Frequently Asked Questions

Always verify the title deed (freehold or leasehold), search certificate from lands office, land rates clearance certificate, and approved survey plans. For mother title subdivisions, confirm the consent to transfer from the original owner.

Subdivision depends on local zoning laws - most areas require minimum plot sizes of 1/8 acre (50x100ft) for residential use. Some agricultural zones allow smaller divisions but require special approvals.

With ready documents, transfers typically take 30-60 days including valuation, stamp duty payment (4% of value) and registration at the lands office. Processing new titles after subdivision takes 6-12 months.

Urban plots typically have piped water and electricity connections nearby. Suburban areas may require borehole drilling and temporary power during construction. Always confirm actual connection costs which vary by location.

Most banks offer land loans covering up to 50% of value at competitive rates (12-16% p.a.). SACCOs provide alternative financing with lower rates but longer approval processes.
