Paperwork Done Properly
Working the coast since 2011 — and checking title, beacons and setbacks before any listing reaches the site.
Property on the Kenyan Coast
Pwani Estates has worked the Kenyan coast since 2011, from Watamu and Malindi down through Kilifi to Diani. We act for resident buyers, diaspora investors and developers, and we are as comfortable with a two-acre beach plot and its beacons as with a completed villa.
Coastal property lives or dies on its paperwork. Every listing we take on is checked for title status, tenure, survey and beacons before it reaches the site, and we say plainly when something is unresolved rather than leaving it for the buyer to discover.
Our Mission
To represent coastal property honestly: verified title, accurate boundaries, and a clear account of what a buyer is actually acquiring.
Our Vision
To be the coast’s most trusted name in land and beachfront property, for residents and diaspora buyers alike.
Four Things We Check First
Coastal property lives or dies on its paperwork. These happen before a listing is published — and where something is unresolved, we say so on the listing rather than leaving a buyer to find it.
Title search
An official search at the land registry, so the seller on the agreement is the owner on the record — and anything registered against the title shows up before money moves.
Beacon verification
We walk the plot and find the beacons. A deed plan is a drawing; beacons are where the parcel actually is. On the coast the two do not always agree.
Setback measurement
How close to the high-water mark you may build is not a matter of opinion. We measure it before the listing goes up, so beachfront is described by what is buildable.
Tenure check
Freehold or leasehold, and if leasehold, how many years remain and on what terms. It changes what the land is worth and what a bank will lend against it.

Success Stories
“Amina walked us through the title search before we had even seen the house, and flagged that one beacon needed re-fixing. That saved us a dispute later. The whole purchase took eleven weeks and nothing surprised us.”
