Step-by-Step Guide to Buying Property in Kenya

1. Research the Market: Understand the current real estate market trends in Kenya. Look for areas with high growth potential, good infrastructure, and accessibility. NovaPrime offers properties in strategic locations like Kikuyu, Malindi, Joska, and Matuu.
2. Set Your Budget: Determine your budget for the property. Consider all costs involved, including the purchase price, legal fees, taxes, and any other associated costs. NovaPrime provides flexible payment plans to make your investment manageable.
3. Find a Reliable Real Estate Company: Choose a reputable real estate company like NovaPrime that offers transparency, integrity, and excellent customer service. A reliable company will guide you through the process and ensure a secure transaction.
4. Visit the Property: Schedule a site visit to see the property in person. This allows you to assess the location, terrain, and surrounding environment. NovaPrime offers free site visits to help you make an informed decision.
5. Verify the Title Deed: Ensure that the property has a legitimate and ready title deed. This legal document is crucial for verifying ownership and avoiding disputes. NovaPrime guarantees ready title deeds for all its properties.
6. Negotiate the Price: Once you’ve selected a property, negotiate the price with the seller. NovaPrime offers competitive pricing and exclusive deals to ensure you get the best value for your investment.
7. Hire a Lawyer: Engage a qualified lawyer to handle the legal aspects of the purchase. They will conduct due diligence, verify documents, and ensure that the transaction complies with Kenyan property laws.
8. Complete the Purchase: Sign the sale agreement and make the payment as per the agreed terms. NovaPrime’s flexible payment plans allow you to spread the cost over several months, making it easier to manage your finances.
9. Register the Property: After the purchase, register the property with the Ministry of Lands. This final step ensures that the property is legally transferred to your name.
10. Obtain the Completion Certificate: Once the construction of the property (if applicable) is completed, ensure you obtain a completion certificate from the local authority. This certificate verifies that the construction has been carried out according to approved plans and regulations.
11. Conduct a Final Inspection: Before finalizing the purchase, conduct a thorough inspection of the property. Ensure that it meets your expectations and that any agreed-upon repairs or modifications have been completed. NovaPrime can assist in arranging this inspection.
12. Finalize the Sale: Complete the sale by signing the necessary legal documents and making the final payment. Your lawyer will guide you through this process, ensuring that all legal requirements are met and that the transaction is recorded with the relevant authorities.
13. Transfer Utilities and Services: After the purchase, ensure that all utilities and services (such as water, electricity, and waste disposal) are transferred to your name. This step ensures that you can start using the property without any delays.
14. Plan Your Development (if applicable): If you plan to develop the property further, start by creating a detailed development plan. Consider factors such as building design, permits, and timelines. NovaPrime can provide recommendations for trusted architects and contractors to assist with your project.
