Frequently asked
Questions, answered plainly.
The things people ask before buying, renting or handing over a property in Nairobi. If yours is not here, ask me directly and I will add it.
Living abroad?
Buying from abroad
Can I buy property in Kenya while living abroad?+
Yes. Kenyans abroad and foreign nationals can buy apartments on leasehold title. We handle viewings, paperwork and updates remotely, so you don't need to travel.
How do I view a property if I'm not in Nairobi?+
We arrange live video tours on WhatsApp, share photos and progress updates, and can attend site visits on your behalf or with a trusted relative.
How do I pay safely from abroad?+
Payments go directly to the developer's or lawyer's escrow or project bank account, never to personal accounts. You get a receipt for every instalment.
Do I need a lawyer?+
Yes. An independent advocate reviews the sale agreement, verifies the title and handles transfer. We can recommend lawyers or work with yours.
Can I sign documents without coming to Kenya?+
Usually yes. You can sign through a power of attorney or have documents notarised at a Kenyan embassy or a notary where you live, then courier them back.
Can you manage my property after handover?+
Yes. We find tenants, collect rent, handle maintenance, or run it as an Airbnb short stay, and send you regular owner reports.
Which currency can I pay in?+
Most developers price in KES and some accept USD. Use the payment calculator on any off-plan listing to estimate instalments in your currency.
New here?
Working with CitySpace Luxe
Which parts of Nairobi do you work in?+
Westlands, Kileleshwa, Lavington, Kilimani and Riverside, with new projects added as they come to market. The Properties page lists everything available right now.
Can you find me a rental home?+
Yes. Tell me your budget and the area you want and I will shortlist verified homes. Viewings are usually arranged the same week, and rent, deposit and service charges are spelled out before you commit.
Do you manage Airbnb and short-stay homes?+
Yes. We handle listing setup, guest communication, nightly pricing, cleaning and turnover, and maintenance, and send you owner reports. The Management page sets out what is included.
How do off-plan payments work?+
You pay a deposit to reserve a unit, then the balance in instalments over the build period. The payment calculator on any off-plan listing estimates monthly or quarterly instalments in KES, USD, EUR or GBP. Final terms always come from the developer.
How do I get current prices and availability?+
Listing pages show indicative pricing where it has been published. For an up-to-date price list, a viewing or a payment plan, message me on WhatsApp at 0710 355 857 or email cityspaceh@gmail.com.
