Are you wondering how to purchase land in Kenya while living abroad? Don’t worry, we are here to provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to make it happen.
Many Kenyans who live/work overseas look forward to investing back here in Kenya often choosing property, especially land, as their preferred investment option. The appeal of land lies in its low maintenance requirements and its tendency to appreciate in value over time. Additionally, you can explore various income-generating activities on the land.
So, if you find yourself abroad with some savings and the desire to invest in land, here’s a straightforward approach. Alpha Shine Real Estate Ltd has integrated digital solutions to ensure that they are accessible around the clock. They include social media, email, and phone.
The Process
Reach out to a real estate company in Kenya through their website or social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or LinkedIn). You can inquire about their available land parcels and ask any questions you may have
The sales representative will provide you with a catalog containing details of land parcels currently available for sale. This catalogue will help you choose the specific land you’re interested in purchasing.
Once you’ve made your selection, the sales representative will send you an updated subdivision map of the chosen land. This map will help you confirm the existence and location of the land. The company can also offer a certified mutation for area calculation
Arrange for a trusted representative (e.g., a family member, friend, or attorney) to visit the site in person. They will verify the details, location, and condition of the land.
We prepare lease contracts in accordance with the law and ensure that they are correctly signed by both parties, the tenant and the management, in order to prevent future issues and establish a level playing field under the law.
Following this, our CRM will send you an offer letter which after reading and agreeing to the terms you sign and send back.
Following your first deposit, you will receive a Sales agreement that you will need to fill out, sign and send it back.
From this point forward, you can start making payments as agreed upon in the sales agreement, using the company’s approved mode of payment and receive an online receipt.
Once you’ve completed the payments, the company will issue you or your representative with an ownership certificate, both in hard and soft copy. This certificate confirms your ownership of the land.
Upon completing the payments, either you or your representative (With a signed authorization letter from an attorney) will receive your Title Deed hard copy, giving you official ownership rights to the land.
You will need to personally collect the title deed or authorize your representative to pick it up on your behalf with a duly signed authorization letter from an attorney. You may also receive a soft copy of the title deed.
