Common Questions
from Diaspora Investors

Do I need to travel to Kenya to buy? +
No. The entire purchase can be completed remotely — from virtual tours to digital signing to SWIFT transfer. You only need to travel if you choose to, for a site visit or handover.
How do I get a KRA PIN as a non-resident? +
A KRA PIN (Kenya Revenue Authority number) is required for property purchase. Non-residents can apply online at itax.kra.go.ke using a foreign passport. We assist all our diaspora clients through this process at no extra charge.
Can I get a mortgage as a diaspora buyer? +
Yes — several Kenyan banks offer diaspora mortgages including Kenya Commercial Bank, Equity Bank, and NCBA. You'll typically need 3 months of payslips, a credit report from your country of residence, and a 20–30% deposit.
What rental yields can I expect in Nairobi? +
Prime Nairobi locations like Westlands and Kilimani typically yield 8–12% gross annually for long-term rentals, and up to 15–18% for furnished/serviced units. Airbnb returns vary but can exceed these figures in high-demand areas near hotels and business hubs.
How do I repatriate rental income to my country? +
Rental income can be freely repatriated from Kenya. Your property manager collects rent, deducts withholding tax and fees, then transfers net income to your overseas bank account via SWIFT. This is fully legal and common practice for non-resident landlords.
Is Nairobi real estate a safe investment? +
Nairobi's prime residential market has shown consistent capital appreciation of 10–20% annually in key areas, driven by a growing middle class, urban migration, and strong expatriate demand. Off-plan in Westlands and Kilimani has outperformed most asset classes over 5-year periods.
