Buying your first home in Kenya is a milestone – and a process that rewards preparation. Here is a clear, step-by-step view of what to expect so you can move with confidence.
1. Know your budget
Beyond the asking price, plan for legal fees, stamp duty, valuation and any service charges. A pre-approval from your bank or SACCO tells you exactly what you can spend.
2. Verify the property
Conduct an official search at the lands registry to confirm ownership and that the title is free of encumbrances. For apartments, review the management arrangements and reserve fund.
3. Use professionals
A licensed agent, an advocate and a valuer protect your interests. They catch issues early and keep the transaction moving smoothly to completion.
