Buying Your First Home in Kenya: A Simple Step-by-Step Guide

Equity Premier 20 October 2026 6 min read

From viewing to booking to handover โ€” what to check, what to ask and how flexible financing works when you buy an off-plan or ready home.

Buying your first home is one of the biggest decisions you will make. Here is how to approach it with confidence.

1. Visit the site

Always view the home or show unit in person. Look at the finishes, the neighbourhood, access roads and security.

2. Understand the price and booking

Ask for the full price, the booking amount and the payment schedule in writing. For our Mamburi maisonettes, that is KSh 5.7M with a KSh 2M booking.

3. Review the documents

Check the sale agreement and ownership documents with a lawyer before you commit.

4. Personalise and plan the handover

If interiors are customisable, agree on your choices early so your home is ready the way you want it.
