What is Conveyancing?

Conveyancing is the legal process of transferring property ownership from a seller to a buyer. It ensures that the buyer receives clear and undisputed ownership of the property, and that all legal obligations are met during the transaction.

At Pentan Realtors, we walk with you through every step of the conveyancing process—making your property purchase smooth, transparent, and hassle-free.

Steps in the Conveyancing Process

Due Diligence

This involves verifying the seller’s ownership, conducting searches to identify any encumbrances on the property (like unpaid debts or restrictions), and ensuring the property is free from legal claims. 

Review of the offer letter

We help the seller or the buyer to review the offer letter before accepting the terms.

After the negotiations we then help prepare the sale agreement.

Sale Agreement

We engage our lawyer to draft the sale agreement outlining the purchase price, payment timelines and the completion conditions.

After review both parties can then sign the agreement.

Advisory on Statutory Taxes

We take the client through the statutory taxes i.e. – Stamp Duty.

The buyer pays the stamp duty to the KRA (Usually 4% of the property value for urban areas or 2% for rural areas).

Preparation of Transfer Documents

  • Transfer documents are prepared and signed.
  • These documents are then lodged at the Ministry of Lands for registration.

Post Registration Due Diligence

We follow-up with the necessary parties to ensure that the transfer has been done and that everything is in order with the title deed and registration.
