I was taught in my survey class that the smallest legally divisible prot was an 1/8!

Na tofauti kati ya advance service charge and service charge deposit dio nini?

What will they do to me if I dont pay this service charge and instead despose my takataka alone and employ my own watchie whom I pay 5K monthly?

One thing I don't like about Kangundo rd are the old sand carrying trucks(Isuzu)that are driven recklessly..

The new way to milk Kenyan house buyers - Service Charge. Someone sells you houses and continues charging you Service Charge ad infinitum!!! You have no say on what, who, and how services are offered!

Ideally, a residents committee should run the estate's/courts affairs. Hii maneno ya the vendor charging 400 houses 20,000/= which equals 8,000,000/= monthly ya watchmen, swimming pool maintenance and cutting grass is pure thuggery!!!

The kind of contracts Kenyans are signing are crazy! Can you imagine some one giving an x years lease to an apartment you just bought??? Others leave space that they even manicure and you imagine it will be a play ground for your kids cum residents park only for the vendor to come back and erect more apartments on the space and you soon notice there is nothing you can do as per your contract!!!

If service charge is 22k huko kamulu, so how much is it huko lavington?

Thats why I rent a comfortable masionet(spl) near town and a walking distance from T-Mall Moi educational center...I live near civilization and sio huko bunduz.I pay watchie,takataka,grooming etal 2,500pm.
I will develop my plot pole pole bila stress nikipata windfall.

From a professional point of view, service charge is a must, though you should ensure that you are not exploited. Always vouch for a committee established by the residents. service charge should, however, be reasonable. Rent cant be 60k and service charge is 25k!!

Hii kitu yote ni crap. Look elsewhere and you will get better offers including buying your own plot and building.
