Find a Home You Can Trust: Fixing the Most Frustrating Search in Uganda

Looking for a house in Kampala can feel like a second job. You pay a broker to "show you around," spend a Saturday in traffic, and discover the place was let two weeks ago — or never looked like the photos.

WetuProperty was built to make that search honest.

Browse everything, free

Photos, prices and neighbourhoods are free to browse, with no sign-up required. Homes for sale, long-term rentals, short stays, coliving, student housing and offices — all in one place.

Pay only to unlock

When you find a place you like, you pay a small fee set by the owner — usually around UGX 5,000 — to unlock the exact address, a map pin and the owner's WhatsApp. Then you visit in person, on your own schedule.

Your money back if it's wrong

If the address is wrong or the home is already let, the fee is refunded within 48 hours. That one promise changes the incentives for everyone: listings stay accurate because inaccurate ones cost money.

Verified homes

A growing collection of homes has been visited by the WetuProperty team — look for the verified mark when you want extra confidence.

For owners: list free, earn from every unlock

Owners list for free and keep 60% of every unlock fee. Users who post properties that are rented or sold can earn commission too. Good listings are rewarded; that is the whole design.
