A land search is a vital due diligence step if you are considering purchasing land in Kenya. In the past, several people have lost millions after being sold fake or stolen land parcels. Others have found themselves purchasing land that has pending issues, such as court cases.
Performing an online land search means checking the title deed of the parcel you are considering to verify its ownership. Once verified, you can proceed to make a transaction. You can also search your title deed to find out if you are the rightful owner of the land, you currently possess.
