A recent Nation report carried some numbers that Nairobi's property watchers have been talking about for a while now: apartment prices have fallen for four straight quarters, weighed down by an oversupply of flats in areas like Kilimani, Kileleshwa, and Parklands. Over the same period, the story for standalone homes — maisonettes, bungalows and villas — has gone the other way. Their value rose...

This week, President Ruto commissioned a new flyover at the Ngong Road–Naivasha Road junction, a Ksh 3.8 billion project aimed at clearing one of the most persistent traffic bottlenecks on this route. It is part of a wider push, alongside other major upgrades happening across Nairobi's road network, all pointing in the same direction: getting in and out of the city faster. For Ngong, and by...

But here is something that thousands of buyers — including educated, experienced people — discover too late: a title deed alone...

There is a grief that comes with losing someone you love. And then, often before the mourning is over, there is another kind of weight — the paperwork, the questions, the uncertainty about what happens to the land they left behind. Who owns it now? What steps do you need to take? How long will it take? How much will it cost? And what happens if nobody does anything? These are questions thousands...

A Step-by-Step Guide for Kenyans in the Diaspora If you've ever typed 'buy land in Kenya from abroad' into Google search, you already know the anxiety that comes with it.
