Conversion from leasehold to freehold is possible but subject to government approval and payment of conversion fees. In Nakuru, this typically requires: proof of ownership, clearance certificates from county government, survey documents, and payment of premium fees which range from Ksh 500,000 to Ksh 2 million depending on location and size.

Leasehold properties incur annual ground rent (Ksh 5,000-50,000 depending on size/location), land rates to county government (0.1-0.3% of land value), and potential service charges if in a managed estate. These costs are typically lower than freehold property taxes.

Properties with longer remaining terms (70+ years) command premium prices as they're seen as more secure investments. Those below 30 years may require renewal negotiations soon. In Nakuru's active market, most available leases have at least 50 years remaining.
