Buying Property in Kenya from Abroad

Yes. Kenyan citizens keep the right to own land outright no matter where they live, so holding a foreign residence permit or second passport does not change what you may buy. Non-citizens may hold land on a leasehold of up to 99 years rather than freehold. Confirm your own position with a Kenyan advocate before you commit.

An official search at the lands registry shows the registered owner and anything held against the property, and an advocate or a family member in Kenya can request one on your behalf. Ask us for the title number of any listing here and you can have it searched independently before any money moves.

Houses on our books start at KES 7.3M, and the middle of the range sits around KES 14.5M. 37 of our 70 homes for sale are under KES 15 million, which is the band most first-time diaspora buyers look at.

Yes. Viewings are by appointment and you are welcome to send a relative or your advocate in your place. Tell us which listing you mean on WhatsApp at +254 723 038 130 and we will arrange a time and send photographs of whatever you ask to see.

It is the corridor we know house by house, roughly 25 to 30km from Nairobi along a dual carriageway. 65 of our 73 listings sit in gated courts there, which is what most buyers abroad want when nobody is living in the house yet.

Never send money against photographs alone. Insist on the title number, have an official search done, use an advocate who is yours rather than the seller's, and put every payment through traceable banking channels. Any agent unwilling to give you a title number to check is telling you something.
