Real estate insurance in Kenya covers the risks that come with developing, owning and letting property: damage to buildings under construction or in use, the owner's liability to tenants and visitors, damage to plant and equipment, and the rental income a property loses when insured damage strikes. The right combination depends on whether you're building, holding or letting.

Naveah Capital is an IRA-licensed broker — we work for the property owner, not for any single insurer. For every property risk we compare terms across 9+ of Kenya's leading insurers, structure the cover around the asset and its income, and stay beside you through every claim.

The real estate ecosystem

Frequently asked questions

What insurance does a property owner in Kenya need?

At minimum, building cover at reinstatement value plus property owners' liability. If the property is let, loss-of-rent cover protects the income; if it has significant plant — lifts, generators, solar — those are added to the schedule. We assess the property and recommend only what the risk actually requires.

Do you handle high-value commercial properties?

Yes. Commercial buildings, mixed-use developments and portfolios are placed with the insurers best suited to large property risk, and significant assets get a property review rather than a form-filled quote.

Which insurers do you compare for property risk?

We broker across 9+ of Kenya's leading insurers — including APA, Jubilee, Britam, Occidental, GA and Heritage — and place each risk where the terms and claims record are strongest.

What does property insurance cost in Kenya?

Building cover is typically priced as a small percentage of the reinstatement value, adjusted for construction type, occupancy and location, with liability and loss-of-rent added at modest cost. Share the property details and we'll return exact comparisons.
