Purchasing land, whether for residential or commercial purposes, is one of the most significant investments you’ll make in your lifetime. But the process can be daunting, especially when it comes to understanding the legal steps involved. From sale agreements to land control board consents and conveyancing, navigating the Kenyan legal landscape requires careful attention to detail and proper guidance.
At Wiklund Property Company, we understand the complexities of land buying and are here to help you every step of the way. Our mission is to ensure that you not only find the perfect plot but also have a seamless, stress-free experience throughout the legal process. Here’s how we guide you through the essential legal steps when purchasing property.
1. Sale Agreements: Setting the Foundation for a Secure Purchase
A sale agreement is one of the first and most crucial legal documents you’ll encounter when buying land. It outlines the terms and conditions of the sale, including the purchase price, payment terms, and any obligations from both the buyer and seller. This document legally binds both parties, ensuring that the deal is transparent and that each party knows their responsibilities.

At Wiklund Property Company, we ensure that our clients have a clear, comprehensive sale agreement that protects their interests. Our legal team reviews every agreement to ensure that it complies with Kenyan law and includes all necessary clauses to safeguard your investment. We walk you through the terms, explaining every detail, so you can sign with confidence, knowing there are no hidden surprises.
2. Land Control Board Consents: Safeguarding Your Transaction
In Kenya, any transaction involving the sale, transfer, or subdivision of agricultural land must be approved by the Land Control Board (LCB). This is a vital step in ensuring the legitimacy of the sale and preventing unlawful transactions. The LCB grants consent after verifying that the sale complies with all relevant regulations, including ensuring that the seller is the rightful owner and that there are no pending claims on the land.
At Wiklund Property Company, we handle the entire LCB approval process on your behalf. We prepare all the necessary documentation, submit it to the board, and ensure that you receive consent without unnecessary delays. By partnering with us, you avoid the stress of navigating the bureaucracy, allowing you to focus on the exciting part—your new property!
3. Conveyancing: Transferring Ownership Smoothly and Legally
Conveyancing is the legal process of transferring ownership of property from the seller to the buyer. This process involves several steps, including verifying the title deed, ensuring there are no encumbrances (such as unpaid loans or disputes), and registering the transfer of ownership with the relevant authorities.
Many buyers are unfamiliar with the conveyancing process, which can lead to errors or delays. At Wiklund Property Company, we work with experienced conveyancers who handle this entire process on your behalf. From conducting title searches to preparing transfer documents and liaising with the land registry, we make sure that every step is completed correctly and efficiently.
With us, you won’t have to worry about the legal complexities of transferring ownership. Our team ensures that all documents are in order, fees are paid, and your name is legally registered as the new landowner.
4. Ready Title Deeds: The Final Assurance of Ownership
A title deed is the most critical document in your land purchase as it proves that you are the rightful owner of the property. Unfortunately, cases of fake or forged title deeds are not uncommon, and this is where many unsuspecting buyers run into trouble.
At Wiklund Property Company, we pride ourselves on offering land with genuine, ready title deeds. Before we list any property for sale, we conduct thorough due diligence to verify the authenticity of the title deeds. This gives our clients peace of mind, knowing that their investment is secure and free from legal disputes.
