If you are looking to buy land in Eldoret town or any part of Uasin Gishu County, here are some of the basic, but very important things you need to consider;

Zoning Restrictions

Once you identify the ideal piece of land/plot that you want to purchase, always research on the area to find out what it is zoned for.

Land in Kenya is zoned as either commercial, agricultural, industrial or residential and it will be problematic if you buy land zoned for agricultural purposes yet you want to develop a building for commercial purposes.

It is also good to enquire from local authorities to be sure the land is not on a road/rail line reserve, forest area or wetland.

Water Source

Water is an essential utility for any landowner. Whether you’re buying land for agriculture, commercial, or industrial purposes, always find out access to water in the area.

Do a bit of research to find out if you can sink a borehole in the area or there is an existing water line.

Climate

Those who live in Uasin Gishu will tell you the weather here is the best you can get in any part of the world.

That said, it is good to know the climate of the area you’re buying land as it will inform you on how to insulate your home, types of plants and vegetables you can grow, how much energy you might expect to use among others.

Soil Quality and Composition

Many would think this is a point only for those looking for agricultural land to consider. The truth is, the soil quality and composition has an impact on how you will build a home and also crops you can grow.

Soil composition will impact the cost of building foundation, amount of earthworks that will be required and stability as well as land retention.

Be sure to test your soil in the newly acquired land before you start building.

Trees and Bushland

Natural fauna like trees and bushes around your land is beautiful; and can add shad to your backyard, but it can also pose a risk, especially in extreme weather.

Always consider the impacts of falling tree branched or even whole trees in your home or land – especially in areas known to be affected by the storm.

It is also worth noting that removing trees from a piece of land is not always easy, alongside existing laws and regulations governing how trees can be cut down.

Utility Access

Always ask yourself about the availability of utilities like trading centre, public transport, road, electricity and water in the area you are about to buy land in.

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...
