Frequently Asked Questions

The prime lands in Gathiga predominantly come with freehold title deeds, which provide absolute ownership without time limitations. Some properties may have leasehold titles with typically 99-year leases from the original allocation. All titles we offer are verified through official searches at the Kiambu Lands Registry to ensure authenticity and clear ownership history.

The process begins with identifying a suitable plot, followed by conducting due diligence including official search at lands registry, survey verification, and physical site visit. Once satisfied, a sale agreement is prepared and executed with deposit payment (typically 10-20%). The balance is paid upon successful transfer at the lands registry, which usually takes 30-60 days. We recommend engaging a lawyer specializing in property transactions to guide through the process.

Gathiga falls under Kiambu County zoning regulations which primarily allow residential and commercial developments. Minimum plot sizes for subdivision are typically eighth of an acre. Building height restrictions are minimal, but environmental impact assessment may be required for larger projects. All developments must adhere to the county's building codes regarding setbacks, drainage, and waste management systems.

Gathiga enjoys excellent infrastructure including tarmac road access via Gathanga Road connecting to the Northern Bypass. Reliable water supply is provided by Gathiga Water Project with most plots having mains connection points. Electricity connectivity through Kenya Power is available throughout the area, and fiber optic internet services have been deployed by multiple providers. The area also benefits from regular garbage collection services.

Pricing depends on several factors: plot size (with smaller plots commanding higher rates per acre), proximity to main roads and amenities, topography (flat plots are premium), and title documentation status. Current market rates range from Ksh 8-12 million per acre, with quarter-acre plots typically priced between Ksh 2.5-3.5 million. Prices are generally negotiable within 5-10% depending on payment terms and speed of transaction.

If the property has existing structures, building rent may apply. Security costs vary if opting for private security services.
