Reasons Why You Should Buy Land during Rainy Season

By

 

Land is arguably the most sought after asset in Kenya – and rightly so because its value appreciates over time.

 

With the demand in this industry so high, there is always a risk of running into conmen who will end up selling  you a piece of land they don’t own, as well as ending up buying land along water paths or in a flood-prone area.

 

If you are looking to buy land in Uasin Gishu county or any other parts of Kenya for that matter, below are some of the reasons as to why you should consider waiting until the rainy season to seal that deal:

 

Accessibility

 

Everybody wants to own land in an area that is easily accessible – talk about good roads.



Unless you’re buying land next to a tarmacked road, it is always advisable to wait until it rains so that you can find out the reality on the ground. That smooth road you might have seen during a site visit on a dry day might be a nightmare to use during a rainy season – a fact you can only know if you try to access the land you want to purchase in a rainy season.

Water Table

 

I’m sure you have witnessed cases of landowners complaining about floods in their homestead or land – and I bet you don’t want to be that land owner.



 

Visiting a piece of land you intend to purchase during or after a rainy season will give you a clear picture of the water table of that particular land – enabling you to make a decision from an informed position.

 

Retention of water



There is no way you can tell the flow of water in a particular area when it rains unless you are there during that period, and this is why visiting a land you’re interested in during the rainy season is important.

 

Some land sellers won’t tell you that the parcel has poor water retention, and failure to visit it might end with regrets on your side.
