Property Title Searches & Due Diligence Kenya
Investigate a Kenyan property with WKA Advocates: title records, seller authority, encumbrances and transaction-specific legal due diligence.
How WKA Advocates Can Help
A title search provides registry information; a wider due diligence review asks how the ownership records, seller and proposed transaction fit together. We agree the investigation scope around the property, available records and your intended use, then identify material issues for consideration.
Questions may involve tenure, charges, cautions, occupation, access, survey records or planning. We coordinate legal findings with the need for technical input where appropriate. A written report should distinguish reviewed documents from assumptions and explain which outstanding matters should be resolved before proceeding.
Documents for an Initial Review
- The title, certificate or relevant property reference.
- The proposed agreement, offer or existing lease.
- Identity and authority documents for the parties involved.
- Relevant searches, plans, lender records and correspondence.
- Your intended use, objective and any material deadline.
Agree a Scope You Can Understand
We discuss the proposed deliverables, the records still needed and which matters depend on other parties or advisers. A search, legal opinion and full transaction instruction do not involve identical work. Before proceeding, confirm the fee basis and how additional work will be approved. Material findings should be reported in a way that helps you decide whether to proceed, renegotiate or investigate further.
