Young this is damn true.But also be careful and especially with con-men who normally have fake papers which in appearance resemble real titles.
I have seen situation where lawyers transacted the fake papers without realizing.
Be cautious and take your time.Don't jump in full; unless you are very sure pay in bits.Conmen will more than often ask you to pay full amount and always in a hurry.The good thing about investment clubs is that by the time you buy from them they have tested the waters and the property more than often will be safe.I normally buy from a group of teachers and i have introduced some members from wazua and have acquired.If interested you can reach me on githukusm@yahoo.com.They have nice plots along the Ruiru eastern bypass.
All the same investment hunting of whichever nature is never completely risk free after all the greatest risk is to risk nothing.

you said bro !!

It would be ignorance to commit your hard earned cash without legal backing.The lawyers ask for small percentage and which is worth the stress you may have should you be conned

After all this speech can one come up with a list of reputable companies who do sell land in Kenya.

It's always important to ensure you buy plots that have titles so that you can verify with the government (through lands registry) that the seller is the real owner of the land through search and/or purchase of green card for a better understanding of ownership history. Remember the certificates that sellers (individuals, groups or companies)give are self-designed and not legal documents. I've seen cases where con men give certificates then use the mother title as collateral for loans that they fail to pay and the land is auctioned.

If in doubt of the original title, always get the sellers original ID that you can check genuineness via banks. If the seller is not willing to avail the ID, dismiss the deal.

Simple due diligence on the documtation dictates that you can not pay for a plot that does not belong to the person offering it for sale.
Don't ever be hasty about buying land and you have to make all assurances doubly sure in conjuction with experts.

Better miss that chance and pay a little higher for a clean genuine plot.

A genuine seller is not always in a hurry, it is mostly the con men that want to rush you, Plot purchase is a process but the bottom line is that due process must be followed.

If u can get one with a title or u got a choice, avoid untitled plots, allotment letters and land share certificates, even if u gotta pay more... these r replete with mines that even lawyers may not find during a search.
