Frequently Asked Questions

Karen's commercial zoning permits retail shops, offices, restaurants (excluding nightclubs), medical facilities, banks, and other professional services. Some areas allow mixed-use developments combining commercial and residential components.

All title deeds should be verified at the Ardhi House lands registry. For properties under mother title, ensure the seller has obtained all necessary consents from the Commissioner of Lands. We recommend conducting an official search and involving a lawyer in the verification process.

The ongoing expansion of Langata Road and planned upgrades to Karen Road are expected to improve accessibility. The Nairobi County government has also announced plans to extend sewer lines to more commercial areas in Karen within the next two years.

Most transactions follow this process: 10% deposit to secure the plot after title verification, followed by balance payment within 60-90 days. For larger parcels (1+ acres), payments may be structured in installments over 6-12 months with the title held in escrow until final payment.

Foreigners can purchase freehold commercial land without restrictions. For leasehold properties (typically 99-year leases), foreign buyers should verify remaining lease term as extensions may require additional fees. All transactions must comply with Kenya's land ownership laws.
