The new way to milk Kenyan house buyers - Service Charge. Someone sells you houses and continues charging you Service Charge ad infinitum!!! You have no say on what, who, and how services are offered!
Ideally, a residents committee should run the estate's/courts affairs. Hii maneno ya the vendor charging 400 houses 20,000/= which equals 8,000,000/= monthly ya watchmen, swimming pool maintenance and cutting grass is pure thuggery!!!
The kind of contracts Kenyans are signing are crazy! Can you imagine some one giving an x years lease to an apartment you just bought??? Others leave space that they even manicure and you imagine it will be a play ground for your kids cum residents park only for the vendor to come back and erect more apartments on the space and you soon notice there is nothing you can do as per your contract!!!
Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.
