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, lease, or sell the land without time limitation.

Leasehold

Ownership of land for a specified period, typically 99 or 999 years, after which ownership reverts to the lessor (usually the government).

Sectional Title

Ownership of a unit (e.g., apartment or office) within a multi-unit development, with shared ownership of common areas.

Mailo Land

A form of land tenure originating from the Buganda region, where the 'mailo owner' holds a freehold interest but tenants (kibanja holders) have occupancy rights.
