Frequently asked questions

Here are some common questions about our company.

Maya Estate's flagship project is Golfscape Residences, a boutique development of 1, 2 & 3-bedroom apartments and penthouses on Muchai Drive, Kilimani, directly adjacent to the Royal Nairobi Golf Club. Units start from Ksh 4,460,000, with completion scheduled for December 2026. We also have Berkeley Homes, a 19-floor, 360-unit development in Kileleshwa, completing April 2028.

Golfscape Residences is located on Muchai Drive in Kilimani, one of Nairobi's most established and sought-after residential neighbourhoods. The development sits directly next to the Royal Nairobi Golf Club, with easy access to Ngong Road, Yaya Centre, top international schools, and Nairobi's main business corridors.

Golfscape Residences is available on a flexible 20/60/20 payment plan — 20% deposit, 60% during construction, and the final 20% on completion. This structure makes off-plan ownership accessible without requiring full upfront capital. Contact us to discuss a payment schedule tailored to your timeline.

Buying off-plan can be a smart way to secure better pricing and flexible payment terms provided you work with a credible agent and developer. At Maya Estate, we verify title deed status, developer track record, and construction progress before listing any project. We encourage every buyer to visit the site, review documentation, and ask questions before committing which is exactly why we offer free, no-pressure site visits.

While our current flagship projects, Golfscape Residences and Berkeley Homes, are off-plan developments, Maya Estate works with buyers across Nairobi's luxury residential market more broadly. Contact us directly to discuss your specific requirements.

This is one of the most frequently asked questions by non-citizens. The short answer is yes , foreigners can acquire leasehold interests in land and fully own sectional properties in urban developments, though the Constitution of Kenya and the Land Control Act prohibit foreigners from owning freehold land.

Under Article 65 of the Kenyan Constitution, non-citizens are limited to leasehold tenure for up to 99 years, which is renewable, We guide non-resident Kenyans and foreign buyers through the legal process from start to finish..... see more

Four things that buyers consistently underestimate on paper. First, ceiling height, a unit with 2.4 metre ceilings feels noticeably more cramped than one with 2.7 metres, and this is rarely volunteered unless you ask. Second, the position of windows relative to the bedroom, a bedroom window that faces directly into a neighbouring building or a service shaft kills the lifestyle regardless of how good the plan looks on paper. Third, the distance between the kitchen and the main living area, open-plan looks appealing in a render but a poorly proportioned open kitchen dominates a small living room with smells and noise. Fourth, storage: count the square metres dedicated to built-in storage. Nairobi apartments frequently look spacious in renders and feel cramped in real life because storage was sacrificed for floor area.

Yes, though the process differs slightly from a standard mortgage. Most Kenyan banks will finance off-plan purchases, but they typically require the developer to be pre-approved by the bank, and drawdowns are released in stages aligned to construction progress rather than as a lump sum.
