On the contrary, I am more comfortable buying a plot with an allocation certificate in this area than a title. Thika lands registry is more than a mess hence there are many fake titles. With an allocation certificate, you simply walk to the Kahawa sukari Ltd company and they verify who the current owner is since they are the issuers who sold the land. You can then apply for a title with that.
The price maybe exaggerated; based on who you ask. However what you are paying for is order in a residential neighbourhood. No house is allowed to go more than 2 floors (unless its an attic). You can't build more than 2 detached units on your plot, keep livestock, have a grave etc and the welfare staff go round everyday checking anyone breaking the rules then call kanjo to deal. Security matters are also well organised in the entire estate which is divided into zones for this. The welfare has licensed only 3 garbage collection companies to operate in the estate for security reasons.

just a piece of mind.
