Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about ArdhiScore and verifying land in Kenya.
general
Land verification is the process of confirming the legal status, ownership history, and risk profile of a parcel of land before purchasing it. Litmus automates key parts of this process by searching court records, gazette notices, and other public data sources to identify potential issues with a parcel.
process
A standard Litmus verification report is typically delivered within 24 to 48 hours. Complex parcels with extensive court histories or multiple gazette references may take up to 72 hours. We prioritise accuracy over speed.
legal
No. Litmus provides intelligence and data that supports your decision-making, but it does not provide legal advice. We strongly recommend using a qualified advocate for all land transactions, particularly for the conveyancing process.
pricing
Pricing depends on the type of verification and the depth of analysis required. Contact us for current pricing. We offer individual verification reports as well as bulk pricing for institutions that process multiple parcels.
institutional
Yes. Litmus provides verification services to banks, SACCOs, and other financial institutions that need to assess land-related risk before approving loans. Our institutional API allows automated, high-volume parcel verification.
