Frequently Asked Questions

Malindi properties typically offer rental yields between 6-12%, with apartments generally providing higher yields (8-12%) than beachfront villas (7-10%). Actual returns depend on property type, location, and management quality.

Casuarina and Turtle Bay show the strongest capital appreciation due to their prime beachfront locations and limited supply of premium properties. Emerging areas like Silversand also show good growth potential as infrastructure improves.

Key drivers include: (1) Growing tourism numbers, especially Italian and domestic visitors; (2) Infrastructure upgrades like the Malindi-Salgaa road; (3) Increasing demand for second homes; and (4) Limited supply of quality beachfront properties.

Foreigners can own property through leasehold titles (typically 99 years) or by forming a Kenyan company to hold freehold land. Beachfront properties often have special conditions - consult a local lawyer before purchasing.

Peak rental seasons coincide with European winter (November-March) and local holidays (July-August). However, well-managed properties can achieve year-round occupancy through a mix of short-term holiday lets and longer-term expat rentals.
