Own an apartment in Kampala, Kigali or Nairobi
Tell me what you want and what you can spend. I find you a matching apartment from developers I have checked myself, guide you through the purchase, and stay with you until the title is in your name.
Who this is for
- Eritreans living in Europe, North America, the Middle East or Africa who want a home or an investment in Kampala.
- People who want to buy but worry about fraud, fake titles, or being far away while the deal happens.
- Families who want somewhere of their own in Uganda to come back to, or to rent out until they do.
How it works
You register your interest
The short form below. I call you on WhatsApp at a time that suits you, in Tigrinya or English, and we go through what you want in detail.
You view it, in person or by video
If you can travel, I arrange the visits. If you cannot, I or your own representative views the apartment on a live video call with you.
You buy directly from the developer
I explain the sale agreement, the payment schedule and the transfer costs, and recommend an independent lawyer if you need one. I remain your contact until you have the keys and the title.
How I check every developer
Before a developer appears on my list, I check:
- Company registration with the Uganda Registration Services Bureau (URSB) and tax registration with URA
- A title search at the Land Registry on the land the apartments stand on
- Building approvals from KCCA or the relevant district, and NEMA clearance where required
- Their track record: completed projects, delivered on time, titles actually transferred to earlier buyers
- A site visit by me, in person, to the project itself
Why me
I am Aklilu Habtemichael, founder and host of Gzena TV. I have lived in Kampala for over 15 years, I run businesses here, and I have spent years helping Eritreans understand how business and investment work in Uganda. I know the developers, the lawyers, the land office and the mistakes people make when they buy from far away. I built this service because too many of our people have been cheated, and it does not have to be that way.
Questions people ask me
Can I buy an apartment in Uganda if I am not a Ugandan citizen?
Yes. Non-citizens can own apartments under a condominium title, and can hold land on a long lease. I explain which type of title each apartment comes with before you decide.
How do I know the title is real?
Before I show you any apartment, a title search has been done at the Land Registry on the land it stands on, and the developer's company and approvals have been checked. You also get an independent lawyer's review before you sign.
Can I pay in instalments?
Most developers offer payment plans, often a deposit followed by monthly or quarterly instalments while the building is completed. I show you the plan for each apartment on the shortlist.
