Land Search and Title Verification in Kenya

We conduct the official search at the registry and read it the way a conveyancer reads it, then go behind the current entry to the root of the title, the history of how it came to the present owner, which is where forgeries, double allocations and irregular subdivisions show themselves. We verify the seller’s identity and capacity to sell, including where the registered owner is deceased, a company, or a family member holding what the family regards as its land. We confirm on the ground, with a surveyor where the parcel warrants it, that the land exists where the documents say it exists and matches its stated size and boundaries. We check encumbrances, charges, caveats and cautions, and the rates and rent position that would otherwise follow the land into your hands. It concludes in a written verification report and one sentence of advice, proceed, proceed on conditions, or walk away.

Buyers before they commit, diaspora purchasers who cannot attend to anything in person, lenders confirming security, and landowners who have not looked at their own title in years and want to know that no entry has appeared on it. For owners abroad, we pair verification with periodic monitoring, a standing search on your parcels at intervals, so that any adverse entry is met early rather than discovered late.
