Buying Land in Kenya from the Diaspora: A Step-by-Step Guide
· Denvers Properties
Living abroad should not stop you from owning land at home. Here is how to buy safely from anywhere.
Start with a trusted company
Work with an established company that has a physical office, verifiable projects and a track record of issuing title deeds.
Steps
- Shortlist projects and request a virtual site tour.
- Request copies of the mother title and an official search.
- Review and sign the sale agreement with your advocate.
- Pay the deposit directly to the company bank account - never to an individual.
- Track transfer and title processing, then collect your title deed in person or through a representative.
Tip
Appoint a trusted representative in Kenya with a limited power of attorney if you cannot travel.
