Real Estate Property Law in Kenya: What You Need to Know for Successful Transactions and Investments
Kenya’s real estate market is experiencing tremendous growth, fueled by increasing urbanization, demand for residential and commercial properties, and government incentives for infrastructure development. As more investors, developers, and individual buyers enter the market, understanding the legal framework governing property and real estate in Kenya has never been more critical. Property transactions, whether involving land, buildings, or developments, require meticulous attention to legal requirements to avoid disputes, financial losses, and delays.
At OMW Oyomba Mosota & Wamwea Advocates, we offer expert legal services tailored to the complexities of Kenya’s real estate sector. Our legal team is dedicated to ensuring that every transaction, from property acquisitions to lease agreements, complies with the relevant laws and regulations. Whether you are a private buyer, a developer, or a corporate investor, we provide end-to-end legal support to help you achieve your goals.
Our services include drafting and reviewing property acquisition and disposal agreements, conducting comprehensive due diligence on properties, and facilitating smooth conveyancing processes. We ensure that all legal aspects of the transaction are carefully managed, from the initial contract to the final transfer of ownership. One of the key areas we focus on is ensuring tax compliance.
