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.
Below
is a look at how to check a title deed online in Kenya through the Ardhisasa
platform:
1)
Go to the Ardhisasa website on your computer or smartphone.

through, you can print the results of the search.
