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.

A number of things analyzed by the consultants are water or sewer adequacy, marketing analysis, storm water handling and dry utilities like electricity or telephone. They also analyze how the land can be utilized based on the zoning regulations. Additionally, they investigate the soil beneath the surface.

You can benefit a lot when you understand what your land is entitled to and how it can be used. This will allow your project to run smoothly from zoning to the last stages of plan approvals and permitting. Zoning regulations differ from one area to another. It is therefore vital to understand the zoning laws before embarking on any project. The zoning regulations explain the type of structures or businesses to be carried out in certain area. Zoning regulations are usually updated with time and this can affect or change the future use of land in a given area.

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.
