SECTIONAL PROPERTIES ACT, 2020 - Everything You Wanted to Know

In this episode, Monica Mwangi, an advocate of the High Court of Kenya, and I begin by discussing what sectional properties are, and thereafter understanding the fundamental differences between the two laws (Sectional Properties Act (No. 21 of 2020) and Sectional Properties Act 1987).

We also discuss the changes that the new regime of law makes to the administration of sectional properties and how that affects property investors. One of those changes is that unlike in the past when long-term leases were issued, now, a certificate of title (if the property is freehold) or a certificate of lease (if the property is leasehold) is issued.
