About Kelvin

Kelvin Musagala advises buyers purchasing property in Nairobi and researches the market they are buying into. His work helps local, regional and diaspora buyers compare off-plan developments, apartments and homes across Kenya's capital before they reserve.

Before a project reaches a serious shortlist, the checks focus on developer delivery history, title and documentation readiness, payment structure, service-charge expectations, occupier demand, ROI assumptions and resale liquidity.

For diaspora buyers, that process is structured around an independent lawyer, written payment instructions and remote walkthroughs so funds and documents are verified before anything moves. Kelvin also publishes Nairobi property research using the same analysis behind buyer recommendations.
