The government has issued a warning to all estate agents operating against the law, threatening to take legal action.

The warning is to all persons who, by way of business, negotiate for or otherwise act with the selling, purchasing, or letting of land and buildings.

Through the Estate Agents Registration Board (EARB), the regulatory body for estate agencies asked Kenyans not to use any unregistered real estate agents. "Persons practicing estate agency without registration are doing so illegally and risk prosecution," EARB warned.
