Before you buy that plot in Gilgil, make sure the boundaries are right. A proper survey can save you from costly disputes later. Here's what you need to know about the different types of land surveys in Kenya.

Know Your Boundaries

A land survey is your first line of defense against boundary disputes and encroachment. In Gilgil, where land use ranges from residential estates to agricultural plots, verifying the exact size and boundaries of a property is essential before you commit. The Survey Act (Cap 299) governs all surveys in Kenya, so always work with a licensed surveyor.

📐 Types of Land Surveys

Perimeter Survey

Marks the exact boundaries of a plot using beacons and a survey plan. This is the most common survey for land purchase.

Topographical Survey

Maps the contours, slopes, drainage, and existing features (trees, buildings, roads) on the land.

Mutation Survey

Subdivides a larger parcel into smaller plots or consolidates multiple plots into one. Creates new title deeds.

Beacon Survey

Places or replaces physical beacons (concrete pillars or iron pins) at the corners of a plot to mark boundaries permanently.
