Understanding Property Titles in Kenya

In Kenya, property titles are governed primarily by the Land Registration Act, 2012, and the Registration of Titles Act. These laws establish a system of land registration that provides conclusive evidence of ownership. Types of titles include freehold, leasehold, and common ownership. A critical aspect of securing expert legal advice is understanding the implications of title searches, which reveal registered owners, encumbrances (like charges or cautions), and any legal disputes associated with the land. Mwenda Njagi & Co. Advocates conducts thorough title searches to ensure accuracy and legality.
