How do I know if a property in Nairobi is genuine?
Before buying or investing in any property, it’s important to perform full due diligence to protect yourself. Here are the key steps to confirm that a property or project is genuine:
- Verify the Title Deed: Conduct an official title search at the Ministry of Lands to confirm the registered owner and check for any encumbrances such as loans or disputes. Ensure the land parcel number on the title matches the physical location and the seller’s documents.
- Confirm the Developer’s Legitimacy: For apartments or estates, research the developer’s background. Check whether they’re a registered company with a traceable track record, and review their previous projects to see if they were completed successfully and delivered as promised.
- Check the Project Team: Verify that the architects, structural engineers, and contractors are licensed professionals under the relevant Kenyan regulatory bodies, such as the Board of Registration of Architects and Quantity Surveyors (BORAQS) and the Engineers Board of Kenya (EBK). This ensures that the construction meets safety and quality standards.
- Review the Mode of Financing (for Off-Plan Projects): Ensure that the project’s financing is transparent — reputable developers should have backing from recognized financial institutions or project escrow accounts. Be cautious if payments go directly to personal accounts instead of official company accounts.
- Visit the Site: Physically inspect the property or send a trusted representative. Confirm that what is being advertised exists on the ground and matches the approved architectural plans.
- Work with a Trusted Realtor: At Vision Homes Kenya, we pre-vet every listing and developer before publishing it on our site. We review ownership documents, development approvals, and project progress to ensure you invest in genuine, verified properties only.
