C.Registered Land Act (Cap. 300)
D.Physical Planning Act, 2012
Explanation: The Land Registration Act, 2012 (No. 3 of 2012) establishes the land register, registries, and the procedure for registering dispositions of land, leases, and charges. The Land Act governs substantive land rights; registration procedure is under the Land Registration Act.
2Under section 37 of the Land Registration Act, 2012, a transfer is completed by which two steps?
A.Filing the instrument and registering the transferee as proprietor
B.Paying stamp duty and obtaining County Land Management Board consent

A.Overriding interests that bind a registered proprietor despite non-registration
B.The procedure for rectification of the register

Explanation: Section 28 LRA lists overriding interests—such as customary trusts, rights of way at first registration, natural rights of light/air/water/support, compulsory-acquisition rights, unpaid-rates charges, prescription rights, and utility lines—that bind a purchaser even if not on the register. Spousal rights and short leases were removed from this list by the Land Laws (Amendment) Act 2016.

A.Registered encumbrances, cautions, and restrictions affecting the title
B.The seller's academic qualifications
C.Whether the seller has filed annual tax returns
D.The zoning classification under county finance laws only
Explanation: A registry search reveals the registered state of title—proprietor, charges, leases, cautions, restrictions, and endorsements—so the buyer can assess whether the title is marketable and what consents are needed.
5Under section 59 of the Land Registration Act, 2012, when is a lender's written consent required before registration?
A.When the charge prohibits transfer, assignment, or lease without the lender's consent
B.Whenever stamp duty exceeds KES 1 million
C.Only where the land is agricultural and within a settlement scheme

6Before creating a second charge on land already subject to a registered first charge, what does section 57(2) of the Land Registration Act require?
A.Written consent of the first chargee
B.Approval of the National Land Commission only
C.Publication in the Kenya Gazette
D.A court order under the Civil Procedure Act
Explanation: Section 57(2) LRA requires the consent of the first chargee before a second or subsequent charge is created, protecting the first lender's priority.
7Section 54(1) of the Land Registration Act applies when a registered lease contains an agreement that the lessee shall not transfer, sub-let, or charge without lessor consent. What is the effect?
A.No dealing with the lease shall be registered until lessor consent verified under the Act is produced
B.The lease automatically terminates on any attempted sub-letting
C.The lessee may sub-let for periods not exceeding two years without consent
D.Stamp duty on the lease is charged at 4% regardless of location
Explanation: Section 54(1) LRA requires the lessor's consent agreement to be noted on the register, and no dealing shall be registered until verified lessor consent is produced.
8What document does the Land Registration Act, 2012 principally confer on registration of freehold or leasehold title?
A.Certificate of title or certificate of lease
B.Grant of probate
C.Certificate of incorporation
D.Trade licence
Explanation: Upon registration, proprietors receive a certificate of title (land) or certificate of lease (leasehold interest), evidencing ownership or leasehold rights in the register.
9Section 27 of the Land Registration Act provides that a transfer without valuable consideration, once registered, has what effect?
A.The same effect as a transfer for valuable consideration
B.No effect until stamp duty is paid at 4%
C.Effect only if approved by the Cabinet Secretary for Lands
D.Effect limited to a maximum term of 99 years
Explanation: Section 27(2) LRA states that notwithstanding subs.(1) on holding subject to unregistered rights, a transfer without consideration when registered has the same effect as a transfer for valuable consideration.

A.Delete the deceased's name from the register by registering the death certificate
B.Transfer the entire title automatically to the surviving spouse

D.Register a caution in favour of the Public Trustee
Explanation: Section 60 LRA provides that if a joint tenant dies, the Registrar shall, upon proof of death, delete the deceased's name from the register by registering the death certificate—survivorship operates at law.
