Investing and renting in Westlands
Westlands has one of the deepest rental markets in Nairobi.

Worked example: the full cost of buying in Westlands
Here is a simple example for a 1 bedroom apartment priced at KSh 7,000,000. Use it as a rough guide; your advocate and lender will give you exact figures.
| Cost item | Estimate |
|---|---|
| Purchase price | KSh 7,000,000 |
| Stamp duty (4%) | KSh 280,000 |
| Legal fees (often about 1–2% plus VAT) | KSh 70,000 – KSh 140,000 |
| Valuation fee (only with a mortgage) | Ask your lender for a quote |
| Service charge deposit or connections | Varies by building |
On a KSh 7,000,000 purchase, plan for roughly KSh 7,350,000 to KSh 7,420,000 in total before any mortgage costs. For dollar-priced units, agree the exchange rate used for stamp duty with your advocate.
How to buy an apartment in Westlands safely
Follow these steps whenever you buy any of the apartments for sale in Westlands on this page.
- Confirm the title: many new buildings issue sectional titles under the Sectional Properties Act 2020. Ask which title the unit comes with and run an official search on Ardhisasa.
- Check approvals for off-plan projects: ask for the Nairobi City County building approval, the NEMA licence and the contractor’s NCA registration.
- Budget for costs on top of the price: stamp duty is 4% of the value for property in Nairobi, plus legal fees, valuation fees if you use a mortgage, and the service charge deposit.
- For dollar-priced units: agree the exchange rate and payment currency in the sale agreement.
- Use your own advocate: have an independent advocate review the sale agreement before you pay any deposit.
Run official land searches through the government’s Ardhisasa portal where the registry is online, and check current stamp duty rules and payment on the Kenya Revenue Authority website.
