What owners say

From developers to Airbnb hosts.

Buyers always ask how the building will be run after handover. Now we show them on their phone, before they sign.

Airbnb and Booking.com used to sell the same night twice. Now one calendar closes the other, and my cleaner sends photos of every turnover.

Every owner can see what service charge came in and where it went. The AGM was the shortest we have ever had.

Quick answers

How is my price worked out?

Property type, the area band your property is in, and the number of units. One flat price per unit per month, the same whatever rent you charge.

Do I pay for empty units?

Vacant or unlisted units are billed at half price, so listings, deposits and history stay live.

I have apartments and an Airbnb. One account?

Yes. Each property is priced by its own type and area, on one bill and one dashboard.

Do you work outside Kenya?

We are live in Kenya today, with Uganda, Tanzania and Rwanda next. If you manage property elsewhere in Africa, join the waitlist and we will set you up first when we launch in your country. Properties in different countries can sit on one account.

How do tenants and guests pay?

M-Pesa (prompt or Paybill), card or bank transfer. Payments match to the unit automatically and receipts go to both sides.

Can you move my existing tenant list?

Yes, free. Send us your Excel sheet or export from your current system and we set it up.

Is my money safe?

Tenants and guests pay straight into your own M-Pesa Paybill, Till or bank account. scharge matches and receipts every payment but never holds your money, so payouts are as fast as your bank.

Is tenant data protected?

We handle tenant and guest data under Kenya’s Data Protection Act, 2019, and the data protection law of every country we launch in. IDs are encrypted, visible only to people you choose, and deleted when you ask.
