Frequently Asked Questions
Your property questions,
answered honestly
Everything you need to know about buying, selling, renting, and investing in Kenyan real estate through Urban Nexus Realty.
Getting started is simple. Contact us via WhatsApp on +254 714 945 977 or fill in our online enquiry form at urbannexusrealty.ke/contact. Our team will schedule a free consultation to understand your budget, preferred location, and property goals. We then curate a personalised list of verified properties for your review — no obligation, no upfront fees. Once you identify a property you like, we guide you through every step: offer letter, due diligence, legal transfer, and key handover.
Every property listed by Urban Nexus Realty undergoes mandatory title due diligence via the Kenya National Land Information Management System (NLIMS) and Ardhisasa — Kenya's official digital land registry. We verify the title is clean (free of cautions, encumbrances, or court orders), confirm the registered owner matches the seller, and check that county land rates are current. For sectional properties (apartments), we also verify compliance with the Sectional Properties Act 2020. You receive a full due diligence report before any deposit is paid.
Beyond the purchase price, expect these additional costs:
- Stamp Duty — 4% of property value (urban) or 2% (rural), payable to KRA
- Legal / Conveyancing Fees — approx. 1%–1.5% for your advocate handling transfer
- Land Rates & Rent Clearance — any arrears settled at closing
- Bank Valuation Fee — KES 10,000–30,000 if you are financing via mortgage
We use a multi-channel digital-first strategy: professional photography and listing on our website, targeted promotion via Meta and Google Ads, WhatsApp and email campaigns to our verified buyer database, and active placement across our social media channels. We also tap our diaspora investor network — a critical buyer pool for premium Nairobi properties. You receive weekly performance reports on views, enquiries, and viewing feedback. Our average time-to-offer for correctly priced properties is under 30 days.
Our standard agency commission is 3% of the final sale price, consistent with Kenya's Estate Agents Act. This is entirely success-based — you pay nothing until your property sells. The fee covers full marketing, buyer vetting, negotiation support, and coordination with advocates through to completion. There are no upfront listing fees and no marketing costs. For commercial, distressed, or bulk transactions, custom terms are available on request.
Absolutely. Urban Nexus Realty specialises in 100% remote property transactions for Kenyan diaspora and foreign investors. Property viewings are conducted via recorded video tours, due diligence reports are shared digitally, and legal documents are executed through a Power of Attorney (POA) — a trusted Kenyan representative signs on your behalf. Funds transfer directly from your foreign bank to the seller's advocate trust account. We have completed hundreds of diaspora transactions for clients in the UK, USA, Canada, UAE, and Australia. Contact us for a free diaspora buying guide.
Based on our current market data:
- Short-let furnished apartments (Kilimani / Westlands) — 10–14% gross yield
- Long-let residential apartments (Lavington, Parklands, Kileleshwa) — 6–9% gross
- Commercial office space (Upperhill, Westlands) — 7–10% gross
- Serviced apartments near embassies and hospitals — 12–16% gross
Off-plan properties are units purchased before or during construction directly from a developer. Benefits include: locking in today's price (typically 15–25% below completed value), flexible payment plans spread over the build period, and first choice of the best units. The risks are developer delays, quality variations, and — in worst cases — developer insolvency. Urban Nexus Realty only lists off-plan projects from vetted developers with clean permits, proven delivery track records, and funds held in escrow. We conduct independent checks on all NEMA approvals and Nairobi City County building permits before recommending any project.
A standard cash transaction typically completes in 45–75 days: 7 days for offer and agreement signing; 14–21 days for title search and due diligence; 7 days for stamp duty assessment and payment at KRA; and 14–30 days for the Lands Registry to process transfer and issue the new title. Mortgage-financed transactions take 90–120 days due to bank valuation, credit approval, and registration of the charge. Our team actively follows up at every stage and keeps you updated at each milestone throughout the transaction.
Under the Kenya Constitution 2010, non-citizens can hold property on a leasehold basis only — typically 99-year leases, which are functionally equivalent to freehold for investment purposes. Freehold (absolute title) is reserved for Kenyan citizens. For apartment buyers, the Sectional Properties Act 2020 provides a clear ownership framework for each unit under its own sectional title. Foreign-owned companies and trusts can also hold property in Kenya. We work with specialist property advocates who handle foreign buyer transactions regularly, ensuring full legal compliance throughout.
Yes — our full property management service handles everything: tenant sourcing and vetting, lease agreements, rent collection, maintenance coordination, and monthly financial reporting. This is especially valuable for diaspora and overseas investors who need a completely hands-off ownership experience. Our management fee is 10% of monthly rental income for all routine coordination. Major repairs are handled separately with your prior approval. We target a maximum 2-week void period between tenancies and deliver monthly statements by the 5th of every month. Details at urbannexusrealty.ke/property-management.
We offer a free Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) for every property we list. Our analysts review recent comparable sales in your exact micro-location over the past 6–12 months, current competing listings, market conditions, and your property's specific features (floor level, views, finishes, parking bays). We provide a recommended listing price range — not inflated to win your listing, but calibrated to attract serious buyers and achieve a sale within our 30-day target window. Overpricing delays sales and damages credibility; our data-led approach protects your time and outcome. Book your free valuation at urbannexusrealty.ke/value-property.
