Screen the parcel before you commit. Watch it for as long as you hold it.
Before you buy, lend, or advise on Kenyan land, ArdhiScore screens the parcel against the public record and your own documents. Every finding is cited to its source, the gaps that still need official verification are named, and the parcel stays on a watch schedule so a slow problem does not become an irreversible loss.
It supplements the official record and complements your lawyer's work. It never replaces the registrar.

Risk profile with sources, gaps, and reasons
The blind spot
A title deed is essential. It is not the whole story.
Court disputes, Gazette notices, identifier conflicts, and other risk signals can sit outside a standard title review. ArdhiScore brings covered signals together so you can see what was found, what remains unresolved, and what needs official or professional follow-up.
Score inputs
One parcel. One evolving evidence record.
ArdhiScore creates a golden record for the parcel: a dated view of identifiers, claims, evidence, source references, confidence, and change over time. New findings update the record instead of disappearing inside another one-time report.
Litigation & court records
Active suits, injunctions and historical disputes tied to the parcel, including ELC filings a registry search never surfaces.
Learn moreGazette & public notices
Compulsory-acquisition orders, revocation notices and government publications that quietly change what a parcel is worth.
Learn moreTitle identity & integrity
LR, IR, deed and block/plot identifiers cross-checked across independent sources, so the title you see is the title that exists.
Learn moreOwnership chain & party risk
Every party in the ownership chain, historical transfers, and directorship patterns that signal fraud risk.
Learn moreEncumbrances
Charges, cautions, caveats and arrears, including ones recorded outside the registry and easy to miss.
Learn moreAI legal intelligence
AI reads, matches, and cites.
ArdhiScore uses AI-assisted matching to connect parcel identifiers with the court, Gazette, and public-record sources it covers. Reported matches carry source references so the evidence can be reviewed before anyone acts.
Legal intelligence that can show its work
Identifier matching, document extraction, and cross-source analysis help surface relevant signals. The report preserves the source, confidence, and unresolved questions instead of hiding them behind an AI answer.
The score is the summary. The evidence is the product.
The 0 to 1000 screening index comes with reason codes, source references, evidence gaps, and unresolved conditions. It supports a decision; it does not certify title or direct someone to buy, lend, or approve.

Put a parcel on watch. ArdhiScore runs scheduled checks across covered sources and updates the parcel record when it detects a relevant change. Alert timing depends on source availability and service conditions.
Watch what changes
Scheduled checks look for relevant new court, Gazette, registry, and parcel-identity signals.

AI-assisted matching
Parcel identifiers are checked against the covered court, Gazette, and other public-record sources listed in the methodology.
Evidence beyond one search

Reported findings include the available source reference so a person can review the evidence before acting.
Purpose-built for Kenyan land
ArdhiScore runs on collateral-intelligence infrastructure designed from the ground up for Kenyan land records and workflows.
The intelligence layer for land, without pretending to be the registry, your advocate, or your valuer.
ArdhiScore does not issue legal opinions, value property, approve credit, certify title, or guarantee that hidden risk does not exist.
See what we do and refuse to doDecision moments
Three parcels. One number that changed the decision.
Illustrative scenarios, not customer case studies.
The parcel had already been sold
A Kenyan in the UK was ready to wire payment for a plot in Kajiado. The title looked clean. ArdhiScore surfaced an active court case and a second transfer registered three months earlier: the same parcel, sold to someone else.
A gazette order made the collateral worthless
A SACCO ran a standard search before approving a land-secured loan. The title was clean. ArdhiScore found a compulsory-acquisition notice gazetted six months earlier, a government order that hard-capped the score.
Documented for the file
After the 2025 Supreme Court ruling, a Nairobi conveyancing firm made ArdhiScore standard. Each report is a signed, source-cited audit trail their partners use to satisfy their professional obligation.

Voices from the ground
Illustrative voices, not verified customer statements.
I was a day away from paying the deposit. The report showed a caveat nobody had mentioned to me. That one page saved me 1.2 million.
Wanjiru KamauVerification in Ruiru, Kiambu My brother and I had been arguing about the boundary for two years. We both read the same report and the argument just ended.
Otieno OchiengVerification in Kisumu I live in Doha. My cousin used to send me photos of the plot, but photos do not show court cases. Now it is checked every month and I actually sleep.
Fatuma AbdallaMonitoring in Malindi, Kilifi The bank asked me to prove the title was clean. I forwarded the report and that was the end of it. No back and forth.
Kipchoge KiruiVerification in Eldoret, Uasin Gishu Everything looked fine until the gazette check. There was a pending acquisition notice on it. I walked away glad that I knew.
Njeri MwangiVerification in Kitengela, Kajiado I bought the land then left it sitting there for years, just praying. Now something watches it every month and tells me. Mko poa sana.
Mutiso MusyokaMonitoring in Matuu, Machakos What sold me is that every claim had its source sitting right next to it. I could open it and see exactly where it came from.
Achieng OdhiamboVerification in Ngong, Kajiado Plain English, no lawyer talk. My mother read it herself and she is the one who actually owns the land.
Hassan NoorVerification in Garissa The alert reached me on a Sunday afternoon. Someone had lodged a caution on my plot. Hii kitu ni noma, it saw it before I did.
Wafula BarasaMonitoring in Kakamega I paid for one report assuming I would still need an advocate. He said it had already answered half of his questions.
Chebet RotichVerification in Nakuru The score came back 612. Not perfect, but it told me which part was weak and what to go and fix first.
Kilonzo MwendwaVerification in Syokimau, Machakos Coast land makes people nervous for good reason. Having mine re-checked every month is the only thing that stopped me worrying.
Amina SaidMonitoring in Diani, Kwale I checked a plot my in-laws wanted to sell me. Slightly awkward conversation, far better than an awkward court case.
Githinji MainaVerification in Juja, Kiambu Monthly checks felt like too much for one plot. Then month four flagged a change. I now have three parcels on monitoring.
Nyambura GathoniMonitoring in Thika, Kiambu They went through the file properly and then walked the ground. The map showed me exactly where my parcel sits and who borders it.
Saitoti Ole SankaleArdhi Intel in Ongata Rongai, Kajiado Family land, three claimants and forty years of stories. The record does not get emotional, and that is what we needed.
Moraa NyabokeVerification in Kisii I added monitoring after the first report. Months later it flagged a boundary change I would never have spotted myself.
Kimathi MuriukiMonitoring in Meru Nine years in the diaspora and the monthly check is the first thing that has ever made me feel in control of my own land.
Waweru NdunguMonitoring in Nanyuki, Laikipia Our sacco keeps every title we lend against under monitoring now. It caught one bad one inside the first month.
Mercy WanjalaMonitoring in Naivasha, Nakuru I asked three awkward questions and got real answers instead of a script. Mlinisort bila stress.
