In Kenya, buying and owning land is the most preferred investment due to its lower risk and high returns. Every day, we see, read and watch advertisements for plots of land for sale at affordable prices from all over the country.
Dagma Land Investment is a reliable investment partner offering affordable plots of land for sale. We have various projects throughout the country, including Malindi, Matuu, Malaa, Kantafu, and Ruiru East. Therefore, weigh these five land characteristics when buying land.
- The Legal Area
In most residential areas, boundary markers such as fences or sidewalks mark the legal boundaries of a home. Unfortunately, in most lands in secluded regions are difficult to tell the exact spot where your land begins and ends. There are three methods for checking land boundaries and corners in Kenya:
Use the County assessor plat map
Hire a surveyor
Use GPS coordinates.
Before purchasing land, ensure you know your exact boundaries and corners, so you don’t develop beyond these points.
- Zoning
Municipalities zone their areas differently to control the population and business growth. For example, it would be unfair to buy a plot of land in a residential area and then commercialize your property. In addition, no homeowner wants to invest in the land next to a noisy factory or garbage dump.
Check with the real estate firm you are working with to know if the piece of land you desire to buy has zoning laws or if there is another type of land–Unrestricted land. Unrestricted land has no restrictions and is typically found in the rural parts.
- Structures Stability
Many plots offer endless promises, but not all land is appropriate for every use. For instance, land in Kitengela is most suitable for development, thanks to the rocky structure, while land on the Mwea – Embu highway is suitable for agricultural purposes.
You can perform soil tests to understand the best use for your desired parcel. Remember, the soil makeup will determine whether it’s good to build in or how deep you need to dig for a sturdy and dry structure.
- Path of Growth
The best place to buy land is where it’s currently underdeveloped but has growth potential. Your investment’s value will increase with the rising demand for land due to infrastructure like roads.
You can get these insights from your county planning and zoning department or city planning and zoning department.
- Drainage
If it rains, water gets soaked up into the ground. However, when there’s a heavy downpour, not all the water will soak in immediately, making the area look flooded. Knowing your property’s drainage path will help you make a development plan, to avoid building right on saturated ground.
