Acquisition and Disposal of Property

In the dynamic realm of real estate in Kenya, the acquisition and disposal of property play pivotal roles in shaping the landscape of ownership. Understanding the intricacies of these processes is crucial for individuals, businesses, and organizations looking to navigate the Kenyan legal context effectively.

 

A Look At The Processes 

Property acquisition refers to the act of obtaining, or procuring property, be it land, buildings, or any real estate, through various means such as purchase, inheritance, or lease. On the flip side, property disposal involves the transfer or sale of real estate assets. 

 

Both processes are vital components of real estate transactions and are governed by a series of legal frameworks to ensure transparency and fairness.

 

Property acquisition and disposal are driven by diverse motivations. Individuals may seek property acquisition for personal residences, investment purposes, or agricultural ventures. Conversely, property disposal could be prompted by financial considerations, changing business needs, or the settling of an estate. Both actions are strategic moves that require careful consideration of legal, financial, and practical implications.

 

How We Get Things Done

In Kenya, property transactions are regulated by various laws and other subsidiary legislation to safeguard the interests of all parties involved. 

 

The Constitution of Kenya recognizes the right to own property and dictates the principles guiding land transactions. The Land Act, the Land Registration Act and other relevant legislation further provide a comprehensive legal framework for property acquisition and disposal.

 

We handle acquisitions and disposal of land and property on behalf of our clients by way of; 

• Undertaking due diligence,  to ensure that the property being acquired is free from encumbrances and legal disputes. Title searches, land surveys, and compliance with zoning regulations are crucial steps in the acquisition process

• Preparation of requisite documents, 

• Procuring completion documents from entities such as national and county governments, management companies and corporations, head lessors and secured lenders, 

• and culminating with the registration at the relevant registries.

 

Disposal, on the other hand, demands adherence to legal procedures such as obtaining the necessary approvals, valuing the property, and drafting a comprehensive sales agreement.
