Frequently Asked Questions

Most residential plots in Machakos Town come with either freehold titles (permanent ownership) or leasehold titles (typically 99 years). We verify all titles through official searches at the lands registry before listing any property.

Yes, the county government requires approved architectural plans that meet zoning regulations. There are height restrictions (maximum 3 floors in most areas) and required setbacks from plot boundaries. Some gated communities may have additional design guidelines.

While some areas have piped water connections from the county, many properties rely on boreholes which are common and permitted. All new developments must include proper water storage solutions as part of their building plans.

Standard practice involves paying a deposit (typically 10-30%) to secure the plot, with balance due within agreed period (usually 30-90 days). Some sellers accept installment payments over longer periods at negotiated terms. We recommend using lawyers for all transactions.

For plots with ready titles, the transfer process typically takes 4-8 weeks after full payment, depending on lands office workload. This includes stamp duty payment (4% of property value), registration fees, and updating the land registry records.
