Freehold vs Leasehold vs Sectional Title in Kenya
Understanding land tenure is crucial when buying property in Kenya. The Land Act 2012 governs land rights, and the three main deed types are freehold, leasehold, and sectional title. Each has distinct characteristics that affect ownership duration, transferability, and use.

Pros

- No ground rent or lease extension fees
- Greater freedom to develop or transfer the land
- Higher resale value and collateral for loans
Watch out for
- Typically higher purchase price than leasehold
