- Can be passed on to heirs without restrictions
- Higher resale value and easier to finance
Watch out for
- Typically more expensive per acre than leasehold

- May require more due diligence to verify title authenticity
- Less common in urban centres like Gilgil town
Best for
Buyers seeking long-term investment or family land in rural/suburban areas

Pros
- Individual title deed for the unit

- Often includes security and managed estate services
- Can be financed by banks more easily than freehold land
Watch out for
