Can I view the property before buying?

Absolutely! We highly encourage all potential buyers to visit and inspect properties before making a purchase decision. You can book a free site visit through our website or by contacting us directly. Our professional agents will accompany you and answer all your questions during the visit.

How long does the buying process take?

The timeline varies depending on the payment method and documentation process. For cash purchases, the process can be completed in 2-4 weeks. For installment plans, the ownership transfer begins after completing the payment schedule. We work efficiently to ensure smooth and timely transactions while maintaining legal compliance.

Payment & Finance

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept various payment methods for your convenience:

  • Bank transfer (Local and International)
  • Mobile money (M-Pesa, Airtel Money)
  • Cash payments (at our offices)
  • Cheque payments
  • Bank financing through our partner banks

Do you offer installment payment plans?

Yes! We offer flexible installment payment plans ranging from 3 to 24 months, depending on the property. Our payment plans are designed to make property ownership accessible and affordable. Contact us to discuss a payment plan that works for your budget.

What is the reservation fee and is it refundable?

The reservation fee is typically 10-20% of the property value and secures the property for you during the documentation and payment process. This fee is non-refundable once the property is reserved, as it takes the property off the market. However, it is credited towards your total property cost.

Can I get a mortgage to buy your properties?

Yes, we work with several banks and financial institutions that offer mortgage financing for our properties. We can connect you with our partner banks and assist you through the mortgage application process. Most banks require a 10-20% deposit and offer mortgages for up to 25 years.

To purchase property from Qibla Homes, you'll need:

  • National ID or Passport (for foreigners)
  • KRA PIN certificate

  • Passport-size photos

Are all your properties legally verified?

Absolutely! All properties listed on our platform undergo thorough legal verification. We conduct due diligence on all titles, verify ownership, check for encumbrances, and ensure all necessary approvals are in place. Our legal team works to protect your investment and ensure smooth ownership transfer.

How long does it take to get the title deed?

Title deed processing typically takes 3-6 months from the date of full payment, depending on the land registry's workload and the complexity of the transfer. We handle all the paperwork and liaise with the relevant authorities to expedite the process. You'll receive regular updates on the progress of your title deed processing.

Can foreigners buy property in Kenya?

Yes, foreigners can buy property in Kenya, but there are some restrictions. Foreigners can own apartments and buildings but cannot own land in freehold tenure (except through a Kenyan company). However, they can acquire land on a leasehold basis for up to 99 years. We can guide you through the legal requirements and help structure your purchase appropriately.
