Conveyancing and Real Estate

Conveyancing and Real Estate

At Muchui Mwendwa & Co. Advocates, we recognize that buying, selling, or leasing property is one of the most significant financial decisions anyone can make. The real estate sector in Kenya is rapidly expanding, with urbanization, investments in infrastructure, and the growing demand for property development creating both opportunities and challenges. Navigating this complex landscape requires a trusted legal partner to ensure your transactions are seamless, secure, and compliant with legal requirements.

Conveyancing is the legal process of transferring ownership or interest in property from one party to another. It may sound straightforward, but without proper legal guidance, it can lead to costly mistakes, disputes, or fraud. That’s where our expertise comes in.

What We Offer

1. Title Searches and Due Diligence

Before any property transaction, conducting thorough due diligence is crucial. At Muchui Mwendwa, we conduct comprehensive title searches to verify the legitimacy of ownership and uncover any encumbrances or disputes attached to the property. This step ensures our clients make informed decisions and avoid legal pitfalls.

2. Drafting and Reviewing Agreements

A well-drafted agreement is the foundation of any property transaction. Whether it’s a sale agreement, lease, or tenancy agreement, we ensure that your contracts are airtight, transparent, and tailored to protect your interests. We also negotiate terms on your behalf to achieve favorable outcomes.

3. Property Transfers and Registration

Once an agreement is finalized, the transfer of ownership must be legally registered. Our team facilitates the preparation and lodgment of transfer documents with the relevant land registries. We handle all aspects of registration to ensure compliance with the Land Act, Land Registration Act, and other applicable laws.

4. Financing and Mortgages

For clients seeking financing for property purchases, we provide legal assistance in securing mortgages and loans. We liaise with financial institutions to ensure that the terms of your mortgage agreements are clear, fair, and legally binding.

5. Land Disputes and Litigation

Land disputes are a common challenge in Kenya, often arising from fraudulent transactions, boundary issues, or contested ownership. Our litigation team provides robust representation in resolving disputes through negotiation, mediation, or court proceedings. We aim to protect your property rights and achieve timely resolutions.

6. Real Estate Development Advisory

For developers and investors, we provide end-to-end legal advisory on real estate projects, including joint ventures, compliance with zoning regulations, and drafting contracts for contractors and suppliers.
