Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the conveyancing process take?

What documents do I need for property transfer?
Essential documents include the original title deed, national ID or passport, KRA PIN certificate, stamp duty payment receipts, and a duly executed sale agreement. We provide a comprehensive checklist and assist in obtaining any missing documentation.
What are the costs involved in conveyancing?
Conveyancing costs include legal fees, stamp duty (4% for non-agricultural land, 2% for agricultural land), registration fees, and search fees. We provide transparent cost estimates upfront so there are no surprises.

A title search reveals the property's ownership history, any existing encumbrances, caveats, or restrictions that may affect your purchase. It's a crucial step in protecting your investment and ensuring you acquire clean, unencumbered title to the property.
