Swipe Recoveries Experts Ltd, based at International Life Hse, 8th Floor, Mama Ngina Street, Nairobi, is a premier firm specialising in the recovery of mortgaged and charged properties across Kenya. Our dedicated team leverages extensive knowledge of Kenyan property law, including the Land Act (No. 18 of 2012) and the Land Registration Act (No. 3 of 2012), to execute repossessions with precision and integrity. We understand the sensitivity and legal complexities involved, ensuring that our clients receive a professional, compliant, and results-driven service.
Navigating the Legal Landscape of Property Repossession in Kenya
The repossession of property in Kenya is a strictly regulated process governed by pivotal legislation such as the Land Act (No. 18 of 2012) and the Land Registration Act (No. 3 of 2012). These acts, along with the Civil Procedure Rules, dictate the procedures lenders must follow, including the issuance of statutory notices (such as default and intention to sell notices) and the mandatory waiting periods before repossession or sale can occur. Swipe Recoveries Experts Ltd is deeply conversant with these legal requirements. Our experts meticulously review loan agreements, charge documents, and title deeds to ensure full compliance. We understand the importance of correct procedure, including service of notices at the last known address of the borrower, as mandated by Kenyan courts and statutory provisions, thereby safeguarding our clients against legal challenges and ensuring the integrity of the repossession process.
The Comprehensive Property Repossession Process
Our approach as property repossess experts is systematic and thorough, designed to maximise success while adhering to all legal mandates. The process typically begins with an in-depth review of the loan documentation and property title, followed by the issuance of formal default notices as prescribed by the Land Act. Our team conducts detailed investigations, which may include site visits to the property to assess its condition and occupancy status. If the borrower remains in default after the statutory notice periods have expired, Swipe Recoveries Experts Ltd initiates the legal proceedings for possession and subsequent sale, working closely with appointed legal counsel and licensed auctioneers. This end-to-end management ensures that every step, from initial default to the final sale of the property, is handled professionally and in strict accordance with Kenyan law, including any requirements from the Registrar of Lands.
Understanding Costs and Fees for Property Repossession
Engaging property repossess experts like Swipe Recoveries Experts Ltd involves a transparent fee structure. Costs can vary depending on the complexity of the case, the property's location, and the duration of legal proceedings. Our fees generally encompass legal consultation, the preparation and service of statutory notices, investigation costs, legal fees for court proceedings (if any), auctioneer fees for the sale of the property, and administrative expenses. For a standard property repossession, clients can anticipate costs that might range from KES 100,000 upwards, excluding the auctioneer's commission which is typically a percentage of the sale price (often around 2.5% to 5% as per industry norms). We provide detailed quotations following an initial assessment, ensuring clarity and predictability for our clients. Our aim is to offer cost-effective solutions that deliver significant value.
