OUR DIASPORA SALES PROCESS
We aim to provide a point of contact for foreign investors and Kenyans in the diaspora as they venture into the local property market.
Step 1: Customer Enquiry & Response
Once you make your inquiry, our customer care team will respond within the shortest time possible. Details regarding the desired property may be sent via email, or an online meeting with a Mintvilla Housing executive can be arranged to help you make an informed investment decision.
Step 2: Site Visit
Our sales executive will arrange a site visit to the Mintvilla Housing Project of your choice. This can be achieved through a virtual tour of our property online; alternatively, you can send someone to view it on your behalf and identify the house that you would like to purchase.
Step 3: Reserve Your House
After the site visit, you may reserve your house using the requisite allocation site map. Complete the booking form that you will receive from us by email.
Step 4: Letter of Offer
Once the intent to purchase the house has been confirmed, Mintvilla Housing will issue a letter of offer outlining the terms and conditions of the sale. The letter of offer will indicate the appropriate bank account details for the Mintvilla Housing project to enable you to pay the first deposit towards the purchase of the property. As an organization we have various modes of payment that are tailor-made for the customer:

You will have seven (7) days to accept the letter of offer, which must be executed in duplicate as a confirmation that you have read, understood, and agreed to the terms and conditions stated therein.

You will be required to produce your original Identity (ID) Card, a Copy of your KRA PIN certificate, and a colored passport-size photograph. For Diaspora Financing the client will be required to notarise your financial statements and sale agreement by a licensed legal practitioner in your jurisdiction. You will have fourteen (14) days to execute the agreement for sale, after which it will be executed by the Mintvilla Housing board of directors and attested by our advocates.
Step 8: Closing Costs [ Transfer Fees, Stamp Duty & Legal Fees]
