Mixed Use Land for Sale in Katani, Syokimau, Machakos

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, transfer, and lease the land.

Leasehold

Ownership for a fixed term, typically 99 or 999 years, granted by the government or a private entity.

Sectional Title

Ownership of a unit (e.g., apartment) within a multi-unit development, with shared ownership of common areas.

Mailo Land

A customary land tenure system in parts of Uganda, but also found in some Kenyan contexts (e.g., coastal region). Not common in Machakos.

Need Help Verifying a Title?
