Legal Foundation for Collateral Repossession in Kenya
The process of Mombasa collateral repossession is firmly rooted in specific Kenyan legal statutes. The most pivotal is the Movable Property Security Rights Act (MPSR Act), 2017, which modernized and streamlined the framework for creating, registering, and enforcing security interests over movable assets. This includes vehicles, industrial equipment, agricultural machinery, and even intellectual property. The MPSR Act prescribes detailed procedures for notification, repossession, and disposal of such collateral. For immovable property used as collateral (e.g., land, buildings), the Land Act, 2012, and the Land Registration Act, 2012, govern the mortgage and charge realization process, requiring strict adherence to statutory notice periods and public auction mandates. Furthermore, the Auctioneers Act (Cap. 526) dictates the conduct of licensed auctioneers who execute the physical repossession and subsequent sale of both movable and immovable assets. Swipe Recoveries Experts Ltd possesses in-depth knowledge of these legislative requirements, ensuring that all collateral repossession activities in Mombasa are conducted lawfully, minimizing legal exposure for our clients and upholding industry best practices.
Systematic Approach to Collateral Recovery and Documentation
Our systematic approach to Mombasa collateral repossession ensures efficiency and legal integrity. Upon default, the first step involves verifying the security interest through a search of the Collateral Registry (established under the MPSR Act) for movable assets, or the relevant land registries for immovable property. This confirms the creditor's priority. Next, statutory default notices are issued to the debtor and other interested parties, allowing them an opportunity to rectify the default within prescribed timelines (e.g., 90-day notice under the Land Act or shorter periods for movable assets as per agreement/MPSR Act). If the default persists, a licensed and reputable auctioneer, acting under the guidance of Swipe Recoveries Experts Ltd, is instructed to proceed with the physical repossession in compliance with the Auctioneers Act (Cap. 526), avoiding any breach of peace or illegal entry. Post-repossession, a detailed inventory is taken, and the asset is secured in a designated storage facility in Mombasa. Meticulous documentation, including repossession certificates, condition reports, and valuation records, is maintained throughout the process. Our expertise guarantees a smooth and fully documented recovery, crucial for any subsequent disposal or legal proceedings.

Understanding Repossession Costs and Valuation in KES
When considering Mombasa collateral repossession, understanding the associated costs is paramount. Costs typically include valuation fees, storage, transport, and auctioneer commissions. Valuation of collateral, performed by a licensed valuer, is often a prerequisite for disposal and can range from KES 15,000 to KES 100,000+ depending on the asset's complexity and location. Auctioneer fees for physical repossession and subsequent sale are regulated by the Auctioneers Act (Cap. 526), usually a percentage of the value or realized price (e.g., 2.5% to 10% for movable goods, with minimums). Storage fees for repossessed assets in Mombasa vary, often charged daily or monthly, and can add up. Legal fees for drafting specific notices or court applications (if disputes arise or special orders are needed) can also be incurred. Swipe Recoveries Experts Ltd provides clear, upfront cost estimations, ensuring transparency. Our goal is to manage these costs effectively, maximizing the net recovery for our clients while maintaining full legal compliance and efficient service delivery in Mombasa.
