Why Beaconing Matters Before Buying Land
Buying land is one of the biggest investments you can ever make but it’s also one of the easiest to get wrong if you skip important steps. One key step that many buyers overlook is beaconing.
At Thuo Gitau Lands Investment Company, we always emphasize the importance of beaconing before purchasing any plot. Here’s why it matters more than you might think.
What is Beaconing?
Beaconing is the process of physically marking the boundaries of a piece of land using visible pegs or concrete markers called beacons. These marks show the exact limits of your plot as defined in the land survey map.
It may look simple but it’s what separates a genuine purchase from a future dispute.
Why You Should Never Skip Beaconing
1. Prevents Boundary Disputes
Without clear beacons, two buyers can easily claim the same piece of land. Beaconing ensures your plot is clearly identified and recognized, saving you from unnecessary conflicts with neighbors.
2. Confirms the Exact Plot You’re Buying
Many people have fallen victim to buying land only to realize later that the plot shown wasn’t the one on their title deed. Beaconing matches the physical land with the official map ensuring you get what you paid for.
3. Protects You from Fraud
Unscrupulous sellers sometimes resell already allocated plots. When your land is properly beaconed and documented, it becomes almost impossible for someone to sell it twice.
4. Helps with Construction and Planning
Beacons give you the precise size and shape of your land. This helps you plan where to build, fence, or plant and ensures you stay within your legal boundaries.
5. Adds Legal Credibility
A beaconed plot gives you confidence when processing your title deed or presenting ownership documents. It shows your land has been professionally surveyed and verified.
