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.
