Step 2: Can't Find What You Need? Submit a Househunt Request
If you browse our listings and cannot find exactly what you are looking for — the right size, price, or location — do not give up. Househunt Kenya's dedicated scouting service goes out and finds the property for you. Simply submit a househunt request on househuntkenya.com, tell us exactly what you need, and a dedicated scout gets to work immediately.
Whether you are looking for a bedsitter in Juja, a one bedroom apartment in Ruaka, a two bedroom along Thika Road, or a spacious house in Karen or Lower Kabete, our scouts know these areas inside out and will source verified options that match your exact brief.
The KSh 350 Scouting Fee: Your Dedicated Scout on the Ground
Once you submit your request, you pay a flat KSh 350 scouting fee via secure M-Pesa on our website. This immediately dispatches your dedicated scout to your target area — whether that is combing through apartments in Githurai and Roysambu, checking one bedroom units in Ruaka, inspecting bedsitters along Thika Road and Juja, or sourcing rentals in Utawala, Jogoo Road, Karen, or Lower Kabete.
- No More Wasted Weekends: Your scout handles all the physical walking, landlord meetings, and neighbourhood checks. You do not spend your Saturday travelling across Nairobi to inspect properties that do not match what was advertised.
- 100% Scam-Free Verification: Our scouts physically visit every property, confirm it exists, test water and security, and record real-time video walkthroughs for you to review from the comfort of your home — before you commit to anything.
- Detailed Feedback Delivered Fast: Within 24–48 hours, you receive a full verified report and video of shortlisted properties that genuinely match your requirements and budget.
Your KSh 350 puts a real, dedicated scout on the ground in your target area. Whether it is a one bedroom in Ruaka, a bedsitter in Githurai, or an apartment in Utawala — we find it, verify it, and bring it to you.
The KSh 1,250 Service Fee: Unlock Your Physical Site Visit
Once your scout has found properties that match your brief and you have reviewed the video feedback, the next step is a physical site visit. Before the in-person viewing is arranged, a flat KSh 1,250 service fee is paid upfront. This confirms your booking and unlocks direct, verified access to the landlord.
- You Only Travel When It Is Worth It: By the time you visit a property in person — whether it is a one bedroom apartment in Roysambu, a two bedroom in Karen, or a bedsitter along Jogoo Road — you have already seen verified footage and confirmed it meets your exact requirements. No surprises on arrival.
- Direct Landlord Access — No Middlemen: Your service fee unlocks the verified landlord's direct contact details. You sign your lease safely, confidently, and without anyone interfering between you and the property owner.
Your total cost from request to signed lease is a flat KSh 1,600 (KSh 350 scouting fee + KSh 1,250 service fee) — for a fully verified, scam-free rental anywhere across Nairobi and its surrounding areas.
