Hi,

There is this property being sold on mortgage. its being financed by Development Bank. What's your take on it.

i read part of the sale agreement which says that interest is 2% above the current base rate...At the moment interest charged is 12%.

Any advice from wazua members.

12% sounds good but is it nominal or APR?

hi guys the apartments are being financed at a negotiated rate floating on the banks base rate minus 325basis point at any time depending on the money mkt conditions. currently 15.25% -3.25%=12%.
By the way got two units renting at kshs 20000. if one is interested hola.

These units were retailing for 3M until this week. Now each is going for 3.3M.
Deposit was 300k, now it is 600K. I don't think this is fare since there is no additional cost incurred: all of them were commpleted at the same time. Further more, the project is being funded to provide housing for the low end and middle class. I had considered to take one but due to the rise now I can't afford to raise the deposit.

There's also 360 Court at 2.8 with 300k deposit and 2.5 financing. By the same guys SEB Estates Limited.

What's the difference?

I intend to check them out soon.

Good stuff. I see on their site http://www.sebestates.co...d=1&subCat=Vmlldw== they're now listing them as 3.5m.

Very good finishing, spacious rooms, women will love the Kitchen. Slight issue to mention, the toilet shown on the website is the only one in the whole appartment and its just adjacent to the only bathroom (not shown, separate) room.

I noted as they also serve guests, these two private rooms are next to the sitting room. Meaning if you had guests, it might be a tad tricky to exit from the shower to any bedroom. But should be okay for singles...

Guys wake up and smell the coffee..this hses are so overvalued.
I'd choose building my own! plots are readily available in this area and with very affordable prices...

With the deposit of 600k you get 50 x 100 plot in SOYKIMAU with title deed!!!
With 300k you get 50 x 100 plot in Katani/ mlolongo/utawala!!

Note: viewing of these plots is free every day from 10.00am.

Good deals. Contact me for details jmonyoncho@gmail.com
