Commercial Letting Agent in Nairobi

Finding office space in Nairobi takes longer than it should. Listings show no prices. Agents do not call back unless you need a full floor. And when you do find something, nobody explains what the service charge covers or how flexible the landlord actually is on the lease.

Simpl is a commercial letting agent based in Nairobi. We find the right office space for your business, handle the search, and walk you through the terms before you sign anything. Whether you need a private office for a team of three or a serviced space with a short lease, we work with businesses of every size, not just the ones renting 5,000 square feet.

TLDR / Key Summary

What Simpl does as your letting agent:

Searches active listings across Westlands, Upper Hill, Kilimani, and the CBD
Shortlists spaces that match your size, budget, and lease preference
Arranges viewings and briefs you on real costs before you walk in
Negotiates lease terms and service charges on your behalf

Small teams welcome. No minimum size.

What We Find For You

The office market in Westlands and across Nairobi is active. There are hundreds of spaces available, private offices, serviced suites, coworking desks, virtual addresses, but navigating it without local knowledge means wasting weeks on spaces that do not fit your budget or your situation.

When you work with Simpl, you get a shortlist of spaces that actually match what you need. You see the real total cost before you visit, rent, service charge, parking, any extras. You know which landlords are flexible on lease length and which ones are not. And you walk into every viewing knowing exactly what questions to ask.

We work with:

Private offices for teams of 2 to 20 people
Furnished and serviced offices ready to move into immediately
Coworking spaces and hot desks for solo operators and small teams
Short-term and month-to-month leases for businesses that need flexibility
Virtual office addresses for home-based businesses that need a professional Nairobi base

How We Find Your Office

Tell us what you need: team size, location preference, budget, and how long you need the space. No form to fill in, just a conversation.
We search and shortlist: we go through active listings across Westlands, Kilimani, Upper Hill, and the CBD. We filter out anything that does not fit and come back to you with three to five real options.
We arrange viewings and brief you first: before you walk into any space, we tell you what it costs all-in, what the lease terms look like, and what we would push back on if we were negotiating for ourselves.
You choose: we handle the rest. Once you pick a space, we manage the lease paperwork and any negotiation with the landlord. You start work. We handle the admin.

Why Appoint Simpl as Your Letting Agent

We manage properties across Nairobi, that means we know how landlords think, where they have room to move on price, and what lease terms are standard versus what can be negotiated. We use that knowledge on your behalf.

Westlands is one of the tightest and most competitive office markets in Nairobi. According to the Cytonn 2025 Commercial Office Report, serviced office rents in Westlands increased by 10.5% in 2025 alone. Getting the right space at the right terms matters more than it did two years ago.

We are based in Nairobi, not a global portal. We know which buildings are well-managed and which ones are not. We know which landlords are serious and which listings have been sitting for months for a reason.

Our commercial management in Nairobi and residential work means we already have relationships with building owners and managers across the city. Those relationships move things faster for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How much does office space cost in Westlands, Nairobi?

It depends on the type of space and the building. Small private offices in Westlands start at around KES 100 per square foot per month. Serviced offices with furniture and internet included run from KES 20,000 for a single-person space up to KES 100,000 or more for a team of ten. We give you a full cost breakdown before any viewing so there are no surprises on the day.

Q: Can I get a short-term or month-to-month lease in Nairobi?

Yes. Serviced offices and coworking spaces almost always offer monthly contracts with no minimum term. Traditional office leases typically run one to three years, but many landlords will negotiate shorter terms for smaller spaces. We tell you upfront which spaces have flexibility and which do not.

Q: What does a commercial letting agent do, and how do you charge?

We do the search for you. We find available spaces, arrange viewings, explain costs in plain language, and negotiate terms with the landlord. In most cases, the letting fee is paid by the landlord or building owner, not the tenant. We confirm the fee structure at the start so there are no surprises on either side.

Q: What is the difference between a serviced office and a traditional lease?

A serviced office is furnished, internet-ready, and includes services like reception, cleaning, and generator backup in one monthly fee. You move in and start working. A traditional lease gives you an empty shell, you furnish it yourself and manage services separately. Serviced offices cost more per square foot but have near-zero setup cost. For teams under fifteen people, they often work out cheaper overall once you factor in fit-out costs and the deposit on a conventional lease.

Q: Can I use a Nairobi office address for my KRA PIN or company registration?

Yes. A registered business address in Nairobi, whether from a physical office or a virtual office package, can be used for your company registration with the Business Registration Service and for your KRA obligations. We can help you find the right option depending on how you plan to use the space.
