Land Deed Types in Kenya: Freehold vs Leasehold vs Sectional Title

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

Freehold

Freehold is the most absolute form of land ownership in Kenya, granting the holder indefinite ownership of both the land and any improvements. It is governed by the Land Act 2012 and is typically associated with agricultural or residential land.

Pros

  • Full control over land use (subject to zoning)

Leasehold

Leasehold grants ownership of the land for a fixed period, typically 99 years for residential or 45-99 years for commercial, after which ownership reverts to the lessor (usually the government or a private entity). Governed by the Land Act 2012, leasehold is common in urban areas and on government land.

  • Shared maintenance costs for common property
  • Clear legal framework under Sectional Properties Act
  • Can be freehold or leasehold underlying tenure
