Appreciation
There is nowhere in Kenya where land appreciates like in
Nairobi. If you want to buy land for speculation, this is definitely the place

and above. Anyone who bought one for speculation is smiling all the way to the
bank.
The worrying thing is that the rate of buying land in Nairobi is
higher than before and anytime soon, you’ll never get a cheap land to buy.
No payment of rent
Rent in Nairobi is extremely high. Ideally, most people work
rent. There are high chances that you will end up working in Nairobi and during
that time, you’ll find life easy if you own your own home in the city.
Assuming your monthly earning is Ksh100, 000 per month and you
have a family of 6 people, you have to look for a house in good estates like
South B, South C and Buruburu but the rent will consume at least 1/3 of your
salary. If you own a house, you’ll save the Ksh30, 000 you’d have spent on
rent.
To host relatives
Assuming your child joins the University of Nairobi and you have
a house in Nairobi, you’ll save the money you’d spent to rent a house for him.
When you have a house in Nairobi, it will be easy for your relatives to stay in
the city because you’ll be hosting them.
It’s easy to dispose your property in Nairobi
The demand for land in Nairobi is higher than in other towns. In
case you want to dispose the property, you won’t struggle much to get a buyer.
It’s not a dead investment
If you build land in the village and you don’t stay there, it
will be a dead investment. But if you build one in Nairobi, it won’t be a dead
investment. Even if you aren’t living in Nairobi, you can rent it out and earn
money monthly.
You can get a loan for the land
Banks and Saccos can easily give you a loan if you use land as
collateral. They know that even if you default the loan, they will easily
dispose your land and get back their money.
Use the loan for other investments.

The land you’ll buy is definitely a wise investment for your
children. Owning a piece of land in Ngong is good investment ideal for all kind of investors.
