Understanding Conveyancing in Kenya: Key Legal Frameworks
Conveyancing in Kenya is primarily governed by the Land Registration Act (2012), the Registered Land Act (Cap. 300) (for older titles), the Stamp Duty Act, and various regulations concerning land acquisition and transfer. The process involves drafting and reviewing Sale Agreements, conducting due diligence on the property to verify ownership and identify any encumbrances (like charges or cautions), facilitating the payment of Stamp Duty to the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), and lodging the necessary instruments for registration at the relevant Land Registry. Mwenda Njagi & Co.
