Land Due Diligence

Land in Kenya has historically been subject to massive fraud. Land due diligence is important before acquiring land to ascertain that the property is void of any cautions, caveats and encumbrances and that the information presented on the title deed document is valid and not fraudulent. A land due diligence also establishes the location of the property to ascertain that the property on the ground is the same as what is presented by the title deed.

Land Identification and Boundary Verification

The first step of land due diligence exercise is the land identification process involves confirming the physical location of the property and confirm that it indeed corresponds to relevant survey documents filed at Survey of Kenya and the Land Ministry records. We also check to see if the property sits on public land, riparian land, water reserve or freight path. We also check if the property is subject to flood risk per the relevant land laws.

Title Deed Investigation

Title deed investigation involves checking the historical background of the property to find out if the property was genuinely acquired. We also check if the property has any cautions, encumbrances or caveats and also confirm the registered proprietor for the property. Further to that, we check if the property is subject to any succession or compulsory acquisition.
