hello wazuans,
has anyone of you bought plots along kangundo a place called kantafu? my parents bought plots (through shares)plots (50*82) sometimes back in 1991. the company called kantafu is currently located at marriam arcade near mololine stage (nyamakima). i went there last week and they told my parents should pay the following;
>23,500 for title deed
>7,000 to be shown where plot is
>1,000 for digitizing the process.
these are payment costs per plot.
at how much is the cost per plot nowadays?

You can cut down the 7k per plot by getting yourself a good surveyor and make him your friend to get friendly rates and help you with replacing beacons. I once took a friend to look for some plots his mum bought in the area. The area is really vast and spreads for kilometres through the many phases (up to phase 12 I guess). Another way would be to visit the market and get to know who the old residents are and get some general bearing from them. From what I gathered is that the price per plot depends on the location/distance from the highway with prices ranging from 750k to 350k and plots sizes are between 40x80 and 50x100. There was an acre going for 2.8M touching the tarmac.

thanks @its2013, in fact they told me that my moms plot is the one near the highway (on your right on your way to Tala and my dads on your left but far much interior). if i happen to pay for their title deeds how long should i wait? i have never dealt with land matters before.

Seems your plots will be easy to identify. I can't say how long the title deeds will take.. I haven't dealt with plots from Kantafu. Maybe when I get an update from my friend of his progress I can share it with you here.

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God..

What prices have you encountered? For the prices I have mentioned they were being said to be that price because they have title deeds and are right on Kangundo road or just very close.

For Kantafu area though, those Prices to me still leans on the higher side. You would expect those prices to be for areas much up the road, towards KBC.. Just my thoughts.

Yea KBC is more prime at the moment. I think it's the numerous brokers in the area who are pushing the prices higher than it would be plus the perpetual rumours of another Wilson Airport opening up in the area and rumours of prominent people buying large tracts in the area. Also several developers have sunk boreholes and electricity connections have been increasing. Generally investments in the area have become a bit speculative especially since Estates started being developed (Casa Mia, Mutindwa etc) but, in my opinion, still more reasonable than Nairobi or Mombasa rd/Namanga rd areas.

@its2013, @AM , which companies are currently selling in these areas, that you would recommend?
Life is joy, death is peace, but the transition is very difficult.

@its2013, @AM , which companies are currently selling in these areas, that you would recommend? Guton Kenya Limited. Not sure if they have some remaining though, you can check with them.

There is also Waumini Sacco and further along Kangundo road at The Mitaboni junction there is NPC and ACK/KAMA but I don't know if you strictly have to be a member to buy from those ones. There are also individuals selling.

Thegere,
Am quite familiar with the area having done several valuations within Kantafu. Its quite a good place for speculation as compared to the likes of Isinya and Magadi road.
The place is called Kantafu because a company called Kenya African National Traders and Farmers Union (Kantafu) bought large tracts of land and subdivided then sold to anybody that was willing to buy.
If some time in the future that Kangundo road is expanded to be a dual carriage, then that area will enjoy surging land prices. Quite deep inside i saw several greenhouses and agriculture is quite notable.
Within Kantafu center, most plots are 40X80 and they go for between 250k-300k, with an acre going for between 2.5 million - 3 million. The price falls as you move inwards.
If you can just buy a map from Machakos District Survey Department, i can take you to the exact location of your parents' plots

@Thegere,
It depends with the type of map that you want, we have the normal maps and then there are mutation maps.
If your parents' plots have LR. Numbers, the maps can be bought here at the Survey of Kenya offices along Thika Road
However, if the titles have Title Numbers, the maps must be bought from Machakos Town.
Maps range between Kshs.500 and 1000

Maps range between Kshs.500 and 1000 Please expound on the difference between the two. If have already gathered that L.R are domiciled in Survey of Kenya. Beyond that I am at sea! Just as absolute power corrupts leaders, so does absolute fanaticism blind the people from logic
