Freehold vs Leasehold vs Sectional Title in Kenya

Understanding land tenure is crucial when buying industrial land in Machakos. Under Kenya's Land Act 2012, the three main deed types are freehold, leasehold, and sectional title. Each has distinct implications for ownership duration, transferability, and use restrictions.

Best for

  • Shared maintenance costs for common areas
  • Clear ownership of a specific unit
  • Suitable for small-scale industrial operations
