Factors Influencing Repossession Expenses

The overall repossession costs estimate in Kenya is influenced by several key factors. These include the type and value of the asset being repossessed, the complexity of the recovery process, and the location of the asset. For instance, repossessing a vehicle from a remote rural area may incur higher logistical costs than a standard urban recovery. Legal fees, as stipulated by the Advocates Act (Cap 16) and relevant court tariffs, are a significant component. These cover drafting demand letters, filing necessary court applications under the Civil Procedure Act (Cap 21), and representation. Our estimates also account for expenses related to skip tracing if the debtor's location is unknown, and for securing the asset post-recovery. Compliance with regulations from bodies like the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) for financial institutions is also factored in.
