Uncovering Hidden Assets in Nairobi

Whether you are entering a new business partnership, involved in divorce proceedings, or a creditor looking to enforce a court judgment, knowing the true financial standing of an individual or company is paramount.

Swipe Recoveries Experts Ltd provides a discreet, thorough, and legally compliant asset searching service designed to uncover tangible assets such as real estate, vehicles, and business ownership, giving you the clarity and leverage you need.
Legal Basis & Scope of Asset Searches in Kenya
An asset search is not an invasion of privacy; it is a legitimate investigative process grounded in Kenyan law, primarily for due diligence and the enforcement of legal rights. When a court, such as the Milimani Commercial Courts, issues a monetary judgment, the winning party (decree-holder) has the right to identify the debtor's (judgment-debtor's) assets for attachment and sale to satisfy the debt. This process is governed by The Civil Procedure Act.
Our asset searches are meticulously designed to identify key assets. The scope can include: Real Property Searches: We conduct official searches at the Ministry of Lands and Physical Planning (Ardhi House) to identify properties owned by the subject in Nairobi and other counties. Vehicle Ownership: We can legally query the NTSA database to identify any motor vehicles registered to the individual or company. Business & Shareholding: We investigate the Business Registration Service (BRS) registry to uncover directorships, shareholdings in private and public companies, and business names linked to the subject. It is important to note that searching for bank account details requires a specific court order (Garnishee Order), which can be pursued once a judgment is in hand.
Our Asset Search Methodology & Process
Our methodology for an asset search in Kilimani and greater Nairobi is systematic and thorough, ensuring no stone is left unturned.
1. Initial Consultation & Scoping: We begin by understanding your specific needs. The reason for the search (e.g., pre-litigation, post-judgment, divorce settlement) dictates the scope and depth of our investigation. We require the subject's full name, ID number, and any other known identifiers.
2. Public Records Investigation: This is the core of the search. Our team dispatches researchers to the relevant government registries. This includes manual and online searches at the Land Registry, Companies Registry, and other relevant public sector databases to build a portfolio of the subject's known assets.
3. Field Verification: Data is one thing; physical confirmation is another. For assets identified in areas like Kilimani, Lavington, or Kileleshwa, our field agents may be discreetly deployed to verify the existence and current status of a property, or to gather local intelligence about the subject's lifestyle and visible assets in a non-intrusive and ethical manner.
4. Comprehensive Reporting: At the conclusion of the search, we provide you with a detailed, confidential report. This report outlines all assets discovered, complete with supporting documentation like official search certificates, and provides a clear financial picture to guide your next steps.

Understanding the Costs of an Asset Search

A basic, single-focus search, such as verifying the ownership of one specific property or a directorship search, is the most affordable. For instance, a standard land search at the Nairobi registry may have professional fees starting from KES 10,000 to KES 25,000, inclusive of the statutory search fees. A more comprehensive search that includes property, vehicles, and multiple business interests across Kenya will naturally be more involved. A comprehensive individual or corporate asset search can range from KES 70,000 upwards, depending on the complexity and number of jurisdictions (counties) to be searched.
