Land Deed Types in Kenya: Freehold vs Leasehold vs Sectional Title

Understanding the type of land deed is crucial when buying property in Kenya. The Land Act 2012 and the Land Registration Act 2012 govern land tenure. Here's a breakdown of the main deed types you'll encounter.

Pros
  • Indefinite ownership with no expiry date
  • No ground rent payable to the government
  • Greater flexibility for development and use
  • Easier to transfer or bequeath to heirs
Watch out for

Pros
