@muandiwambeu cant agree anymore. Let young people with a duty to feed their ego take these apartment houses. ATI service charge of 20k every month . Dangerous.mbaya sana kabisa

Instant gratification. They want to convince anyone who cares that they are in the dough, with a furnished apartment. Needless to say, they realize their mistake once maturity sets in. Indeed, they pay millions to be tenants for the rest of their lives. They literally pay to be slaves of the developing company. The developing company retains the title deed and give them little pieces of paper signed by a gang of thieves called lawyers. Then the development company claims a "service charge" and other fees to manage the property. What is the point of having a house you cant call your own since you have no title deed, pay rent "service charge" which is almost the same amount that you use to pay rent in the same apartment.

1. Normally, they display your name in a big notice board at the main entrance as "LIST OF DEFAULTERS".
2. At Nyayo Embakasi, though the service charge is an acceptable 2,500/- p.m, they are known to PUT A HUGE PADLOCK and lock you out of your "own house". This happens if you default for a very long time (I.e. over 50,000/-).
YES, they can auction your house. Its all in the fine prints.

Prudence and rationale. A mosquito bite is not a certainity to malaria but its worthwhile to note that, that bloodsucking insect is a killer malaria vector.

Sure. Wisdom is not cleverliness. Then, when subjectivity is irrationale the rationale is objectivity. Why subjectively get a ring from the sucker?

Interesting, but the padlock thing, do they forcibly evict whoever is in the house first before locking it, and on the auctioning part that would require one to have signed the house as collateral or something, otherwise I would assume a court case would be necessary to attach ones assets for a debt.

Unless Kenyans attach a lot of ego to their places of residence, but judging by our corrupt ways, and just looking at our road driving culture, I would expect lots of defaulters on the service charge.

Recently I moved to an employer whose mortgage rate is 3% p.a reducing balance. I cant wait to get confirmed and immediately take the maximum mortgage possible with my salary. The only concern is how I will fast track the payments. I see many pros with this interest rate. Any cons?

Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.
