Sectional Properties
Service Description
This service supports developers in registering sectional properties such as apartments, offices, and other multi-unit buildings. It is guided by the Sectional Properties Act, 2020 (Section 11), the Physical and Land Use Planning Act (PLUPA), Section 57, and other relevant land laws. The process ensures that each unit in a building has its own title, making it legally distinct and transferrable. Why it matters: Sectional property registration is essential for developers who intend to sell or lease out individual units within a building. It allows for the issuance of separate titles to each unit, unlocking financing opportunities, improving transparency, and ensuring compliance with Kenya’s legal framework on property subdivision and planning. Failure to register sectional properties correctly can lead to delays in sales, disputes over ownership, and regulatory penalties. For: Developers creating multi-unit properties requiring individual titles.
