By Carolyn Hayes


You may have acquired land in Kenya in an underdeveloped or undeveloped area. The area may have grown and other investors are beginning to develop the land near yours. The task of developing real estate is daunting. For this reason, you should hire a consultant. By working with a land development consultant Kenya landowners can learn the best way to develop their properties.

Individuals who are not aware of the process of developing land usually have a lot of questions going in their minds. Such questions involve what to build, whether to opt for a commercial or resident property and if there are restrictions or limits on the property concerning type of development to be undertaken. All these questions and more put an owner at risk when developing the property. Despite this, venturing into highly risky developments may prove to be rewarding. Consultants dealing with the development of property can help landowners reduce risks and increase gains.

When it comes to land utilization and development strategies, a consultant can assist you to deal with issues arising from environmental concerns, regulations, neighbors and other variables which affect profits and expenses. This professional can handle the complicated problems associated with developing a property. Consultants perform absorption and market analysis to guide financial institutions, project owners and landowners towards successful developments.

Consultants collaborate with developers, zoning and planning authorities and other experts to maximize the potential of the project and mitigate the risks. They work with local authorities and engineering, design and construction teams to make sure that plans are designed and processed in an efficient and expeditious manner. The consultants perform due diligence before engaging the local authorities.

The consultants will also explore other factors such as marketing analysis, dealing with storm water, determining if there is adequate clean water, sewerage system and utilities like electricity and telephone. A consultant will also determine the acceptable land usage in accordance to zoning laws. They can also perform subsurface soil study.

It is important to know the best way to utilize land and all the entitlements it has. This allows a project to go from zoning, review of terminal plans, approvals and permits in a successful manner and on time. The laws on zoning differ from town to town. It is therefore essential to know the zoning limitations on real estate properties before investing. Laws on zoning outline the types of businesses or buildings that may be constructed in a certain place. These laws are however subject to change therefore properties that were zoned as residential or commercial can be zoned for a different purpose in the future.

Understanding the obstacles that lie ahead is essential so that you can mitigate them before you start your project. The process of constructing a property is capital intensive. As a developer, you need to meet several costs, such as professional fees, site development fees, planning costs and project funding as well as financing expenses. When you hire a consultant, you will increase your chances of having a profitable outcome.

Consultants are aware of how important creating value is. Therefore, they focus on giving the developer solutions during the property development process. They also offer substantial counsel on site appraisals, acquisitions, valuations, increasing property values, master planning and trends in the markets among others.
