Can foreigners buy a house in Kenya? Yes — non-citizens can own property on leasehold tenure (up to 99 years). Freehold and agricultural land are restricted for non-citizens, so always take legal advice before buying.
What is a gated-community service charge? A monthly fee (typically KES 5,000–30,000) that covers security, garbage collection and the upkeep of shared roads, gardens and amenities.
Should I buy off-plan or a completed home? Off-plan is usually cheaper, comes with payment plans and offers capital growth by completion. A completed home lets you move in now and see exactly what you're buying.
