Frequently Asked Questions

Always verify the title deed (check authenticity at Ministry of Lands), search certificate, land rates clearance certificate, and approved zoning plans. For commercial properties specifically confirm the zoning classification allows your intended business use.

Yes, but subject to county government approval. Commercial land subdivision requires: minimum plot sizes per zoning regulations (typically 1/8 acre in urban areas), proper access roads, and utility provisions. Approval process takes 3-6 months.

Expect to pay annual land rates (0.1-0.5% of value), ground rent if leasehold (Ksh 5,000-50,000/year), and maintenance costs for access roads/security. Commercial properties attract higher rates than residential.

Check with local water companies and Kenya Power for connection feasibility. In prime areas: water mains exist (connection fee ~Ksh 50,000), electricity available (~Ksh 35,000 connection). Remote areas may require boreholes/solar.

Standard process: deposit (10-30%), balance upon successful transfer at Lands Office (4-8 weeks). For large parcels: staged payments tied to subdivision/survey milestones. Always use lawyers to handle transactions.
