7 Frequently Asked Questions About Buying Plots With Us
Buying land is a major milestone, and at Thuo Gitau Land Investment Company LTD, we strive to make the process transparent, secure, and stress-free. Below are the 7 most frequently asked questions buyers ask us before investing in a plot.
1. How do I book a plot with Thuo Gitau Lands Investments?
Booking a plot begins with a site visit to confirm the location, accessibility, beacons, and surrounding developments. After choosing your preferred plot, you can reserve it by paying a booking fee or deposit, which is then deducted from your final price.
We issue a Letter of Offer that contains the plot number, size, purchase price, payment terms, and buyer details. You will also receive a receipt for all payments made.
2. What documents do I receive after payment?
Once you make your deposit or installment, we issue:
- Official receipts for every payment.
- A Letter of Offer confirming your ownership interest.
- A Sale Agreement, prepared after you pay the required deposit (usually 10–30%).
After completing payment, we process your title deed or ownership documents depending on the project type (freehold, leasehold, or controlled gated development).
3. Can I pay for the plot in installments?
Yes, our clients love the flexibility. We offer friendly, interest-free installment plans ranging from 3 to 12 months, depending on the project.
You can also pay via bank deposit, mobile money (M-Pesa), or direct transfer. Your installment plan is clearly outlined in the Letter of Offer and Sale Agreement to avoid confusion.
4. How long does it take to get the title deed?
Title processing varies based on the county, the land registry, and the nature of the project.
Generally:
- Individual titles: 3–6 months after completion of payment
- Mother-title subdivision projects: 6–12 months depending on survey and county approvals
You will receive timely updates on survey progress, approvals, and registry status until your title deed is ready for collection.
5. Are site visits free, and how do I book one?
Yes, site visits are free. You can book one any day of the week.
Our team will guide you through the property, show you the beacons, explain the available plots, and brief you on nearby developments such as schools, roads, markets, and upcoming infrastructure.
Site visits help you verify everything physically before making your decision.
6. Is the land free from disputes, encumbrances, or pending issues?
All Thuo Gitau Lands Investments projects undergo strict due diligence before being launched. We conduct:
- Official land searches at the county registry
- Survey verification to confirm boundaries and beacons
- Physical planning approvals to ensure projects meet zoning requirements
- Checks for caveats, disputes, or encumbrances
Clients are also encouraged to conduct their own search for peace of mind.
7. Can I build immediately after buying?
This depends on the project.
- For fully serviced plots (with access roads, beacons and approvals), construction can begin as soon as you receive your title deed and relevant county building permits.
- For upcoming developments, you may wait until internal roads, survey work, and utility access are completed.
Our team will guide you on timelines and any zoning restrictions.
