Beacon Survey

Places or replaces permanent boundary markers (beacons) at each corner of the plot. Often combined with a perimeter survey.

Understanding Land Tenure Types in Kenya

When buying land in Kenya, the type of deed determines your ownership rights and obligations. The Land Act 2012 governs the three main tenure types: freehold, leasehold, and sectional title. Each has distinct characteristics that affect transferability, financing, and long-term value.

Freehold

Freehold grants the owner absolute ownership of the land for an indefinite period. The owner has full rights to use, develop, and transfer the land, subject to zoning and planning laws. Freehold is the most secure form of land tenure in Kenya.

Pros

Permanent ownership with no expiry
No ground rent or lease extension fees
Higher resale value and easier financing
Full control over land use (subject to regulations)

Watch out for

Higher purchase price compared to leasehold
Owner bears all maintenance and land rates
May require more due diligence to verify title
Less common in urban prime areas

Best for

Buyers seeking long-term investment, family land, or agricultural use.

Leasehold

Leasehold grants ownership for a fixed term, typically 99 years for land from the government or 33-99 years for private leases. The lessee pays annual ground rent and must comply with lease conditions. Upon expiry, the lease may be renewed subject to terms.

Pros

Lower initial purchase price
Often located in prime urban areas
Lease terms can be extended by law
Less upfront capital required

Watch out for

Ownership is temporary; value declines as lease shortens
Annual ground rent and renewal fees
Restrictions on development without lessor consent
Risk of non-renewal or high renewal costs

Best for

Buyers focused on short-to-medium term use, or those wanting prime locations at lower cost.

Sectional Title

Sectional title applies to apartments, townhouses, or commercial units within a development. The owner holds a freehold or leasehold interest in a specific unit plus shared ownership of common areas. Governed by the Sectional Properties Act 2020.

Pros

Ownership of a unit plus shared common areas
Managed by a homeowners' association
Easier to finance for individual units
Clear legal framework for disputes

Watch out for

Monthly service charges and levies
Restrictions on alterations and use
Shared responsibility for common area maintenance
Potential for management conflicts

Best for

Buyers of apartments, townhouses, or commercial units in planned developments.
