What is the date of title ? my company bought one plot in coast and had the same problem,n we were told by surveyor in olden days when muzungu's were sub dividing the lands they dint have latest equipments so the plots were slightly bigger then shown on the title..... is your neighbour ok ? i mean is he complaining that you have encroched onto his plot ? I want to be a millionaire.

Can it be covered under the word 'thereabouts'? Just out of curiosity; do you know the difference between acres and hectares? One hectare is equivalent to about 2.5 acres. Titles show the size of land in hectares..... Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.

Usually there is an extra document attached to the Title called Deed plan.Take it to the Survey of Kenya just to be sure it corresponds with the original one. Otherwise consider this highly unusual. With land deals,if it reeks a little,be very suspicious. Take care. Patience Pays in Guaranteed Checks Patience Pays In Guaranteed Checks.

The Area Map Mutation from the Surveyors Institute show that the original land was divided into four equal pieces. The demarcations for the four plots are clear . My plot (and the other 3) measure 19mX44.3m on the Map Mutations and 27mX44.3m on the ground. Does this mean the surveyor assumed the size without measuring it physically or what? Why did he get it this wrong? The Margin of error is way too big!
