Land Deed Types in Kenya: Freehold, Leasehold & Sectional Title

Understanding the type of land deed is crucial when buying property in Kenya. The Land Act 2012 and the Land Registration Act 2012 govern land tenure. Here are the three main deed types you'll encounter in Eastleigh and across Kenya.

Freehold

Freehold is the most absolute form of land ownership in Kenya, granting the holder indefinite ownership of both the land and any improvements on it. It is governed by the Land Registration Act 2012.

Pros
  • Permanent ownership with no expiry date
  • No ground rent or lease fees payable to the government
  • Greater freedom to develop, sell, or lease the land
  • Easier to transfer to heirs without government consent
Watch out for
  • Typically more expensive per acre than leasehold
  • Less common in urban areas like Nairobi's CBD
  • May require higher initial capital outlay
Best for

Buyers seeking long-term family land or investment with full control.

Leasehold

Leasehold grants the holder the right to use land for a specified period, typically 99 years for residential or 45-99 years for commercial, after which ownership reverts to the government or lessor. Governed by the Land Act 2012.

Pros
  • Lower purchase price compared to freehold
  • Common in prime urban areas like Eastleigh
  • Lease extensions are possible under the Land Act 2012
  • Often includes infrastructure and services from the lessor
Watch out for
  • Ownership is temporary; land reverts after lease expiry
  • Annual ground rent payable to the lessor
  • Restrictions on development without lessor consent
  • Lease extension can be costly and uncertain
Best for

Buyers looking for affordable urban land or short-to-medium-term investment.

Sectional Title

Sectional title ownership applies to units within a multi-unit development (e.g., apartments, townhouses). The owner holds a freehold or leasehold interest in their unit plus an undivided share of common property. Governed by the Sectional Properties Act 2020.

Pros
  • Individual ownership of a unit with shared common areas
  • Clear legal framework for management and dispute resolution
  • Potential for capital appreciation in well-managed schemes
  • Access to shared amenities like parking, gardens, or security
Watch out for
  • Monthly service charges and sinking fund contributions
  • Less control over common property decisions
  • Subject to by-laws and management committee rules
  • Resale may be restricted by the association's rules
Best for

Buyers of apartments, townhouses, or units in planned developments.
