Know before you buy Compare 3
When buying land in Kenya, the type of deed determines your ownership rights and obligations. The three main types are Freehold, Leasehold, and Sectional Title, each governed by the Land Act 2012 and related statutes. This guide explains the differences to help you make an informed decision.
Freehold is the most absolute form of land ownership in Kenya, granting the holder indefinite ownership of both the land and anything on it. Governed by the Land Act 2012, freehold titles are typically issued for agricultural or residential land and have no expiry date.
Buyers seeking long-term investment, agricultural use, or family homes with full control.
Leasehold grants ownership of the land for a fixed period, typically 99 years, after which ownership reverts to the lessor (often the government or a private entity). Governed by the Land Act 2012, leasehold is common for urban properties and land in planned developments.
Buyers looking for affordable urban property or investment with a defined time horizon.
Sectional title ownership applies to units within a multi-unit development, such as apartments or townhouses. The owner holds a freehold interest in their unit and a shared interest in common areas. Governed by the Sectional Properties Act 2020.
Buyers seeking a managed property with shared amenities, such as apartments or townhouses.
Step-by-step
Buying land in Nakuru County involves a clear legal process. Follow these steps to secure your plot—from search to registration—with guidance from the Ministry of Lands and a qualified advocate.
Browse listings for small plots in Nakuru County—areas like Bahati, Gilgil, Lanet, London, Mbaruk/Eburu, Molo, Naivasha, Nakuru Town East, Nakuru Town West, Njoro, Olkaria, Rongai, and Subukia. Use Jumuika to filter by price (median KES 750,000) and size.
Hire a lawyer registered with the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) to conduct due diligence. The advocate will verify the title deed at the Nakuru Lands Registry and check for encumbrances, caveats, or disputes.
Your advocate submits a search application at the Nakuru Lands Office or via eCitizen. This confirms the registered owner, land size, and any restrictions. Obtain a green card or official search certificate.
Once satisfied with the search, sign a legally binding sale agreement prepared by your advocate. Pay a 10–30% deposit (typically via bank transfer or lawyer's client account). The agreement should include a completion timeline.
For agricultural land (common in Nakuru's rural areas), you must apply for consent from the Land Control Board in the sub-county where the land is located. Both buyer and seller appear before the board. This is mandatory for transactions involving agricultural land.
Your advocate prepares the transfer documents. Pay stamp duty (2% for rural land, 4% for urban) at the Nakuru Lands Office or via KRA. After payment, the transfer is registered and a new title deed issued in your name.
Pay the balance to the seller upon successful transfer. Obtain a completion certificate and take physical possession of the land. Update your records with the county government for rates and other taxes.
