@guru, KYI - Know Your Investments
Most banks have cut their base rate—which means that their real lending rates are higher since they charge a premium to borrowers that is added onto the quoted rate based on the evaluation of the customers’ default risk.
@mwekez@ji from the above post i gather you are saying that HFCK does not have a mechanism of differentiating the default risks of various customers and hence offers a uniform effective rate. This scares me very much about the quality of the balance sheet because Doesn't it mean that all the high potential defaulters are running to HFCK for cheap debt that cannot be found elsewhere??

You should know there are special classes of borrowers who enjoy lower rate than the effective rate that is made public.
BOTTOM LINE: 1. HF does not load risk premium on the effective rate 2. HF will continue to be the preferred mortgage lender 3. HF will continue winning market share . Does no one in HFCK pay above the effective rate?? Just curious! Where did you find out about HFs lack of a risk premium?? @guru, KYI - Know Your Investments Housing Finance reduces lending rate to 18 per cent “Ours is an effective rate and it’s the level at which we lend to customers as opposed to the base rate. The lower cost of borrowing will help to turnaround our loan book,” said Frank Ireri Housing Finance managing director.

You got it all wrong and that is very scary. A guru of your status should know better. Only then will you comprehend the unique lending models adopted by HFCK and why it will continue being the leader of the mortgage industry with good quality assets.

Where is this huge volume coming from and the price is depressed? "Don't let the fear of losing be greater than the excitement of winning."

Help me understand what I have got all wrong! You were the one that said all customers of HFCK pay one effective rate! You were the one that said that HFCK did not attach risk premiums to their dear customers Which unique lending models calculate ONE rate for all customers?? It sounds pretty basic to me!  Mark 12:29

I warned folks about the potential issues with the new land laws. Caveat Emptor. *On all other metrics I like HFCK. The new land laws scare me as an investor* Greedy when others are fearful.

Recap for your comprehension: 1.The rate given by HF is effective rate and no risk premium is loaded thereafter. 2.Special classes of borrowers get lower rate than the effective rate that is made public. 3.These HF pricing models are unique from the exploitative models applied by other lenders who quote base rate and then load high risk premium on the borrower

The fear of the new land laws is overblown. Never will any country draft a law to crumble the financial system

The web is quite interesting if you start digging for information. I wonder how many people are aware that this KE site exists - http://www.irac.co.ke - Interest Rates Advisory Centre - as per their website they are located at Ambassador Court, Block A, Flat No. 3, Milimani Road (Directly Opposite Heron Hotel, next to former CID Hqtrs). From the site I can see a number of HF cases... http://bit.ly/S9vJNg - HF's penalty interest charges. http://bit.ly/S9vJNg - Class action against HF They also have some case studies - http://www.irac.co.ke/cstudies.html
Is this organization in existence to date? $15/barrel oil... The commodities lehman moment arrives as well as Sovereign debt volcano!
