About
A property consultancy built around the client's need for confidence
Alphatstone has operated in Nairobi since 2017, advising clients on sales, lettings, valuations, and strategic property decisions with one constant: the matter stays between us.
Who we are and how we work
Alphatstone is a specialist property consultancy headquartered on Riverside Drive, Nairobi. We serve a defined client group: private individuals with significant property holdings, family offices managing multigenerational assets, and institutional investors seeking entry into or rationalisation of Kenyan real estate. Our practice covers four disciplines — sales, lettings, independent valuation, and strategic consulting — and we are deliberate about not expanding beyond them. The team numbers fewer than fifteen professionals, which is not a limitation but a deliberate choice. Every client instruction is handled by a named senior adviser who carries personal accountability for that mandate from first meeting to conclusion. We have completed over 180 mandates since founding, with a referral rate that reflects the satisfaction of clients who prefer not to be named in case studies.
What shapes the way we advise
The slate-professional character of our practice is intentional. We do not hold press events, publish client lists, or court media attention. The properties we represent and the clients we serve are not featured in lifestyle editorials. This is a considered position: many of our clients have chosen Alphatstone precisely because a prominent agency was unsuitable for their circumstances. Our advisers are drawn from backgrounds in chartered surveying, investment banking, and Kenyan property law. They bring sector depth that a generalist agency cannot replicate, and they are trained to surface difficult truths — an overpriced listing, a structurally constrained site, a tenant risk that is easy to overlook — rather than say what a client hopes to hear. We accept that this approach means we turn away instructions that do not fit. It also means that when we accept an instruction, we complete it to a standard we are prepared to defend.
“What distinguished Alphatstone from three other agents we interviewed was not their pitch — it was their willingness to tell us the asking price we had in mind was unrealistic. That honesty, delivered early, saved us months of wasted time. We sold at a figure close to their revised estimate and the process was handled entirely without publicity.”
