Hi,  You really have to shop around for the best rates, as with anywhere else.  International banks such as Barclays and Standard Chartered are worth a look, as is Equity Bank.

Please bear in mind that interest rates for mortgages are quite high, I think in the region of 15% and an 80% mortgage is the maximum that you can get.  I believe mortages are repayable in something like 15 years, but you would have to check as it is some time since I enquired about a mortgage.

It is difficult to get a mortgage from a bank unless you are already a customer, but electronic credit checks are just being introduced, so this might be easier too.

Also, consider that some property developers allow you to spread payments over a period of 6 months to a year.

Good luck.

Try savings and Loan and HFCK, they have good rates. u will need legal help at some point i.e on isssues such as drafting the reply to the offer, valuation and the like. feel free to get in touch i would love to help u. regards
