Do you know that 8 out of 10 Kenyans consider owning land as one of the most prestigious assets to own? Owning land does not only ensure your financial freedom but also gives one a peace of mind.
The process, however can be a daunting task and one which to successfully achieve, you require guidance and lots of research. This is because not all plots advertised are genuine and some plots might have issues you might not know. So what do you do before handing over cash?
Below are some of the tips that can help.
1. Where Is The Piece Of Land Located?
It is extremely important to research the area where the piece of land is located. Not only does this determine its value and surrounding amenities, but it also gives you a developmental outlook. For example, a piece of land in a developed location might be costly and may be convenient for commercial property. While one which is in a remote place might be affordable but may lack commercial hubs around it.
2. Is The Plot Affordable?
Having a budget when making big purchases is a wise act especially when you are buying land. Some of the questions to ask yourself include;
- Is the plot within your budget?
- Will the plot give you value for the money spent?
- Can you work with a company that has flexible payment plans?

3. Are There Surrounding Amenities And Infrastructure
Features like electricity, water & sewer lines and security are responsible for the growth of the area and ensure convenience. Other features you should look into include the quality of the nearby schools, worship centers, and hospitals.
Such infrastructures and amenities are important for any piece of land because they ensure that you will get the best out of the land you purchase.
4. Is The Area Prone To Natural Hazards?
Do you know why we advice that you go for site visits during the rainy season? This is because flooding is the main challenge in real estates. Having access to such information gives an edge over inaccessible roads, mud slides or any other natural hazards. This research will save you so much heartache and money in the future.
5. What Will You Use The Land For?
As mentioned earlier the location of the land determines the property to build. So if you want a plot for residential use, you can find a plot that is further away from commercial hub which are full of activities. For those who want to build commercial property, you should target an area with human traffic that is buzzing with activities or one with the potential to grow rapidly.
6. What Is The Reputation Of The Land’s Seller?
Unfortunately, people are taking advantage of innocent people by conning them with illegitimate properties. This is why it is important to always buy your land from an authentic real estate company.
The land owner should be registered, with verified buyers and with positive online reviews. Working with a company is less risky than working with an individual, because you will have all the information needed and as a bonus a catalogue of properties to work with.
