Nairobi’s satellite estates registered a substantial increase in rent rates late last year on demand by households displaced from middle-class neighbourhoods due to the Covid-19 economic fallout.

A new survey shows that outpost estates in locations such as Ongata Rongai, Ngong and Thika recorded rent rises of 8.1, 4.8 and 3.4 per cent, respectively.
