This includes due diligence period (7-10 days), signing transfer documents at the Lands Office (1 week), and registration (2-3 weeks).

Annual costs include land rates to Kilifi County (approximately Ksh 2,000-5,000 per year depending on plot size) and potential estate maintenance fees if within a gated community (typically Ksh 5,000-15,000 annually). Capital gains tax applies if selling within first few years of ownership.
