Why buy an apartment in Nairobi?
Apartments are Nairobi’s most in-demand and liquid property type: they suit every budget, let easily to professionals, expatriates and short-stay guests, and — in prime areas like Westlands, Kilimani and Kileleshwa — deliver dependable rental yields and long-term capital growth. Off-plan units let you lock in pre-completion prices, while ready apartments offer immediate occupation or rental income. Modern developments come with pools, gyms, backup power and water, secure parking and 24-hour security as standard.
How to Buy Apartments for Sale in Nairobi: A Step-by-Step Guide
Navigating the real estate market in Kenya is straightforward when you work with qualified property experts. Whether you are purchasing an off-plan property or a ready-to-occupy home, follow these essential steps:
- Property Search & Selection: Identify your target neighborhood, budget, and desired apartment type (studio, 1-4 bedroom, or penthouse).
- Letter of Offer & Legal Verification: Secure the unit with an offer letter. Your legal representative will conduct a official search at the Ministry of Lands registry to verify title ownership and check for encumbrances.
- Sale Agreement & Deposit: Sign the legal agreement for sale and pay the required deposit (typically 10% to 20% of the purchase price).
- Financing & Balance Payment: Complete your mortgage application or settle remaining payments according to agreed construction milestones.
- Title Transfer & Handover: Execute the transfer documents, pay stamp duty (typically 4% for urban properties), and take possession of your key.
