Frequently Asked Questions

In Kenya's real estate market, an unfurnished house typically means the property is sold as an empty shell with no furniture, appliances, or sometimes even basic fittings like curtains or light fixtures. The buyer is responsible for all interior elements.

Yes, unfurnished houses generally cost less than comparable furnished properties since you're not paying for furniture and appliances. Savings can range from Ksh 1 million to Ksh 10 million depending on property size and location.

Absolutely. Unfurnished properties often have more negotiation room since sellers don't need to recoup furniture costs. In Kenya's current market (2025), buyers typically negotiate between 5-15% off asking prices.

Key things to inspect: quality of finishes (tiles, paint), plumbing and electrical systems, window treatments if included, kitchen cabinetry quality, and any structural elements that would be harder to change later.

The timeline varies based on budget and preferences. Most Kenyan homeowners take between immediate move-in (pre-fabricated solutions) to several months (custom furniture). Essential furnishing can often be completed within weeks.

Yes, Kenyan banks provide mortgage financing for unfurnished properties just like furnished ones. Some lenders even offer separate home improvement loans specifically for furnishing after purchase.
