Before you buy land in Watamu, verify boundaries with a licensed surveyor. The Survey Act (Cap 299) requires all land transactions to be based on an accurate survey. Avoid costly disputes by understanding the different survey types available.
Protect Your Investment
A proper land survey confirms exact boundaries, size, and ensures no encroachment. In Watamu's coastal terrain, surveys also identify easements and tidal zones that could affect your property rights.
📐 Types of Land Surveys
Perimeter Survey

How to verify land ownership and avoid fraud when buying land in Kenya.
Land Fraud is Common in Kenya
Always verify title deeds at the Ministry of Lands before making any payment. Never rely solely on documents provided by the seller. Use a licensed lawyer for all transactions.
Freehold
Absolute ownership of land for an indefinite period. The owner has full rights to use, transfer, and bequeath the land.
Leasehold
Ownership of land for a specified period (typically 99 or 999 years) granted by the government or a private landlord. At expiry, ownership reverts to the lessor.
Sectional Title
Ownership of a unit (e.g., apartment or townhouse) plus an undivided share of common property. Governed by the Sectional Properties Act 2020.
Mailo Land
A historical land tenure system in Uganda (not common in Kenya). In Kenya, similar customary or trust land may exist, but the Land Registration Act 2012 standardizes all titles.
