How to Choose the Right Plot for Sale in Kenya
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Plot:
Location
Location determines accessibility, and accessibility, in turn, determines the value of the land. For example, land located near major roads, towns, or cities is generally considered more valuable and pricy than land in remote areas. Additionally, land located in areas that are developing rapidly may increase in value over time.
Title Deed
A title deed is a legal document that confirms ownership of the land. It is important to verify that the seller has a valid title deed for the land being sold. A title search can help identify any liens, claims, or disputes on the land.
Land Use
How do you intend to use the land after purchase? Different land uses require different zoning requirements and permits. For instance, agricultural land may require a different set of permits than commercial or residential land. It is important to verify with the local authorities that the intended land use is permissible and complies with zoning laws.
Land Size and Topography
The size and topography of the land are important factors to consider when purchasing land in Kenya. The both should be appropriate for the intended use. For example, if the land is intended for commercial use, the size should be sufficient to accommodate the business. Additionally, land with a steep slope may be difficult to develop or use for certain purposes.
Infrastructure
Infrastructure includes roads, electricity, water, and sewerage systems. Land located near existing infrastructure may be more valuable than land located in remote areas without infrastructure. Additionally, access to infrastructure can make development and use of the land easier and more cost-effective.
Cost
The cost of land varies depending on location, size, and intended use. It is important to research the market and compare prices before making a purchase. In addition, it is important to factor in any additional costs such as legal fees, taxes, and survey fees.
