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

Sectional Title

Ownership of a unit (e.g., apartment) within a building, plus shared ownership of common areas. Governed by the Sectional Properties Act.

Mailo Land

A historical land tenure system in parts of Kenya (e.g., Buganda region) where the owner holds a freehold interest but tenants may have occupancy rights.
