While buying property, it is important to do a physical site visit as a way of verifying that the property really exists.
A site visit is done after obtaining the property maps, and the visit should include the buyer, the seller, and the surveyor to verify the dimensions. The three also check the beacons, and if they are not there, they should be erected to avoid future disputes.
Individual sellers might at times not facilitate site visits so you might be required to make your own arrangements convenient for all stakeholders. As a company, however, we understand that it is important for you as a land investor to fully understand the area while gauging your option. For that reason, we offer free daily site visits Monday to Sunday at the convenience of our client
Our most common pick-up points for the visit include but are not, limited to:
Our offices are in Thika town Quickmat building 1st floor.
One of the major reasons for conducting a site visit is to ensure that the information provided in the advertisement is true, including distance from the main road, water and electricity provision, and social amenities among other issues. Also, for the simple fact that the land actually exists.
Check the distance from where the land is located to the nearest schools, police stations, shopping centers, and administrative offices. Also, monitor the transport system and its availability at all times.
It is important to tag along a second or third person to give you an independent opinion about the property, rather than depending solely on your opinion to make a decision. This could be your spouse or a real estate agent, apart from the seller.
Also, ask to speak to neighbors or people who have lived in that area for a long, get information about the land from the area’s government representatives.
