Worked example: the full cost of buying in Kilimani
Here is a simple example for a 2 bedroom apartment priced at KSh 9,000,000. Use it as a rough guide; your advocate and lender will give you exact figures.
| Cost item | Estimate |
|---|---|
| Purchase price | KSh 9,000,000 |
| Stamp duty (4%) | KSh 360,000 |
| Legal fees (often about 1–2% plus VAT) | KSh 90,000 – KSh 180,000 |
| Valuation fee (only with a mortgage) | Ask your lender for a quote |
| Service charge deposit or connections | Varies by building |
On a KSh 9,000,000 purchase, plan for roughly KSh 9,450,000 to KSh 9,540,000 in total before any mortgage costs. Most Kilimani buildings charge a monthly service charge once you move in.
How to buy in Kilimani safely
Follow these steps whenever you buy any of the apartments for sale in Kilimani on this page.
- Search the title: run an official search on Ardhisasa and confirm the seller is the registered owner.
- Confirm the title type: many new buildings issue sectional titles under the Sectional Properties Act 2020. Ask which title the unit comes with.
- Check approvals for off-plan projects: ask for the 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, and valuation fees if you use a mortgage.
- 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.
