Hi,

I do have copies of all the documents.

On the original title it states 'Assignment Of Lease' followed by an apartment number. Then Land reference Number together with 1 share in apartments LTD

(Apartments being the name of the apartments) omitted for obvious reasons.

I also have the original search which states the same LR number with the same Register Vol/Folio/file which correspond to the original lease I received from the former owners.

Hope this helps

Andrew


Hi Andrew,
Thanks for the info. Helps a lot!
Looks like the property was registered under RTA and not under the SPA, because it is an assigned sub-lease to an apartment number. Meaning the seller would have to get consent of the management company before the transfer is done. If everything has been done and the documentation lodged at the lands ministry, you should be fine despite the delays. Again, if your lawyers are full of integrity, (which is a good thing) it is expected it will take longer because the bribe takers at lands might decide to sit on your file a little bit more than usual just because their palms have not been greased smile. Regardless of the cause of delay I do not think you have anything to worry about and you should get your title eventually.

Hi MugundaMan,

Thanks for your insight. It does help a lot to have an independent view.

Purchasing property can always have difficulties no matter which country, however In the UK I would say that the registration with Lands is a very straight forward process once all the correct documents from all parties have been signed and verified.

Any corrupt officials would face much stiffer penalties than normal non government roles. as they are looked on to uphold the law especially if they work as civil servants. They are far from perfect in the UK though as there is a lot of bureaucracy.


I guess the old saying 'patience is a virtue' Is especially relevant in dealing with officials in Kenya.

All the best

Andrew
