Frequently asked questions

Is this land sale agreement legally valid in Kenya?
The agreement follows the structure Kenyan advocates use and satisfies the Law of Contract Act (Cap 23) requirement that a disposition of an interest in land be in writing and signed by both parties. It is a template, not legal advice. For any significant transaction, have an advocate review the signed document and run an official title search at the land registry before you pay the deposit.
Do I need Land Control Board consent for my plot?
Only if the land is agricultural land as defined under the Land Control Act (Cap 302), which covers most rural and peri-urban plots. A sale of agricultural land without Land Control Board consent is void unless consent is obtained within six months. The agreement includes a clause making completion conditional on that consent. Plots inside municipalities and gazetted townships are generally exempt.
What details do I need before I buy the document?
The full names and national ID numbers of the seller and buyer, the plot or title number exactly as it appears on the title deed, the location and approximate size of the land, the agreed purchase price in Kenya Shillings, and the target completion date. You type these into a short form and the document is drafted as soon as payment confirms.
Who pays stamp duty and legal fees?
By Kenyan practice the buyer normally pays stamp duty (generally 4% of the property value in urban areas, 2% for rural land) and registration fees, while each party covers their own advocate’s fees unless they agree otherwise. The agreement includes a costs clause you can keep as drafted.
How do I receive the document after paying?
Pay by M-Pesa or card and the agreement is generated straight away, usually inside a minute. You get a download link on screen and a copy by email. The link stays valid for 30 days and up to 10 downloads.
