Kenya's property
social network
Find real homes, verified offices, and trusted land listings. Connect directly with landlords and agents — no scams, no stories.
House hunting in Kenya is broken
Fake listings. Hidden costs. Unaccountable agents. Every Kenyan renter and buyer knows the frustration — and it's been this way for too long.
Fake listings everywhere
Scammers copy photos, post fictional properties, and collect deposits. Existing platforms do nothing to stop it.
Hidden costs
KSh 20k advertised rent becomes KSh 26k after service charge, water, caretaker, and garbage fees. Nobody tells you upfront.
Zero accountability
Agents have no ratings, no verified identity, no consequences for misleading you. A banned agent creates a new account the same day.
Everything on WhatsApp
No transaction record. No platform protection. No way to verify what was promised. Deals made in the dark.
Everything a property platform
should have been
HutYangu isn't a better directory. It's a fundamentally different model — social, accountable, and built for trust from the ground up.
Social discovery feed
Listings appear as rich posts with full-bleed photos, agent attribution, and community trust signals — not a search results page. Scroll like Instagram, find like a local.
DiscoveryVerified identity, always
Every lister is ID-verified before their first listing goes live. No anonymous postings. No untraceable agents. Every person is accountable for what they post.
Trust EngineIn-app chat & calls
Message any lister for free before paying. Book viewings as structured in-app events. Call via the platform — your personal number stays private.
CommunicationAll-inclusive pricing
Listings are required to declare whether prices include utilities and service charges. No more hidden costs. What you see is what you pay.
TransparencyQR in-person verification
Each listing has a unique QR code. Scan it when you visit the property to mark it as verified in person. Real trust built by real people who actually showed up.
VerificationM-Pesa native payments
Pay to unlock contact details with a single M-Pesa STK push. No cards, no PayPal, no foreign payment friction. Just your PIN and you're done.
PaymentsOne platform for every property need
Whether you're looking for a bedsitter in Kasarani, an office in Westlands, land in Ruaka, or a furnished flat for the weekend — HutYangu has it.

Apartments, bedsitters, studios, maisonettes, townhouses, and family homes across Kenya's urban centres.
Commercial
Offices, retail shops, godowns, and showrooms. Filter by square footage, floor, and permitted use class.
Land
Plots, agricultural parcels, and industrial land. Title deed type and acreage verified and displayed up front.

From scroll to move-in in three steps
Designed for how Kenyans actually look for homes — on a phone, in motion, on Safaricom data.
Discover & save
Browse the social feed, filter by neighbourhood, budget, and type. Save listings you love. Follow agents whose listings match your style.
Message & verify
Message the lister for free. Check the trust score, verified visit count, and ratings from previous renters before spending a shilling.
Unlock & move in
Pay a small M-Pesa unlock fee to get the lister's full contact. Book a viewing in-app. Rate your experience afterward to help the next person.
Trust isn't a feature.
It's the whole product.
Every design decision in HutYangu answers one question: does this make the platform more trustworthy? The trust engine is what makes us different from every platform that came before.
Real people, real homes
I found my Kilimani apartment in three days. The verified visit count told me everything — 5 people had already been there. No surprises when I showed up.
As an agent, HutYangu gave me a professional profile I can be proud of. My 4.8 rating follows me everywhere and clients reach out already trusting me.
I was tired of driving across Nairobi for listings that didn't exist. With HutYangu I only go for properties that have been seen in person by at least two people.
