List of 7 Do’s And Don’ts When Buying Land in Kenya

Are you looking to buy land in Uasin Gishu or its environs before the end of 2020? You still have a couple of days to make that dream come true.

But even as you work on actualizing your dream to own a plot or a piece of land in this rich agricultural county, there are a few things – the do’s and don’ts that you should know – or else you will end up losing your savings to fake landowners, brokers and companies.

Here is a list of things you need to DO or AVOID when buying land;

- At all cost, avoid buying land belonging to a deceased person – unless you are sure and have confirmed that all succession formalities have been completed – legally.

- Avoid buying land that is near public bodies like rivers, lakes, roads, forests, schools etc. When interested in such land, be sure to confirm with relevant authorities like NEMA, KeNHA and KFS its boundaries. Some might be on road reserves, gazetted forest areas or riparian land.

- Never pay booking or commitment fee.

- Avoid purchasing land whose lease is about to expire. Remember leasehold land in Kenya goes for a maximum of 99 years and upon expiry, the government can either terminate the lease or extend it.

- Never pay any amount meant for the purchase of land before a Sale Agreement has been duly signed by both parties – the seller and buyer. Legally, a Sale Agreement can only be valid if it is written.

- Avoid paying over 10% of the land purchase price before the said land has been transferred to your name and title deed issued in your name by the Land Registry.

- Before you start developing your newly acquired land, always ensure you get all approvals from relevant authorities i.e. County Government, and National Lands Commission (NLC).

How Women Can Protect Their Property Rights After Marriage

They say property has no gender, but history shows a different reality, where property ownership has favoured men. This inequality is still evident, especially when it comes to inheritance after the death of a spouse. Even though Kenya’s 2010 Constitution guarantees equal rights for men and women, many women still struggle to secure their rights to 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. Registering Jointly Owned Property When a couple buys property together, it’s important to register it under both names. This guarantees that the other automatically inherits the property if one partner dies. Make sure both names are clearly listed on the title deed as co-owners. 2. Joint Tenancy or Tenancy-in-Common There are two ways to share property: Joint tenancy : If one partner dies, the other automatically becomes the sole owner. Tena...
