Swipe Recoveries Experts Ltd offers comprehensive and legally compliant solutions for the repossession of both movable and immovable properties.

Legal Framework Governing Property Repossession in Kenya

Undertaking property repossess services Nairobi requires strict adherence to Kenyan statutes and established legal precedents.

For movable assets like vehicles, the Hire Purchase Act and the Chattels Transfer Act are relevant. The process often begins with a demand letter, followed by obtaining necessary court orders, such as a decree for possession or a writ of delivery. Compliance with consumer protection laws and regulations set by bodies like the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) is also essential, especially when dealing with financial institutions. Swipe Recoveries Experts Ltd ensures all actions taken are fully compliant, preventing legal challenges and facilitating a lawful repossession.

Our Process: From Default to Physical Recovery

Our structured approach to property repossess services Nairobi ensures that every step is handled with precision and professionalism. Upon receiving instructions, we initiate a thorough review of all documentation, including loan agreements, lease contracts, and any court orders. The initial phase involves issuing formal notices as required by law, often giving the debtor an opportunity to rectify the default. If the default persists, we proceed with legal filings to obtain the necessary court mandates for repossession. Our experienced field agents then execute the physical recovery, which may involve securing premises, repossessing vehicles from public roads or private property, or taking possession of other movable assets. We coordinate with relevant authorities, such as the Kenya Police Service, when necessary, to ensure safe and lawful execution. Post-repossession, we manage the secure storage and subsequent disposal of the property, whether through auctioning or private sale, in accordance with legal guidelines and your instructions.
