Property is the most significant financial decision most Kenyans will ever make — and also one of the most complex. From the plot in Kitengela to the apartment in Kilimani, from a self-build in Eldoret to a mortgage in Nairobi, every step of the property journey in Kenya comes with paperwork, legal obligations, and risks that catch unprepared buyers, sellers, and tenants off guard.
Whether you’re a first-time buyer trying to understand title deeds, a landlord managing rental income, a tenant asserting your rights, or an investor looking for the next opportunity, being informed is not optional — it’s your protection. This is why Jua Kenya covers real estate and housing the way it deserves — honestly, practically, and with the Kenyan property seeker in mind.
