Frequently Asked Questions

Church properties in Kenya typically offer ROI between 10-20% annually, depending on location and property condition. Established churches in urban areas average 10-15%, while newer worship centers in growing suburbs can yield up to 20%. Rental income from auxiliary spaces like offices and halls can boost overall returns.

Most church properties are zoned specifically for religious use (Zone R3), though some may have mixed-use zoning allowing limited commercial activities. Always verify zoning with local authorities as requirements vary by county. Special permits may be needed for large assemblies or events.

Adequate parking significantly increases a church property's value. In urban areas, we recommend at least one parking space per 50 seats, while suburban churches should have one space per 25 seats. Properties with parking shortages may face valuation discounts of up to 30%.

Yes, many commercial buildings like warehouses or retail spaces can be converted into churches, often at lower costs than new construction. Key considerations include ceiling height (minimum 4m), column spacing (wide spans preferred), and compliance with assembly occupancy safety codes.

Several Kenyan banks offer specialized mortgage products for religious properties with terms up to 15 years. Some require at least a year's operating history if purchasing for an existing congregation. Alternative options include seller financing (common in church transactions) or cooperative society loans.
