Step 4 : Process of buying land
Ask for the title deed or mutation
A title deed helps you verify the owner of the land and that this belongs to the seller. Request for a title or mutation from the seller for you to conduct a search from the Land Registry.
Each county has its own land registry. For instance, if you are purchasing land in Kitengela, it is advised to do your search at Kajiado county offices. The process takes about 2 hours and the cost is KES 550/
What you’ll be checking from the search?
The details of the land including the landowner
Size of the plot / Acreage and caveats registered against the title deed. Checking any unpaid land rates. If there are any, these should be settled by the seller prior to you buying the land.
Also, note that a clearance certificate from City Hall will cost you Ksh. 7,500; however, the fee varies from one county to the other.
