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 limits.

Leasehold

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

Sectional Title

Ownership of a unit (e.g., apartment or office) within a building, plus shared ownership of common areas.

Mailo Land

A historical land tenure system in Uganda (not common in Kenya) but sometimes referenced in border areas. In Kenya, the equivalent is freehold or leasehold under the Land Registration Act 2012.
