Make every viewing count. Use this short checklist to compare apartments like a pro.

A viewing is your chance to see beyond the brochure. Go prepared with these five questions and you will come away with everything you need to decide.

1. Location and daily routine

How long does it take to reach work, school and the mosque or church you attend? Is shopping close by? A great apartment in the wrong location rarely feels great for long.

2. Layout, light and space

Look at the floor plan and imagine your furniture in each room. Check where the sun comes in and whether there is enough storage.

3. Essential services

In Mombasa, reliable power and water make a real difference. Ask about backup generators, borehole water and how many lifts serve each floor.

4. Security and parking

Is there CCTV coverage and controlled access? How many parking spaces come with each unit?

5. The numbers

Ask for the full price list, payment terms and expected service charges so you can compare options fairly.

Every Amini project page lists unit sizes, prices and amenities — so you can shortlist before you visit.
