Mortgages

Banks offer home loans typically covering up to 90 percent of the value, repaid over 10 to 25 years. Rates and terms vary, so compare offers and factor in valuation and insurance costs.

SACCOs and instalment plans

Savings and credit cooperatives often provide competitive rates to members, while many developments offer flexible, milestone-based instalment plans. Each route suits a different profile.
