Ensure your property is legally registered before making any transactions

I have identified a parcel of land on the outskirts of Nairobi whose current owner is planning to relocate abroad. He has decided to sell it to me at a very affordable price as long as I pay him in cash to enable him process his visa application and make other related travel arrangements. However, the title deed is not in his name but they have lived there as a family for many years. Can I proceed and buy?
