A look at Kenya Real Estate Marketing Strategies, Brand Positioning, and Restart strategies for Investors post Covid-19, for Investment Risks Management for Kenya Real Estate Investors.

As the different sectors of the economy anticipate re-opening after Covid-19 economic disruption, the process will take different shapes, with different sectors opening up in different ways and at differing speeds. The coronavirus still lurks, and the ability to contain the second wave will dictate what happens next in the economy. As the economy reopens, the big challenge among real estate investors will be how to navigate the harsh environment created by the Covid-19 pandemic. Furthermore, Investors’ eagerness to restart and rebuild is understandably immense, but so are the questions that a return to business raises. The financial health, employee motivation to return to work, rate of demand pick-up, and the organization’s operations and supply chain.

As such, Real Estate Investors will need to take a holistic approach to restart in order to realize a return on investment (ROI). The following are the salient restart, marketing, and brand positioning strategies for Real Estate Investors, based on our research and expertise in the real estate industry.

a.) Creating a detailed relaunch map

The Covid-19 crisis has shattered many of the assumptions and tools that Investors rely on for decision-making. Therefore, for the restart, Investors will need to define a solid framework for action in a highly volatile environment. As such, a detailed relaunch map, site by site, segment by segment, customer by customer, and product by product, will be required to prioritize the recovery opportunities. The map will guide marketing and sales effort, production, supply chain, construction projects, and help determine each project’s recovery timeline. This will also enable investors to get a head start on reassessing projects, investments, and expenditure while incorporating variables of high-impact market conditions.

As such, this strategy should cover:

• regulatory requirements, such as new tax regulations
• Breakdown of clients’ base.In their planning, Investors will need to clarify the parameters and assumptions about their clients. This includes clients’ market confidence and financial health as it determines their propensity to consume or save.

b.) Reviving demand

During the restart, one imperative for investors will be to revive the demand for their products. Therefore, they will have to stimulate demand, guarding against any risk of distorting price models or fueling a deflationary curve. As Such, they will have to be ready to reallocate brand positioning and marketing expenses quickly. Nevertheless, the marketing expenses should be weighed against the risk of triggering a price increase leading to a supply-demand imbalance and competitive approaches that destroy value due to high pricing. Discounts and promotional models should be well thought and accurately implemented for sustainability.

Furthermore, the marketing strategy will have to be optimized by making product offerings which are in line with the Covid-19 pandemic-related shift in demand.

The following are the brand awareness and marketing strategies an investor could adopt to optimize his/her marketing strategy.

i.) Content marketing Campaign and virtual reality

An Investor could create digital content in the form of videos, blog articles, podcasts, and webinars, to increase their online presence as most people are spending much of their time online. Such videos include videos showing property’s features, which will make one stand out from other investors who use images and written descriptions. Furthermore, investors need to adopt digital marketing strategies such as virtual tours and virtual open houses for clients who cannot visit the development site.

ii.)  Social Media Marketing

Real estate investors should pay more attention to their real estate social media marketing techniques, as most people are spending significant time on social media. They should, therefore, create unique posts for all social media channels, as each one of them generates a different type of real estate leads.

iii.) Maintain a consistent marketing presence

Consistent marketing puts an investor’s name and brand on potential clients’ minds for future consideration. Real Estate investors could achieve this by consistently using the marketing strategy they have chosen for their product, for instance, updating social media posts frequently.

iv.) Optimize Your Website for Search

When it comes to making a real estate product purchase, most people will go online before visiting a development site. An investor could, therefore, optimize his/her website such that it is user and SEO-friendly. Website visitors should be able to navigate through using their phones and computers comfortably.

c.) Increase decision making speed

Investors should Increase the speed of decision making during the restart phase to address a large number of interdependent issues simultaneously. It will be important to maintain the flexibility, speed of execution, and simplified decision and reporting lines for crisis management. This will involve regularly establishing situational assessments, developing potential scenarios, designing and adapting the strategic road map, determining the strategic actions and movements to be undertaken in each scenario, and identifying trigger thresholds allowing the Investor to act systematically at the right time.

d.) Ensure optimal use of working capital

Real Estate investors must model their financial data in each transaction and systematically identify factors that could affect liquidity and determine appropriate measures to preserve financial resilience. This way, they will be able to monitor and use their current assets and liabilities for maximum return on investment.

Conclusion

The brand positioning and restart strategies mentioned above will call for due diligence for Investors to position themselves ahead of the competition and facilitate real estate transactions. Therefore, embracing these actions will help real estate investors to value-assure the restart.

C.) KENYA REAL ESTATE TRENDS

i.) High-end property resilient despite market challenges

Nairobi High-end property suburbs showed resilience despite the continued challenges in the property market attributed to the Covid-19. The Hass Property price index for the third quarter of 2020, which was released on 27th November 2020, shows that high-end suburbs, which are predominantly characterized by detached houses, bucked the trend. The resilience in prices was attributed to the fact that most buyers of high-end houses were looking for properties that offer consistent or stable returns regardless of the state of the overall property market.

Muthaiga suburb led this trend by posting a 1.4 percent price increase, becoming the best performing suburb over the 3rd quarter of 2020. Loresho, Runda, and other high-end suburbs, also displayed resilience with mild increases of 0.9 and 0.7 percent increases, respectively.

ii.) Construction Approvals in Nairobi reduce by 55 percent

The Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) data, released on 18^th November 2020, shows that the value of construction approvals dipped to Sh120.78 billion in the nine months to September 2020, compared to Sh176.5 billion over a similar period of 2019. The value of residential approvals fell by Sh30.5 billion in the nine months to September 2020 from Sh114.6 billion in 2019, while that of commercial segments fell from Sh61.9 billion in 2019 to Sh36.7 billion in 2020. The dip in construction approval was attributed to a dip in the application for approvals attributed to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Furthermore, according to a report by the Architectural Association of Kenya (AAK), the number of building plans application approvals has been falling for the past three years. The third edition of the AAK construction report in quarter one of 2019 showed 1,140 development plans were approved in 2017, while in 2018, there were 1,167 approvals. In 2020, 955 plans were approved for the period between January 2020 and June 2020, with a value of Sh84 billion, translating to Sh333 million permit fees collected by the county. The residential sector had the highest approvals at 74.32 per cent of total approvals, public use class had 11.23 per cent, industrial class (8.63), commercial (5.93), and educational (0.21).

D.) GLOBAL REAL ESTATE TRENDS

i.) Mainland China, Hong Kong Office Markets Explore New Business Models amid Covid-19

China and Hong Kong are exploring an office space business model where tenants would pay membership fees instead of rent, as landlords are compelled to keep up with increasing vacancies and the rapid rise of the new digital economy. According to the model, which was initiated by the JLL, a monthly membership fee is calculated based on the workplace experience and specifications for each employee, who will also have access to shared amenities, such as dining, retail, social, and wellness spaces.

According to JLL, the rising vacancies and the growing supply of new buildings are putting pressure on building owners to retain existing tenancy and expand clientele. But with a membership ecosystem (which could also be adopted by Kenya Grade A office space), owners can make more efficient use of their assets and drive more income while providing a higher quality environment to occupiers at a potentially lower cost.

ii.) Mortgage Applications in the USA increase in Mid-November 2020

According to the Mortgage Bankers Associations of the United States latest Mortgage Applications Survey for the week ended 20^th November 2020, U.S. Mortgage applications increased 3.9 percent week on week. Furthermore, the Market Composite Index, a measure of mortgage loan application volume, increased by 3.9 percent on a seasonally adjusted basis from week on week in November 2020.

According to the Mortgage Bankers Association, the weekly mortgage rate volatility increased week on week as markets responded to fiscal policy uncertainty and a resurgence in Covid-19 cases around the country. The decline in rates ignited borrower interest, with applications for both home purchases and refinancing increasing weekly and annually. According to Joel Kan, MBA’s Associate Vice President of Industry and Economic Forecasting in the United States, both the refinance index and the share of refinancing applications were at their highest levels since April 2020, as lower rates drew more conventional loan borrowers into the mortgage market. On the other hand, In Kenya, banks are the main providers of mortgage financing, but because of liquidity issues they are reluctant to expand their mortgage portfolio and hence low mortgage uptake.

E.) COMMON REAL ESTATE & DEVELOPMENT CHALLENGES,  AND SOLUTIONS

Transitioning a Development Project from Construction to Occupational Property.

YOUR CHALLENGE:

There are three phases of Development and Real Estate Projects, these being the Design Phase, the Construction Phase, and the Property Operational or Occupational phase. The challenge comes in transitioning the project from construction phase after completion, to operational and occupational phase, by adhering to transitional guidelines that manage investment risks, as well as allowing a smooth handover of the project from the building contractor to the manager or operator of the property.

THE SOLUTIONS:

There are a number of checklist to observe, consider, and implement while transitioning a project from construction phase after project completion, to operational or occupational phase, and as below:

1. Occupational Certificate: The occupier or operator of the property should ensure that the occupational certificate has been issued by the relevant County Planning Department, after the project has been completed. This documentation is facilitated by the Project Architect.
2. As-built drawings: The occupier or operator of the property should also ensure that he/she receive all the as-built drawings from design consultants, starting with Architect, the Structural Engineer, and Services Engineer.
3. User Manual and Machine Maintenance Schedule Templates: The occupier or operator of the property is also advised to ask from the contractors for all User Manuals for machinery and equipment installed during the construction phase, as well as Maintenance Schedule Templates during the handover of the project at completion.
4. Insurance: The occupier or operator of the property should also ensure that he/she places necessary insurance for the house, or development after completion, or a transition transfer or handover is made from Construction Insurance to the Property insurance.
5. Security: In any project, the security during the construction phase is usually the responsibility of the Contractor. The occupier or operator of the property should ensure that he/she procure his/her own security arrangement during the handover process.
6. Management Company: For major real estate project, it is recommended that the project after completion be handed over from the building contractor to a Property Management company to allow a smooth transition. The occupier or operator of the property should therefore hire a property or facility manager prior to handover.

THE CONSULTANT TO ENGAGE:

The Consultant to engage to help you in choosing the right and reputable contractor to execute your project is a Project Manager, with the help of a Property Manager.

F.) THIS WEEK ON FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs), AND ANSWERS

QUESTION:

What is a good Yield for Rental Property Investment in Kenya?

ANSWER:

For anyone considering buying an investment property for rental income will surely be interested in what return the property will give, in other words its yield. Yield refers to the measurement of a future income on an investment. Yield is calculated by taking the annual rental income amount or expected annual rental; divide by the property’s purchase price or current market value; and multiply this figure by 100 to get the percentage. Yield can further be classified as Gross Yield, Net Yield, and All Risk Yield.

In Kenya, anything above 6% is generally considered a good rental yield for a Residential Property investment. In up-market area of Nairobi, however, it’s common for properties to generate yields as high 7 or 8%.

What’s classed as a good rental yield also differs between residential and commercial properties investments. So, what is a good rental yield for residential vs commercial property? A minimum of 6% indicates a smart investment for residential property. For commercial property, however, a rental return of up to 8% is a lot more common and favorable.

But why does commercial property generate good rental yield averages? Commercial Properties Tenant tend to reside within the same property for a long lease period, giving investors a secure period in which returns are assured and void periods dodged. Commercial properties also tend to come with a cheaper market price, especially since a lot of the properties are non-partitioned. Paired with high monthly rent, investors can end up with a strong yield commercial property investment.

M.) FACTORS THAT WILL SHAPE THE REAL ESTATE AND OTHER MARKETS IN THE NEXT ONE WEEK.

i.)  Kenya Covid-19 red light alarm by the US government

The US center for Disease control (CDC) on 03^rd December 2020 classified Kenya among other East African countries as harboring very high levels of Covid-19. The country was classified in “Level Four” category, with the CDC strongly warning American citizens against travelling into the country, stating that travelling may increase their chances of getting and spreading Covid-19.

The Covid-19 alarm by the US government is expected to be a blow to the hospitality industry (Hotels, restaurants, country homes and serviced apartments), which majorly relies on tourists. The alarm is expected to inhibit global tourist arrival in to the country, reducing the bed occupancy rates to historic lows during the festive season.

ii.) Narrowing of the current account deficit

Latest Central Bank of Kenya data shows that the current account deficit (which is the balance between the country’s foreign exchange inflows and outflows) as a percentage of gross domestic product (GDP) declined by 2 percent to stand at 4.9 percent as of November 2020, compared to 5.0 percent as of October 2020 and 5.4 in October 2019.

The Narrowing current account deficit (More exports than Imports) is expected to stabilize the plummeting Kenya shilling against major international currencies, thereby reducing the cost of construction materials importation. Furthermore, the narrowing current account deficit is expected to lower the real estate valuation, as the shilling strengthens.
