Is your land ownership truly secure?

Many Kenyan property owners believe a title deed is the ultimate shield.

But the Supreme Court's landmark ruling in Dina Management Limited v County Government of Mombasa has completely rewritten the rules of property ownership in Kenya.

The Court ruled that a title deed is not absolute proof of ownership if the original allocation of the land was illegal or irregular.

If the root of the title is defective, all subsequent transfers, even to completely innocent buyers, are null and void.

This means the traditional shield of being a
bona fide purchaser for value will not protect you if the land was originally a public utility or allocated unlawfully.

In Kenyan real estate, a standard registry search is no longer enough, deep historical due diligence is your only real shield.

All work with no play makes Jack a dull boy.

Last Friday, we stepped out, had some fun, and took a much needed break from the usual routine and it did exactly what it needed to do.

It brought us closer, opened up our communication, and reminded us how much stronger we are when we’re connected beyond the work.

This was a such an amazing time that made us a better team.

Can you use your land to secure a loan? Yes, but here’s what that really means.

A charge is simply a legal promise to a lender: you keep ownership of your land, but the bank gets a claim over it until the loan is fully paid. If you default, they can recover their money through the property.

Good news? You’re still the owner. You can even sell the property usually by clearing the loan as part of the sale with the permission of the bank.

Before you commit, understand the process, costs, and your rights. And always involve a lawyer to protect your interests.
