Real Estate Transactions
We provide strategic legal counsel for land acquisition, commercial deals, leases, and asset transfers.
Our approach to real estate transactions
Real estate transactions are foundational to investment, development, and economic growth in Kenya. At Ashitiva Advocates LLP, we advise private investors, developers, corporate entities, institutions, and landowners on the legal intricacies of acquiring, disposing, and managing real estate assets. Whether the transaction involves residential, commercial, industrial, or mixed-use property, we ensure legal clarity, due diligence, and risk mitigation at every stage.
Our team offers end-to-end support — from contract negotiation and title verification to registration and regulatory compliance. We regularly advise on sale and purchase agreements, lease agreements (including long-term and controlled tenancies), and portfolio restructuring. We also assist clients with strategic land banking and bulk acquisitions, including transactions involving public land or foreign ownership restrictions.
Given the evolving real estate landscape, we take a proactive approach to managing risks associated with zoning, tenure, land use restrictions, and emerging digitization in the Lands Registry. We ensure our clients' interests are protected and that their transactions are not only legally sound but commercially viable in the long term.
