LEGAL DISCLAIMER
last updated: January 2026
1. Introduction
This Legal Disclaimer is an integral part of your engagement with LANDS KENYA. It clarifies the legal boundaries of our role and services as a real estate agency and land brokerage operating in Kenya. By using our website or instructing us to provide services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and accepted the terms of this disclaimer.
2. Our Role as a Real Estate Agency
LANDS KENYA is a licensed real estate agency operating under the Estate Agents Act of Kenya. Our primary function is to act as an intermediary between buyers and sellers of land. We market properties, facilitate site visits, and coordinate the transaction process. We are not a party to the sale agreement between the buyer and the seller, and we do not hold any ownership interest in the properties we list.
3. No Legal, Financial, or Tax Advice
It is a fundamental principle of our service that we do not provide legal, financial, tax, valuation, or investment advice. The information we provide about a property, including its title status, zoning, or potential, is for general informational purposes only. This information is not a substitute for professional advice tailored to your specific circumstances. You must consult with your own independent, qualified professionals before making any decision to buy or sell land. The complexities of Kenyan land law, taxation, and finance require expert guidance that we are not authorized to give.
4. Reliance on Information
While we make every reasonable effort to ensure the accuracy of the information we provide, we do not guarantee its completeness or freedom from error. Property details, including boundaries, size, and physical condition, can change. The definitive source of all legal information regarding a property is the official record at the Ministry of Lands and the relevant County Government planning department. You rely on any information from us at your own risk and should conduct your own independent verification.
5. Title Verification and Due Diligence
Our verification process is a critical service we offer to enhance transparency. However, it is a facilitation step and not a comprehensive legal due diligence. A full and proper due diligence investigation must be conducted by a licensed advocate on your behalf. This includes, but is not limited to, a thorough search at the Ministry of Lands, a physical inspection of the property, and verification of all necessary consents and clearances. We strongly advise that you do not proceed with any transaction without this independent legal review.
6. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by Kenyan law, LANDS KENYA shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of our services or your reliance on any information we provide. This includes, but is not limited to, damages for loss of profits, business interruption, or loss of data. Our liability for any claim related to our services is strictly limited to the amount of commission paid to us for the specific transaction in question. This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury resulting from our negligence, or for any other liability that cannot be lawfully excluded under Kenyan law.
7. Governing Law
This Legal Disclaimer is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Kenya. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with this disclaimer shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Kenya.
8. Acknowledgement
By proceeding with our services, you expressly acknowledge that you understand the limitations of our role and that you are responsible for seeking your own independent professional advice. You agree that you will not hold LANDS KENYA liable for any adverse consequences resulting from your failure to obtain such advice.
