It should be kama ya gari, there is no value add that lawyers do. Registrars na makarani make the processes so convoluted to ensure lawyers get work and kick backs get paid

It's also useful to find out if there are any disputes regarding the land you are buying. Uliza majirani na local community if possible. Don't become an accidental party in a dispute that isn't yours. Some disputes are simmering but explode into lawsuits once one of the parties starts selling before the dispute is resolved.

What is a double search?

That's very daring. Which registry is that? That implies that all land records in such a registry are compromised. Ama vipi? How do they do it?

Search the land, then after maybe a week after a week send someone else to repeat the search, especially if you are buying from a broker. The registry staff collude with conmen to switch green cards only to replace the genuine one after you've been given a false record.

Damn, these kind of sales huwa hazipendi haraka, na mtu akiharakishwa, then that becomes a red flag...plus if the broker starts connecting you to people he knows that can fast track the process...hio pia ruka futi kumi

True. Those are major red flags. I almost bought a public parking while being hurried along by brokers. The survey map showed the land ni ya uma.
