Buying property in Mombasa can be an attractive investment for Kenyans living abroad, whether the property is intended as a future home, holiday property, or rental investment. But buying from abroad creates additional legal and practical considerations. The buyer must be able to verify the property, seller, and transaction even when they are not physically […]

Property investment in Mombasa can be rewarding. It can also create legal and financial problems that only become apparent after the purchase is complete. Investors often focus on location, purchase price, and expected returns.
