How Mortgages Work in Kenya

A mortgage is a long-term loan specifically for purchasing property. In Kenya, mortgages typically run for 5-25 years with interest rates ranging from 11% to 15% annually. Banks and financial institutions require a minimum deposit (usually 10-20% of property value) and assess your income to determine loan eligibility. Our mortgage calculator helps you plan your home purchase by showing exact monthly payments and total costs.

Mortgage Calculation Factors

Several factors determine your mortgage in Kenya:

  • Property Value: Total cost of the house or land you want to buy
  • Deposit Amount: Upfront payment, typically 10-20% of property value
  • Loan Amount: Property value minus deposit
  • Interest Rate: Annual rate charged by the lender (11-15% typical)
  • Loan Tenure: Repayment period, usually 5-25 years
  • Monthly Income: Used to determine maximum affordable EMI (typically 30-40% of income)

Mortgage Costs Beyond EMI

When budgeting for a mortgage, remember additional costs: Legal fees (1-2% of property value), valuation fees (KES 10,000-30,000), stamp duty (4% of property value), mortgage insurance (if required), and property insurance. Our calculator focuses on the loan itself, but budget for these extras when planning your home purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much mortgage can I afford in Kenya?

Banks typically allow mortgage EMI of up to 30-40% of your gross monthly income. For example, with a gross salary of KES 200,000, you might qualify for EMI of KES 60,000-80,000, which could finance a loan of KES 10-12 million over 20 years at 13% interest.

What is the minimum deposit for a mortgage in Kenya?

Most Kenyan banks require a minimum deposit of 10-20% of the property value. Some affordable housing schemes may accept lower deposits (5-10%), while high-value properties might require 20-30%. A larger deposit reduces your loan amount and monthly EMI.

Can I get mortgage interest relief in Kenya?

Yes! Kenyan taxpayers can claim mortgage interest relief on their PAYE tax. This relief can significantly reduce your tax burden, effectively lowering the true cost of your mortgage. Consult with KRA or your tax advisor for current relief limits.

Should I choose a fixed or variable mortgage rate?

Fixed rates provide payment certainty but might be higher initially. Variable rates can start lower but may increase. In Kenya's current market, many prefer fixed rates for budgeting certainty, especially for first-time buyers.
