Notes for buyers in the UK, the US, the UAE and Canada
From the UK
British Kenyans buy into Nairobi suburbs, Kiambu satellite hubs and Kajiado growth corridors. We help you align FX timing, Power of Attorney via the Kenyan High Commission in London, and an Ardhisasa search before any deposit moves.
Questions for this corridor
- Bank of England FX rates.
- UK tax residence and remittance basis.
- Kenyan High Commission notarisation slots.
- UK advocate cross-instruction.
From the US
American Kenyans focus on Nairobi, Kiambu and Kajiado for family-home acquisitions and yield plays. We walk you through Power of Attorney via the Embassy in Washington DC or the Consulate in Los Angeles, plus the Ardhisasa pre-checks to run before any wire.
Questions for this corridor
- US tax reporting on foreign property (ask your CPA).
- FATCA reporting on KRA filings.
- Embassy notarisation appointments.
- OFAC-clear escrow banking.
From the UAE
Gulf-based Kenyans buy heavily into the Coast: Mombasa city investment stock and Kilifi beachfront holiday homes. We walk you through the sequence: the free-zone employer NOC, the Kenyan Embassy in Abu Dhabi notarisation, and the brief your coastal advocate needs.
Questions for this corridor
- Free-zone employer NOC.
- AED to KES corridor banking.
- Coastal sectional-titles diligence.
- Embassy Abu Dhabi notarisation slots.
From Canada
Canadian Kenyans tend to buy in Nairobi, Kiambu and Kajiado, often family-first then yield-second. We walk you through the CRA-aware questions to raise with your own tax advisor, High Commission Ottawa notarisation, and the Ardhisasa pre-search to run before any wire instruction goes out.
Questions for this corridor
- CRA reporting on foreign property.
- CAD to KES corridor banking.
- High Commission Ottawa notarisation.
- Cross-border advocate coordination.

FAQ
Buying from the diaspora
Can I run a land search from abroad?
Yes. An official Ardhisasa search confirms the registered owner, the lease term and any charges. See our guide on running an Ardhisasa search from anywhere.
How do I authorise someone to act for me in Kenya?
A Power of Attorney, executed and authenticated through the Kenyan High Commission, lets a trusted person act on your behalf. See the Power of Attorney guide.
Do you sell me property or hold my money?
No. We are a content and intelligence platform. We help you verify and discover; the transaction, escrow and legal work stay with your own advocate and a CBK-licensed escrow.
What is the safest way to finance and verify off-plan from abroad?
Tie money to registered title and verified milestones, use your own advocate, and verify every approval. The complete off-plan guide and the financing resources walk through it.
What does a check cost, and in which currency?
The first call is free. SpaceKE Advisory is KSh 100,000 per project, ≈ USD 830 (approximate, planning rate of August 2026). We raise an invoice in your name and you settle it by bank transfer to Space Kenya Networks Limited, our registered company, in Kenyan shillings; the US dollar figure beside the price is indicative and for reference only. Payment never goes to an individual, and the account details reach you on the invoice itself rather than in a chat message.
