What slows conveyancing down

The bottlenecks your team faces on every matter — Litmus was built to remove them.

Manual registry searches take hours

Querying Ardhisasa, calling county offices, and tracking down gazette references eats paralegal time that should be spent on higher-value work.

Evidence is scattered across systems

Court records, gazette notices, ownership history, and encumbrances all live in different places. Litmus pulls them together in one structured report.

Clients expect faster, more thorough due diligence

A client who has done their own research before instructing you expects the same depth — faster. Litmus lets you deliver it.

What Litmus assembles for your matter

All checks against official Kenyan sources. Reports formatted for legal workflow — ready to inform your title opinion.

ELC case database

Comprehensive cross-reference against Environment and Land Court records — active cases, historical disputes, named parties.

Evidence packaging

Structured findings with source references, ready to support your client presentation or inform your written opinion.

Party research

All parties with any registered interest in the parcel — across ownership history, charges, and court proceedings.

Encumbrance check

Active charges, cautions, restrictions, and inhibitions — documented with source and date.

Case monitoring

Track developments in ongoing matters — new filings, amended orders, or gazette notices affecting your parcel.

Designed for legal workflow

Reports built to complement your due diligence process, not duplicate it. Plain findings, clear source references, named analyst.

What you receive

Every report delivers one of three structured findings — no guesswork, no vague language.

Verified Clear

No adverse records found at the date of assessment. No active court cases, no gazette notices, no registered encumbrances within scope.

Verified with Conditions

Signals found that require attention or resolution before the transaction proceeds. Each condition is documented with the source and the recommended next step.

Not Verifiable

Evidence is insufficient to produce a reliable assessment for this parcel. We tell you why — and we do not issue a finding we cannot support.

Frequently asked questions

Litmus reports provide structured intelligence from public sources. They can support your legal arguments but are not official search certificates. Your formal title opinion remains yours as the enrolled advocate.
Yes. We offer volume pricing and can discuss workflow integration for firms with recurring research needs.
We focus on Environment and Land Court records across Kenya, with broader coverage of gazette notices at the national and county level.
Yes. Litmus is a pre-qualification intelligence report — it tells you what we found in official sources. A formal title search certificate from the Lands Registry is a separate instrument. Litmus is designed to inform your instruction before you commission the formal search, not replace it.

Run your first search — results in 24 hours.

Pre-qualification intelligence — not legal advice. A qualified advocate should be consulted before any transaction.
