Everyone who has been to Mombasa will agree that this city is very beautiful. The Indian Ocean and historical sites have made this Mombasa a travel destination for many.
For this reason, many people would love to own a house or rather a home in Mombasa County.
Business people venturing into real estate business also find Mombasa as an ideal place for such businesses.
However, if you are planning to buy a house or rent in Mombasa County, then consider finalising your plans during the rainy seasons.
Buying property during the dry season is also good, but regrets might be too much for one to bear.
There are some areas in this county that look very attractive but are inaccessible when the rainy season starts.
For instance, most parts of Kisauni remain flooded during the entire rainy season, but very beautiful and appealing during the dry season.
The look might deceive the buyer to spend his/her savings in the name of buying my 'dream home', but bitterly regret when the rains kick off.
Alamin Siwa Somo, a real estate agent notes that renting or selling the property becomes hard during the rainy season, with potential buyers changing their plans upon seeing the house.
“This is not the first time I have lost a good business deal in Kisauni courtesy of the rainy seasons. It is impossible to convince one to buy, leave alone lease a building in the area during this period,” says Somo.
It is also during rainy seasons where one can tell the drainage system of a place if it works or not.
