Before you buy that prime land in Karai, Kikuyu, make sure the boundaries are verified. A proper survey protects your investment and prevents costly disputes. Here's what you need to know about the different survey types under Kenya's Survey Act.

Protect Your Investment

A proper land survey confirms exact boundaries, size, and ensures no encroachment. In hilly areas like Karai, a topo survey is especially important for planning foundations and drainage.

📐 Types of Land Surveys

Mutation Survey

Beacon Survey

Places or replaces physical beacons (concrete pillars) at the corners of the plot. Often part of a perimeter survey but can be done separately to restore lost markers.
