Any property valuer in Narok who is working professionally will ensure that report identifies the said property without doubt. This is done with the help of the following;

The pictures must cover all aspects of the property. You should be able to take the front, back and sideway views of the property. This will enable whichever person who approaches the property to identify it. If it’s a building, you must capture the name very well. If possible, you should be able to capture the building along with any adjacent building to it.
- Map from lands office
The map assists in identifying it from the lands registry. It shows the ends of the property. It can help you measure the size of the property. With the map, you can use the roads, rivers, or any water body to locate the property.
If there is a road passing in front or at the back of the property, the map should be able to indicate that. Any alterations to the property like subdivision will also be seen in the map.

Google coordinates are usually captured in Latitudes and Longitudes. But you can also capture them in Universal Transverse Mercator or UTM. It is a geographic coordinate system which is used to identify locations on earth in meters, as measured in the Northern Hemisphere going North and East from the intersection of the equator and a central meridian assigned to each of 60 longitudinal zones around the earth.
- Landmarks
This is also something which assists in identifying a property. The landmarks here include schools, hospitals, rivers, lakes or roads. You can identify the property by measuring the distance from the property to the identified landmark and how you approach it from the landmark.
- Search at the lands office
