We act on the acquisition, disposal and leasing of property. The work runs the full transaction — official searches and title investigation, drafting and negotiating the agreement, obtaining whatever consents the land requires, stamp duty assessment, and lodging for registration.
Property transactions in Kenya carry particular risk around title — a search that isn’t properly investigated, or a consent that isn’t obtained before completion, can undo a transaction months later. We run the full process methodically, from the first search to registration, so nothing is left to be discovered after money has changed hands.
Commercial and residential property transactions, from official search through to registration.

- Sale agreements and transfers — Drafting and negotiating agreements for sale, and managing the transfer to registration.
