Title Deed Verification

Before you pay for any plot, we confirm that the land is genuine, the seller has the right to sell, and the title is free of hidden encumbrances.

Land fraud is one of the biggest risks in Kenyan real estate. A title deed can look genuine and still carry problems: wrong ownership, unregistered charges, family disputes, unpaid land rates or a pending court case. Our verification process is designed to remove that risk before money changes hands.

What we verify

  • Registry search: we confirm the registered owner and the status of the title at the relevant lands registry.
  • Title authenticity: we check the title number, acreage, map sheet and land reference against official records.
  • Encumbrances: we look for charges, cautions, restrictions, caveats or third-party interests.
  • Survey and beacons: we confirm the plot boundaries and physical beacons on the ground.
  • Land rates and rents: we check for outstanding statutory payments that could block transfer.
  • Transfer readiness: we confirm what is required for a clean transfer to you, including consents and stamp duty.

Our verification process

  1. You share the property details or the title copy you have.
  2. We conduct an official registry search and document review.
  3. Our site team visits the land and checks the beacons.
  4. We prepare a clear verification report with our findings.
  5. Only after verification do we recommend proceeding to payment.

What you receive

  • A written verification summary
  • Confirmation of ownership and encumbrances
  • Site and beacon confirmation
  • Guidance on the transfer and registration process

Important

Verification is not a substitute for independent legal advice. We recommend that every buyer instruct their own advocate to review the sale agreement and transfer documents before signing.
