Never Ignore These 5 Red Flags When Buying Land in Kenya

Image
By

 
Purchasing a piece of land in Kenya can be a very expensive affair – due to the value that land holds in the country.

There are several processes and procedures that purchase of land involves and it is always advised that each and every step is followed for a successful land purchase transition to be complete.

While there are genuine land sellers out there, it is also a fact that there are those out to take advantage of high land demand – and if you are not careful, you might end up buying air instead of land.

Here are some of the common red flags in land purchase deals you should never ignore;

Too good to be true offers

They always say; “if a deal is too good, think twice.” If you find someone offering like over 50 per cent off if you purchase a certain piece of land or plot, be very cautious. Such individuals with ‘too good to be true offers’ might actually be using that deal to lure unsuspecting land buyers into a fraudulent transaction.

Only consider reasonable offers like 10 or 20 per cent off and always put question marks on unreasonable offers.

Lack of proof of ownership

If you encounter a person or company not willing to share with you documents like title deeds showing they are legal owners of the land in question – this should be an automatic red flag for you.

Remember you need a title deed number to do a land search for the property you are interested in buying.

Unwillingness to allow you to visit the land site

A site visit is one of the key things a land buyer must do before initiating any transaction. If a person/company purporting to be selling land does not allow you to visit the said piece of land/plot but wants you to make payments first, be very cautious about that – they might be fraudsters and proceeding with that deal might end up in tears for you.

Contradicting information

When a land buyer tells you one thing about the property but a search on the very same property reveals the contrary, chances are there is something wrong with that piece of land and the best decision is to keep off.

No identification for person/company selling land

Always insist on identification for individuals that are selling land you are interested in. If it is a company representative, be sure to have a look at their staff identification, name of the company and location. If the land seller is unwilling to fully identify him/herself to you, that should be a red flag.

How Women Can Protect Their Property Rights After Marriage

By
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...
