When buying land in Kenya, one of the most important documents you will encounter is the
sales agreement. For many first-time buyers, understanding what this document entails is
crucial to ensuring a safe and transparent transaction.
At Fairgreens Properties Limited, widely regarded as the best land selling company in
Kenya, we ensure that all our clients fully understand every step of the buying process—
including the sales agreement.
What is a Sales Agreement?
A sales agreement is a legally binding document between the buyer and the seller that
outlines the terms and conditions of a land transaction.
It protects both parties by clearly stating:
• What is being sold
• The agreed price
• Payment terms
• Responsibilities of each party
Key Elements of a Sales Agreement
Understanding the components of a sales agreement helps you avoid misunderstandings and
legal issues.
1. Details of the Parties Involved
The agreement must clearly state:
• Full names of the buyer and seller
• Identification details (ID numbers, KRA PIN)
This ensures that all parties are legally recognized.
2. Description of the Property
The document should include:
• Exact location of the land
• Plot number
• Size (e.g., 50×100)
This ensures there is no confusion about what is being purchased.
3. Purchase Price
The agreement must clearly indicate:
• Total cost of the land
• Payment structure (deposit + balance)
Transparency in pricing is key to a smooth transaction.
4. Payment Terms
This section outlines:
• Deposit amount
• Payment deadlines
• Instalments plans (if applicable)
At Fairgreens Properties Limited, we offer flexible payment plans to make land ownership
easier.
5. Title Deed Details
A proper sales agreement should confirm:
• The availability of a valid title deed
• The process of transferring ownership
We prioritize ready title deeds to guarantee security for our clients.
6. Obligations of Each Party
The agreement should specify:
• Seller’s responsibility (transfer ownership)
• Buyer’s responsibility (complete payment on time)
This ensures accountability on both sides.
7. Default and Penalties
In case either party fails to meet their obligations, the agreement should outline:
• Penalties
• Refund terms
• Legal actions if necessary
8. Signatures and Witnesses
For the agreement to be valid:
• Both parties must sign
• Witnesses (or legal representatives) must be present
