What do I need to know when buying property in Nairobi?

Answer this Question

When we asked expats what advice they would give a foreigner before buying a property in Nairobi, they said...

"1. It is important to research the area you are looking to buy in, as some areas may be more desirable than others. 2. Make sure to get a lawyer to help you with the legal aspects of the purchase, as they will be able to advise you on the best way to proceed. 3. Be aware of the taxes and fees associated with buying property in Nairobi, as these can add up quickly. 4. Consider the cost of living in the area you are looking to buy in, as this can have a big impact on your budget. 5. Make sure to inspect the property thoroughly before making a purchase, as this will help you to identify any potential problems. 6. Be aware of the local laws and regulations regarding property ownership, as these can vary from area to area. 7. Consider the security of the area you are looking to buy in, as this can be a major factor in your decision. 8. Make sure to get a surveyor to inspect the property before you buy, as this will help to ensure that the property is in good condition," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Nairobi, Kenya.
