What your home will actually cost you.
Property costs in Africa are layered — stamp duty, legal fees, agent commission, transfer tax, survey fees. Our calculators show the true cost of buying, not just the mortgage repayment.
10 tools built for African property markets. Country-specific rates, real calculations, AI insights.
Buying property in Africa is fundamentally different from buying in Europe or America. Mortgage rates in Nigeria can reach 18-22% from commercial banks (or 6% through NHF), Kenya's rates hover around 12-14%, and South Africa's prime rate fluctuates with the repo rate. Beyond the mortgage itself, stamp duty, transfer costs, legal fees, agent commissions, and survey fees can add 8-15% to the purchase price. Our calculators show you the true cost of buying, not just the monthly repayment.
AfroTools provides 10 dedicated property tools covering mortgage repayment calculations, affordability checks based on real African bank DSR rules, stamp duty for 8 countries, rental yield analysis, rent-vs-buy comparisons, property transfer cost breakdowns, renovation cost estimates, first-home buyer savings plans (including NHF Nigeria, FLISP South Africa, Kenya Social Housing), and property ROI analysis that compares real estate returns against local stock markets and fixed deposits.
Every tool uses country-specific rates, fees, and regulations. We don't use generic formulas with US assumptions. When South Africa's Transfer Duty thresholds change, when Nigeria's NHF contribution rules are updated, or when Kenya's stamp duty bands shift, our tools are updated to reflect the new reality.
