Frequently Asked Questions

Can I process everything remotely?
Yes, from application to disbursement. We coordinate with trusted conveyancers and valuers on the ground. You sign documents digitally or via our Kenyan embassy partnerships.
Yes, projected rental income from the financed property can be considered as part of your repayment capacity, typically at 70% of the market rental value.
The mortgage continues on the same terms. You may request a rate review if you switch to local employment, potentially qualifying for our standard mortgage rates.

Terms & Conditions

Diaspora Mortgages are secured against Kenyan property and governed by Kenyan law. The borrower must appoint a local representative (power of attorney) for physical processes such as property inspections and document execution where required.

Repayments can be made in the borrower's local currency with conversion at the prevailing exchange rate. Exchange rate fluctuations are borne by the borrower.
