1.Many people don't like stand alone houses due to security issues, hiring all those extra staff(gardeners, watchies, etc)
2. Location? I have a friend who has a beach front 3 br flat in Nyali. Could u compare that to a stand-alone in Utange?(as standalone houses in Nyali are quite rare)
@TGoldman if it's 2250 Sq ft. It's an ok deal. Is it for investment? Don't know much about lenana road, however, I was offered on ole-dume road @16m 3br. But those were 1800sqf and the finishing was ok.
Horton its 2250sq, 3br all en-suite but no other amenities like pool, gym etc. The best price they can give me is 20m...Whats your take bro?

@TGoldman.....asking too many people would just end up confusing you. I remember when I bought my first house a few years back, I would ask someone and I would mostly be discouraged (price is too high or area isn't good, getting tenants is difficult etc) what I realized is that most of these so-called "real estate experts" we're indeed someone's tenants, ie they didn't own any property.
If I were you, I would compare similar properties in the region of interest, find out how hard it is to rent(and if it is indeed hard, then why?), find out prices of similar properties, also the price you have been quoted is 8,888/= psf. It's an ok price, not a "steal" price. You are not getting a bargain of the year, neither are you getting ripped off. I understand these are still off plan? Then you have the upper hand, offer them 17m and see what happens. Don't pay asking price. Keep haggling, whatever you save would be to your advantage.
Good luck.
