other extreme weather conditions and so on. For this reason it is therefore very important for every Land investor to put this into consideration.

If the land is at the place where there is absence of all-weather roads, then be assured that during rainy seasons you are likely to have difficulties accessing the place. Moreover, you can decide to study the climatic change of the place for the past 20 years or so just to be conversant with the weather patterns and know what to expect every season.

4. Consider good road network system.

Before you make any land transaction, consider proximity to roads. Pay attention to accessibility and avoid mistakes most people ignore. You need to ask yourself if a road needs to be built to bring your farm produce to the market. Is there a good access to the structures you want to establish for business or is there an all-weather road to connect you to the suppliers. It is important to resolve the issues of accessibility with the land owner before you complete the transactions. If there is no evident access to your land, then make sure the land owner provides one. Note that good road network can quickly attract development in your site thus increasing the value of your property in the future.

5. Soil composition and quality.

Knowing the kind of soil that your structure stands on can be of great help. This is because you detect problems and come up with a suitable solution before they arise. Are you aware that the type of soil on the land you purchase may affect the size of the structure you put up? Do you also know the type of crops you plant in your farm can also be affected on one way or another? The truth is that when it comes to building, soil type and composition has an impact several things. It may cost you a lot of money in putting down your structure foundation, the amount of earthwork involved and the stability of your structure.

6. History of the Land’s ownership.

A land search will help identify the history of ownership of the land and whether or not it has any claim on it. For instance in cases where land is used as collateral for a bank loan and where the vendor has subdivided a large chunk into small plots, it is your right to ask for a title deed of the individual plot/land. Identifying the rightful land owner is just one of the ways of preventing being duped in the land dealings in Kenya.
