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).
