Dinara Developers Ltd.


I saw an advert in the Daily Nation yesterday posted by these guys. According to the advert, they are located at Oak Plaza Thika.

They [according to the advert] are selling one bedroom and two bedroom apartments in Makongeni behind Shell petrol stations. A two bedroom apartment is going for 1.6 Million.

One: Anyone who has dealt with them before? Are they the real deal or just part of the Land & Property Fraud Inc.

Two: How much are rents in that area of Makongeni. The idea is to rent out the apartment after buying it and I want to see if it makes economic sense.

Of course I will do proper due diligence [depending on the information/advice I get here] but it helps to get the preliminary analysis before.
Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

Thanks for @a4architect. Always value your input on matters real estate. By the way I saw a sign in Karen for a4architect. Are you based in Karen?

Back to the matter at hand.

No I haven't parted with the money. Didn't even know about the 50k until you posted the link.

I must say the 50k issues makes this guys look fishy!!!

Ati to benefit you need to be a member.

To become a member you need ID, Pin Certificate and Kshs. 50,000/=

The advert didn't mention anything about membership. Just houses for sale. This smells like a con job meant to collect as many 50k's from Kenyans as possible!!! But it could also be genuine. What we need now is information from someone who has dealt with them or knows someone who has dealt with them.

Over to wazuans.

@a4architect, I would appreciate any more information you might gather.

@dunkang - Do you have any info on this?

@maichblack, the best way to get any info about construction is to get to know the project architect,QS or Engineer who at least gets regulated in their conduct by Government/Registration board. I suggest you ask them to give you the architect's contacts then let him/her explain to you.

My office is at Karen near Deputy President's official residence. The billboard you saw is mine. Next time you are around, pass by we discuss.

Give this another few months/or 1 year and many kenyans will be wailing about being conned.
