Land to Buy in Kenya: Five Questions Every Buyer Forgets to Ask

Most Kenyan land buyers walk into a site visit with the wrong questions. Not bad questions — just the obvious ones. What’s the price? How big is the plot? How long is the payment plan? Every developer is ready for those. The questions that actually separate a good land purchase from a bad one are different.

The 5 Critical Questions

1. Who pays for internal road construction and long-term estate maintenance?
2. Is there an established homeowners association (HOA) and controlled building code?
3. What percentage of the development is permanently designated for green open spaces?
4. Are all utilities reticulated underground or overhead?
5. What is the timeline for title deed issuance upon final payment?
