Most Kenyans living and working abroad always look forward to investing back home. This comes despite others opting to invest in the countries they live in.
Investing at home, however, has many opting for land, even as others opt to invest in other businesses or a ready house.
One of the primary reasons they choose to do land is that it needs very little or no maintenance (land rates) once one has purchased it.
The other reason is that the value of land increases, and if one changes their mind and decides to dispose-off of the property, it’s a good investment.
Most real estate companies have adopted digital solutions as part of their more comprehensive strategy to ensure the company serves all at all times.
This means you can reach them anytime through social media, email, or phone numbers, 24/7
So, here is what you need to buy land from the diaspora, as well as the steps you will have to undertake;
Once you get in touch with a sales team member via our website or social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or LinkedIn), you will get information about our products and answers to any queries you might have.
The sales representative will then send you a catalog that contains all parcels of land on sale at that particular time for you to choose the one you’d like to buy. Once you select, the sales rep will send you an updated subdivision map of the land.
You will then send a representative for a site visit; your representative has to be someone you trust. It could be your parent, sibling, wife, or friend.
Once your representative confirms everything, including the existence of the land, and you are satisfied and want to continue with the buy, the company will request your identification documents, including; a copy of your ID, KRA PIN, and three passport-sized photos and scanned documents of the same to via email.
They will then send you a sale agreement, which you must complete and sign.
From here, you can begin making payments as agreed in the sale agreement to the company’s accounts using the agreed mode of payment.
Once you complete the payment, you or your representative will receive an ownership certificate in hard and soft copy.
You will have the ownership certificate until the title deed is processed, upon which you will be required to pay the title transfer fee.
You will then be required to pick up the title deed in person or send your representative to pick it up with an authorization letter signed by an attorney. A soft copy of the title deed can also be sent to you.
