You Have The Title Deed, True, But Do You Really Own That Property?
Are you convinced that because you hold a Title Deed to a plot you bought some years ago, you actually still own it today? Here’s a reality check: – If you can’t affirmatively answer “yes” to at least 10 of these basic questions about it, then your ownership is questionable and likely at risk!
Many Kenyans, especially those in the diaspora, own land they can’t access, develop, sell, or even legally claim. And they don’t even know it.
This isn’t about the property being registered in your name on a Title Deed or Certificate of Title proudly touted in promotional videos. Fake title deeds, unknown boundaries and boundary disputes, uprooted beacons, unidentifiable delineations, infringements on public reserves and easements, subdivisions that exist theoretically but not on any official registry maps, exposure to squatters and fraudsters, unpaid property levies, unknown restrictions and a plethora of other risks and threats could sink your investments.
Are you certain that you have a clear, unencumbered, enforceable right of claim? Or does your title deed merely suggest that you own property, but cannot confirm as much?
Protect What You Own, Secure What You’ve Built
Your property is more than a title deed — it’s your future.Your property is only as safe as the measures you take to secure it.
Buying or selling property? Are your property boundaries delineated and established? Unpaid rates need settling? Is your ownership documentation complete? Take back control today! From surveys to fencing; property searches to acquiring official registry maps; processing clearance certificates, valuation, and market readiness assessments, we can assist you today in preparing for tomorrow’s opportunities.

Acquiring Agricultural Land for Leasing: A Win-Win Proposition for Investors & Farmers
There is a widely held, even if somewhat dim view that participating in the farming economy is the preserve of those who plant crops, rear animals and otherwise directly participate in farming as producers. This isn’t the only pathway to benefiting from the agricultural land economy. There are growing communities of real estate investors who acquire land with the outlook of benefitting from agricultural production exclusively from land ownership through leasing. Here’s how they’re jumping onto the opportunity, and why you should too!
Registration of Leases: How to Secure Your Rights & Interests Over Leased Property
It is important to note that while the registration of leases is not a legal prerequisite for the recognition of a legal contract between a lessor and lessee, an unregistered lease may be valid between the parties but will offer no protection against third parties to the agreement.
If the law does not demand the registration of leases, why should a lease be registered?
Leases vs. Licences in Real Estate: Understanding the Differences
Leases and licences are distinct legal arrangements in the realm of real estate, each offering different rights and responsibilities to the parties involved. Leases create a landlord-tenant relationship, granting exclusive possession and control for a fixed term, while Licences, on the other hand, are revocable permissions for temporary and non-exclusive use of the property.
Controlled Tenancies, Licenses, Commercial Leases: The Differences & Similarities in Property Usage Arrangements
Controlled Tenancies, Licenses & Commercial Leases refer to the different types of commercial arrangements that a property owner (landlord) and the ultimate user of the property (tenant) might have between themselves. The legal arrangements which confer use of property to property users differs to a large extent on the basis of the intent that both parties had at the time they entered into their engagement, the duration or term for which the agreement was intended to subsist, the nature of commercial arrangements the parties desired to engage in besides many other factors.
Leasing Land in Kenya: A Beginner’s Guide to Understanding Lease Agreements
The most basic premise that makes leasing attractive is that it allows two parties to engage for economic benefit – one to utilize an asset they may not be able to afford to purchase to either generate an income or derive some other form of benefit, and the other to benefit by merely owning that asset.
Capital Gains Tax Skyrockets to 15% From January 1′ 2023- Investors Brace for Impact!
Commencing January 1st 2023, Capital Gains Tax, which had previously been levied at the rate of 5% on the gain made on any capital asset, will henceforth be levied at 15%. Secretly, I have heard plausible arguments steeped in political sentiment as to why the capital gains tax tripled overnight- specifically, that the threefold hike is targeted at weakening the political clout of a particular community deemed to be the largest landowners in Kenya.
Why Pension-Backed Mortgages in Kenya Are Unlikely to Return in The Near Future
The pension industry in Kenya controls over KES 1.5 trillion in assets with under 20% penetration of the formal labour market in the country. There is a glaring opportunity here not just to spur homeownership, but also to grow the industry. Pension-backed mortgages would be an effective tool to deepen the conversation between finance and growing access to homeownership.
