The Drafting Process and Legal Requirements
The process of drafting a real estate sales agreement in Nairobi involves a thorough understanding of the client's objectives and the property's legal status. We begin with a detailed consultation to gather all necessary information, including proof of ownership documents and any preliminary agreements. Our advocates then proceed to draft the agreement, ensuring it reflects the agreed terms accurately and complies with all relevant legal frameworks, such as those governing conveyancing in Kenya. Following the initial draft, we facilitate review and negotiation between parties, making necessary amendments until mutual agreement is reached. Once finalized, the agreement is executed, often followed by stamping at the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) for admissibility in future legal proceedings and registration purposes.
