Owning a house has moved from a luxury need to a necessity for most Kenyans. This has raised demand for plots in Nairobi and other major towns as more and more people eager to own their own homes jostle or space.
For many, the dream to own a plot often turns into a nightmare as getting affordable but genuine land is about as hard as finding a good real estate company to work with. A good number end losing their money.
A good real estate company offers value for money by balancing pricing, location and amenities. Many investors are looking for plots close enough to Nairobi and affordable.

This company has stood above the rest in offering genuine and affordable land near Nairobi CBD at prices ranging from Ksh300,000 to Ksh1.2 million.
Fanaka Real Estate, established in early 2016, has completed over 22 projects, helped by the fact that the firm has priced its properties in such a way that even low-income earners in Kenya are able to afford a piece of land that comes with a title deed.
Clients buying from this firm have a flexible installment plan of up to 12 months with the initial deposit being only 30% of the plot’s price.

Due to an increase in population and high rent charged on houses within the CBD, the majority of Kenyans have opted to buy land in the outskirts of Nairobi and build their dream homes. Areas east of Nairobi remain major attractions.
Fanaka Real Estate sells land in areas such as Kamulu town (30km from Nairobi CBD) at 799,000 and Malaa town (45 minutes drive from Nairobi CBD) at just Ksh399,000 for a 50×100 plot.
