HOW DO I CONDUCT DUE DILIGENCE ON PROPERTY IN UASIN GISHU COUNTY

By

Due diligence in Real estate is defined as the duty or responsibility of the property buyer to conduct a research on the property to govern whether they (property buyer) are contented.  Basically, in simple words, Due diligence is also doing your homework before buying any real estate property.

What are the factors one should consider when carrying out due diligence on property?

The following are the factors to consider when carrying out due diligence in Kenya;

1. Market equilibrium.

When conducting Due diligence on property, it is very necessary for you as the property buyer to understand the market so as to avoid instances where you will be overpriced. Equilibrium is the state in which market supply and demand balance each other, and as a result, prices become stable.

2. Property review.

After you have confirmed that the property exists, scrutinize that property thoroughly to ensure that there isn’t any fault. You can choose to hire a home inspector for professional consultation.

3. Valuation and Evaluation of the property.

Valuating property means that you estimate the market value of the property. For you to measure the value of the property, consider things like; the property's location, neighboring social amenities, Are they close to the property or far? What about the legal description of the property? On the contrary, evaluation of the property entails assessing the property to confirm whether the property price is worth the selling price.

4. Title deed and Sales agreement.
5. The government’s regulations (zoning laws of the area)

How do I conduct Due diligence in Uasin Gishu County-Kenya?

The following are the 7 steps to put in consideration when conducting due diligence:

1. Conduct a title review.

Ensure that you get a prior title report on the property that you want to buy.  Look for any secondary liens or tax liens. Confirm that there isn’t any hidden encumbrances on the property that will blossom into unpleasant surprises later.

2. Thorough inspection of the property.

With the help of a licensed professional inspector, carry out thorough inspection of the property. He or she will confirm to you that the property has no red flags such as structural defects and so on.

3. Consider the surrounding property and neighborhood.

Check out the surrounding neighborhood because its condition can affect the value of your property. How is the ownership of the neighboring homes? Note that abandoned houses is a problem in pathetic neighborhood.

4. Examination of recent sale activities. 

Examine how long a certain property has been on the market. Are they being sold fast or are they languishing? How are the rent trends in the neighborhood?

5. Review of price trends. 

Are the price trends increasing or are they going down? What is the comparison between the last peak and now? Conducting Due diligence will equip you with information on the value of the property. Is the property value appreciating or it is otherwise?

6. Look at the upside potential. 

Are you close to any educational center? Can you access good roads easily? How about developing businesses? 

7. Research zoning requirements. 

Consult with the ministry of land to find out if there are any local ordinances or laws that might make it difficult to be the owner of the property.

So, how can women make sure their rights are respected after marriage? Baoriat Agencies explains six key ways to ensure fair property distribution in case of death or separation. 1.
