The off-plan due-diligence checklist
14 checks, grouped in the order you do them. Every one is a public record you can confirm yourself before any money moves. Print it, take it to your advocate, and tick as you go. The reasoning behind each item is in the complete off-plan guide.
The land and the title
- Official title search done; owner equals developer; encumbrances clean
- Lease term confirmed; enough unexpired years to mortgage
- Any extension, change of user, or amalgamation is registered
- Sectional plan and a separate title for your unit confirmed
The developer
- CR12 obtained; directors known; no adverse court cases
- Developer track record checked (visited a completed project)
The approvals
- County building permit and change of user verified
- NEMA EIA licence verified; NCA contractor verified
The money
- Full price and all outgoings in writing, and budgeted
- Payment to the official account; escrow or milestones in place
- KRA PIN ready; stamp duty budgeted
The contract
- Sale Agreement reviewed and marked up by your own advocate
- Default, interest, completion-date, and refund clauses understood
- Advocate's LSK practising certificate verified; conflict check done
This is general guidance, not legal advice. Engage a qualified Kenyan advocate for your own transaction; the sale agreement and every payment stay between you, the developer and your advocate.
