The Right Legal Work for Your Property Decision
Property decisions connect ownership, money, documents and future plans. WKA Advocates helps you identify the legal questions that should be answered before you sign, pay or complete. We provide a focused starting point for buyers, sellers, landlords, developers and overseas clients with Kenyan property matters.
A search, due diligence report and full conveyancing service are different instructions. Start by explaining the property and what you want to achieve. We can then discuss the proposed scope, documents required and the work that depends on registries, lenders, technical advisers or other parties.
Choose Your Property Lawyer With Clear Criteria
Ask who will handle the file, which checks are included and how the findings will be reported. Compare written deliverables and fee terms rather than relying on a ranking or a headline price. Our guide to choosing a property lawyer explains practical questions to ask before instructing.
Understand the Property Before Committing
Connect the title to the seller, the land on the ground and your intended use. Review the contract, deposit arrangements and completion conditions alongside the investigation. An apartment, development plot, financed purchase and occupied commercial property may each raise different issues.
Use the due diligence checklist and transaction budgeting guide to prepare your initial enquiry.
