Leasehold
Ownership of land for a fixed period, typically 99 years, after which ownership reverts to the lessor (government or private entity).
Sectional Title
Ownership of a unit (e.g., apartment or townhouse) within a development, plus shared ownership of common areas.
Mailo Land
A form of land tenure originating from the Buganda region, where the 'mailo owner' holds a freehold interest but tenants (kibanja holders) have occupancy rights.

Understanding Land Deed Types in Kenya
When buying land in Kenya, the type of deed determines your ownership rights and obligations. The Land Act 2012 governs three main tenure types: freehold, leasehold, and sectional title. Each has distinct characteristics that affect long-term value, transferability, and financing options.
Freehold
Freehold grants the owner absolute ownership of the land and any improvements for an indefinite period. The owner has full rights to use, transfer, lease, or bequeath the land, subject to planning and environmental laws. Freehold is the most secure form of land tenure in Kenya.
Pros
- Permanent ownership with no expiry date
- Higher resale value and easier to finance
- No ground rent or lease extension fees
- Full control over land use (subject to zoning)
Watch out for
- Typically higher purchase price than leasehold
- Owner bears all maintenance and land rates
- May require more due diligence to verify title
- Less common in prime urban areas
Best for
Buyers seeking long-term investment, family homes, or agricultural land.
Leasehold
Leasehold grants ownership of the land for a fixed period, typically 50 to 99 years, after which ownership reverts to the lessor (usually the government or a private entity). The lessee pays annual ground rent and must comply with lease conditions. Common for urban land and apartments.
Pros
- Lower upfront cost compared to freehold
- Often located in prime urban areas with infrastructure
- Lease extensions are possible under the Land Act 2012
- Less responsibility for land rates (often paid by lessor)
Watch out for
- Ownership is temporary; value declines as lease expires
- Annual ground rent and potential extension fees
- Restrictions on use and alterations without lessor consent
- Financing may be harder for short remaining leases
Best for
Urban buyers, investors in commercial property, or those with lower capital.
Sectional Title
Sectional title applies to multi-unit developments (apartments, townhouses) where each owner holds a freehold or leasehold interest in their unit plus an undivided share of common property. Governed by the Sectional Properties Act 2020, it allows individual ownership within a shared complex.
Pros
- Individual ownership of a unit with shared amenities
- Clear legal framework for common property management
- Easier to sell or lease individual units
- Often includes security and maintenance services
Watch out for
- Monthly service charges for common areas
- Decisions made by the owners' association may limit autonomy
- Potential for disputes over shared expenses
- Less privacy compared to standalone freehold
Best for
Buyers of apartments, townhouses, or gated community units.
