The Title Deed Transfer Process in Mombasa: A Detailed Guide

The process of a title deed transfer in Mombasa, Kenya, involves several critical stages, meticulously managed by our legal team. Initially, a preliminary land search is conducted at the Mombasa Land Registry to confirm the registered proprietor and identify any registered encumbrances. Subsequently, a legally binding Sale Agreement is drafted, clearly outlining the terms and obligations of both the buyer and seller. Payment of the requisite stamp duty to the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), calculated on the property's market value, is a mandatory step. The transfer documents are then prepared, signed, and presented for registration at the appropriate registry. Mwenda Njagi & Co. Advocates ensures that all these procedures, from the initial search to the final registration, are executed efficiently and in full compliance with the Land Registration Act, 2012.
