Kenya’s urban boom drives surge in sectional property ownership

Sectional properties in Kenya are becoming increasingly popular, especially in urban areas where land is limited and the demand for housing is high. Governed by the Sectional Properties Act, 2020, these properties allow individual ownership of units within a multi-unit building while sharing common areas like corridors, staircases, and parking spaces. This legal framework provides for the subdivision of buildings into units, each with its own title deed, offering a secure and structured form of ownership.

The process begins with the property owner hiring a licensed surveyor to create a sectional plan that defines individual units and common areas. After the plan is approved by the authorities, it is registered, and separate title deeds are issued for each unit. This allows unit owners the freedom to sell, lease, or transfer their property independently, while still being part of a larger community.

One of the main advantages of sectional properties is the shared responsibility for maintaining common areas, which reduces costs for individual owners. The establishment of a management company or owners’ association ensures that these common spaces are well-maintained and that rules and regulations are enforced fairly. This collective approach not only maintains the property’s value but also fosters a sense of community among unit owners.

However, challenges do exist. Effective management is crucial, as disputes over maintenance costs and the use of common areas can arise. Additionally, navigating the legal requirements of the Sectional Properties Act requires careful attention to detail. Despite these challenges, sectional properties offer a practical solution for maximizing land use in Kenya’s growing urban centers, providing affordable and secure homeownership options for many Kenyans. As cities expand, sectional properties are likely to play a crucial role in meeting the housing needs of the population.
