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

Pros

  • Greater freedom to develop or transfer the land
  • Easier to use as collateral for loans
Watch out for

Pros
  • Individual ownership of a unit with shared common areas
  • Clear legal framework for management and dispute resolution
  • Can be freehold or leasehold underlying title
  • Easier to finance with a mortgage
Watch out for
