Land Deed Types in Kenya: Freehold, Leasehold & Sectional Title

  • No ground rent or lease extension fees
  • Greater flexibility for development and use
  • Higher resale value and easier to finance
Watch out for
  • Typically more expensive per acre than leasehold
  • Owner bears full responsibility for land rates and taxes
  • Less common in urban areas and some planned developments
  • May require more due diligence to verify title authenticity
Best for

Leasehold

Leasehold grants the holder rights to use the land for a specified period, typically 99 years for residential or 45-99 years for commercial, after which ownership reverts to the lessor (often the government). Governed by the Land Act 2012.

  • Clear legal framework for dispute resolution
  • Can be freehold or leasehold underlying title
