How to buy in Syokimau safely

Follow these steps whenever you buy any of the property for sale in Syokimau on this page.

• Search the title: run an official search at the Machakos land registry and confirm the seller is the registered owner.
• Check the boundaries: have a licensed surveyor confirm the beacons and plot size on site.
• Check estate rules: in gated communities ask for the estate rules, management company and service charge.
• Budget for costs on top of the price: stamp duty is 4% within a municipality or 2% outside, plus legal fees, and valuation fees if you use a mortgage.
