    1. Search and Identify Land

    Identify a suitable plot through listings, agents, or direct search. Verify the land's location, size, and zoning. For Ridgeways, half-acre plots are common. Use the Ministry of Lands' online portal or visit the lands office to check the land's ownership and encumbrances.

    Time: 1–2 weeks Typical cost: KES 5,000–20,000
