Comfort Homes Simplifying the Title Deed Transfer Process in Kenya

 


By John Kariuki 


Comfort Homes, Kenya’s leading real estate developer, has revolutionized land ownership by making the title deed transfer and issuance process seamless, transparent, and efficient. Under the visionary leadership of Dr. Hezekiah Kariuki Mwangi, Comfort Homes has earned a reputation as the most reliable, affordable, and customer-focused land-buying and selling company in the country.


Purchasing land is only the first step; the legal transfer of ownership through a title deed is crucial to securing full property rights. The process, which legally takes 90 days, involves several legal and administrative steps. Comfort Homes has broken it down into five key stages to guide buyers through a smooth transition to official ownership.


Comfort Homes begins by obtaining the necessary transfer documents to ensure the land is free of outstanding charges. These include land rates and rent clearance certificates, which confirm all payments have been made. The company then facilitates the completion of transfer forms, ensuring both buyer and seller meet all legal requirements, including securing Land Control Board (LCB) consent.


Once documentation is in place, Comfort Homes oversees property valuation and stamp duty payment. A government valuer assesses the land to verify its purchase price, after which the buyer pays stamp duty to the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA). Comfort Homes ensures that all legal taxes are paid and that the franking process—which confirms tax clearance—is completed without delays.


With financial and legal requirements met, Comfort Homes submits all transfer documents for registration at the lands registry. This includes the original title deed, land search documents, clearance certificates, valuation report, buyer and seller identification, and passport photos. Upon successful registration, Comfort Homes ensures that the buyer receives an official title deed in their name.


As part of its commitment to transparency, Comfort Homes issues the title deed directly to the new owner, eliminating unnecessary delays. To guarantee peace of mind, the company also advises landowners to conduct a post-purchase land search at the lands registry to verify that the title deed is officially recorded under their name.


Through its structured and reliable process, Comfort Homes continues to redefine real estate transactions in Kenya. By prioritizing efficiency, legal compliance, and customer satisfaction, Comfort Homes remains the preferred partner for Kenyans looking to invest in land with confidence.
