WHY PAY FOR TITLE DEED TRANSFER?

-

 YOU WANT TO GET THE READY DOCUMENT? ALL DONKEY WORK DONE FOR YOU? THEN PAY FOR TIME SPENT TO DO THIS FOR YOU......


Many people don’t like going through the process of land registration in Kenya because they count it as tedious. If you know the process and the documents required, you will be able to register or transfer your piece of land in no time. The process can take approximately 90 days.

Here is the process of registering or transferring land in Kenya.

Apply and obtain land rent clearance certificate

This is done from the commissioner of lands office. The seller’s lawyer will obtain this certificate at no cost and can take up to 19 days to get it.

Apply, pay and obtain rates clearance certificate

Again this is done by the seller’s lawyer from the National City Council Government. The whole process can take five days at the cost of Ksh. 10,000. This certificate proves that there’s no outstanding fees to be paid at the City County’s office. Lawyer’s fees are calculated according to the value of the land.

Apply for a search on the title

This stage is very important as it shows if someone else owns the land or if the land has been registered before. One cannot carry out a personal search, it has to be done by the Land Registration office. It takes three days and will cost Kshs. 500.

Apply, obtain consent to transfer

The consent to transfer leasehold land held by the government under the repealed Act is required to be obtained from the National Land Commission. Previously, the consent was obtained from the Commissioner of Lands. This process takes nine days at the cost of Ksh. 1,000.

File the transfer instrument/Document

The draft transfer is done by the buyer’s lawyer at the National Land Commission. The transfer instrument has to be approved by the seller’s counterpart before it’s filled at the land’s office to be assessed for Stamp Duty. This process will take four days for Ksh. 500.

Receive site inspection by government valuer and obtain valuation report

An inspector will visit the site to verify the the state of the property. The inspector has to be picked up in person and driven to the site. This may happen within one day or may take one month. Once the valuer has inspected the property, a report is compiled which the value is endorsed on the transfer.

Endorsement of value for Stamp Duty and assessment of Stamp Duty

Complete the Stamp Duty from including the purchase price. The stamp duty assessment officer will then assess the stamp duty payable and indicate the amount on the forms. This takes three days.

Payment of Stamp Duty

Pay the stamp duty at Commercial Bank and receive a confirmation from Kenya Revenue Authority. It takes four days for KRA to confirm receipt of payment.

Lodge stamped transfer document for registration.

The stamped transfer documents are lodged for registration at the Lands Office. the seller’s lawyer obtains these documents which include; original certificate of Title, Rates Clearance Certificate, Land Rent Clearance Certificate and the consent transfer. This process takes 12 days.

It is advisable to duly follow the the above processes first to ensure that the property is legit and secondly to speed up the process.

TOMORROW ...... PROCRASTINATION

Procrastination is the act of delaying or putting off tasks until the last minute, or past their deadline. Some researchers define procrastination as a "form of self-regulation failure characterized by the irrational delay of tasks despite potentially negative consequences." It's Friday afternoon and the clock is ticking. You're working furiously to complete a task before the five o'clock deadline, while silently cursing yourself for not starting it sooner. How did this happen? What went wrong? Why did you lose your focus? Well, there were the hours that you spent re-reading emails and checking social media, the excessive "preparation," the coffee breaks, and the time spent on other tasks that you could have safely left for next week. Sound familiar? If so, you're not alone! Procrastination is a trap that many of us fall into. In fact, according to research and speaker Piers Steel 95 percent of us procrastinate to some degree. While it may be

LIFE PLAN

Remember when we were younger, and people used to ask us what we wanted to be when we grew up? It may seem silly to ask an eight-year-old what they hope to do with their life. But maybe this small talk was also a way to get us to think about what we wanted from life. And most of us answered this question with confidence, revealing our hopes and dreams. However, as we grew older and learned how to manage the curveballs life threw at us, we might have lost sight of what we once hoped to become and achieve.  If you catch yourself daydreaming about how your life could be different or maybe just need a better outlook for the future, look no further.  We will cover the basics of life planning, identify strategies and goals to think more about, and learn some tools to get our lives moving on a better track. Ready, set, go. What Is Life Planning? (A Definition) I have a question for you, dear reader. What do you want to be when you grow up? I won’t be upset if you rolled your eyes or let out a

Stop Letting Your Past Define Your Future

  It’s Time To Stop Letting Your Past Define Your Future You’re down, you’re tired, you’re hurting, you’ve somehow lost your way. You’ve given someone’s negative opinion of you far too much credit. You’ve let a failed relationship make you fearful of connecting again. You’ve allowed someone’s poor treatment of you to shift the way you see yourself. YOU HAVE TO STOP...... I know you’ve been through some sh*t. We all have. We all have our share of brokenness, discouragement, emptiness, and defeat. We’ve all lost people.  We’ve all been cheated on or left by someone we loved. We’ve all floundered in our faith or slipped somewhere on the path. We’ve all fought demons, illness, mental issues, and pain. We’ve all been let down, had enemies, or made enemies of ourselves. We’ve all had days when we question whether we have the strength to continue. This is not meant to take your problems and shove them to the side, make light of them, or diminish them in comparison to anyone else’s. This is to
