Most landlords and property owners I have spoken to always seem to have some tenants who are causing them sleepless nights. Whether this is due to difficulties in paying rent or engaging in activities that cause disturbance. The truth is that all this could have been prevented if proper screening had been done. Tenant screening refers to the process used by landlords and property managers to evaluate...
I have spoken to many landlords in Nairobi who keep on reiterating one common problem when we meet. The issue normally goes to the tune of, “the rental business isn’t profitable” or “my tenants are always moving out.” Most of these issues and complaints are symptoms of a larger problem called high tenant turnover. In simple words, this is when many tenants move in and out of your property in...
Tatu City has rapidly transformed into one of Kenya’s most important mixed-use developments and economic hubs. Located along the Northern Bypass and close to the Eastern Bypass and Thika Superhighway, the city combines residential, commercial, industrial, educational, and recreational spaces within a master-planned environment. When the project first launched, many Kenyans were skeptical about whether...
Nairobi is the center of business activities in the country, more so, its town center which is named as the Central Business District (CBD). Research states that Nairobi CBD is home to over 21,000 small and medium enterprises (SMEs).

In fact, most of the house-hunts we do for our clients, one of the most asked question is always, “is the area safe?” And I get it, security affects a lot of things in a person’s life. It will affect the time you can comfortably leave or arrive home. It affects your peace of mind and if you have children...

A major determinant of where people choose to live is their income. And this makes a lot of sense, the more money you make, the more you have to spend on expenses such as housing. This explains why most areas always have economic similarities among their residents. Rents act like a filter of sorts, allowing some people in, while keeping others out of different areas. That being said, I think the best...
The real estate and construction industry contributes around 15% to the Kenyan GDP. The split is often 10% real estate and 5% construction. However, these two industries are symbiotic and hence why they are grouped together. In recent years, the sector has been on a decline following a culmination of factors such as high interest rates, a sluggish economy and politically associated set-backs. The results...
Langata is a suburb located 18km from Nairobi CBD along the Langata road. It is predominantly a middle-class area with a mix of lower and upper middle class residents calling the place home. The area has been made famous mostly due to its association with the Langata cemetery and many people rarely talk about the place. For this reason, Langata has gone unnoticed, but underneath the stereotype lies a...
