Property Fraud -There have been increased cases of property fraud in the country as the expansion of real estate continues to pick high.
Most towns are now filled up with both residential as well as commercial apartments making land prices to soar and conmen to thrive. Since the inception of county governments.
Buying land is not like waking up to your nearest shop to buy bread and a packet of tea leaves. Take your time to do desired research on the real-time status of the plot you want to buy.
For example, use the neighbouring to source as much information as possible on the piece of land you are intending to exchange with your hard’earned cash.
Secondly, go to the department of Lands and dig deeper into the land documents on sale. A simple search may start giving you some hope. It doesn’t stop there, take the documents to a reputable property lawyer or land dealer to scrutinise and ascertain authenticity.
It is not bad to use a few more coins on establishing the truth on the plot you are about to buy.
Last but not least, make sure you have witnesses from both sides to sign the land sale agreement. Atleast two from each side can complete this stage.
Worthy of note, succession cases are riskier. Always buy direct transfer properties. Direct means the owner or owners are alive with accurate documents.
