Kenyans abroad can buy land and homes in Kenya without flying home: shortlist with video tours and verified badges, view remotely or send someone you trust, have your own advocate run an official title search, and pay only through your advocate or a bank. Kenyan citizens, including dual citizens, can own freehold land; non-citizens can hold leasehold of up to 99 years.

Four steps
Use video tours and verified owner badges to shortlist homes and plots.
Ask the lister for a live video viewing, or send someone you trust.
Do an official land search and confirm the seller is the registered owner.
Pay through your advocate or a bank, never cash or a personal M-Pesa number before the transfer.

The badge marks listings you can shortlist from abroad. A listing gets it only when all of these are true:
It is a starting point, not a guarantee of title. Your advocate still runs the official search, and you never pay before a verified viewing.
A Verified owner badge means we checked the lister's identity documents. It does not prove ownership of a specific plot. Always do an official search and use an advocate before paying.
