Doing a land search

A land search will reveal the following;

The current registered owner(s) of a property and the duration of their ownership.
The current encumbrance(s) against the title deed, like bank loans, court judgements or “cautions” by any interested parties.
Fill in the Search Application form and submit it to the relevant registrar of lands office, together with

A copy of the title deed (preferably a certified copy) to the prospective property.
A copy of your ID.
A copy of your KRA PIN certificate.
Once processed, the registry will issue you the search report, detailing the status of the title in question.

If unable to conduct the land search yourself, hire a licensed advocate of the High Court of Kenya. Be sure to confirm the validity of their current practise license with the Law Society of Kenya, as each advocate must make annual renewals of their license to practice law within the Republic of Kenya.
