Having land without beacons (boundary markers) poses several serious legal, physical, and financial risks. Here’s why it’s dangerous:

🚨 Risks of Having Land Without Beacons

1. Boundary Disputes
   Risk: Without beacons, it’s unclear where your land starts and ends.

Consequence: Neighbors may encroach on your land, or you may unknowingly encroach on theirs — leading to conflicts or court cases.

2. Difficult to Sell or Transfer
   Risk: Buyers, surveyors, or land officers will ask for a clear boundary.

Consequence: You may lose potential buyers or be unable to legally transfer the land without beacons.

3. Land Grabbing
   Risk: People may illegally occupy or allocate your land to others.

Consequence: Proving ownership becomes harder without marked boundaries, especially in areas with weak enforcement.

4. No Accurate Survey
   Risk: Lack of beacons makes it hard to conduct a precise survey or subdivision.

Consequence: Future development, fencing, or titling processes can be delayed or rejected.

5. Illegal Construction
   Risk: You or a neighbor might build across an unclear boundary.

Consequence: This may lead to costly demolitions, lawsuits, or government action.

6. Ineligible for Loans or Financing
   Risk: Banks require well-marked and surveyed land for collateral.

Consequence: Your land may not qualify for mortgage, SACCO, or bank loans.
