Now I am curious. What's wrong with Suraya? I have never dealt with them but for some reason I always believed there are among the "good guys" out there - may be it is because I always get to see their completed projects. But you guys definitely know something I don't know.
In the spirit of wazua, can you guys share...
They take ages and ages with their projects. E.g. the Sucasa project in Mlolongo was to be complete in December 2012. Let's just say no one lives or can live there yet.
I think they sort of bite off more than they can chew.
Wow!!! That's serious!!! Almost 4 years behind schedule! And do people only pay the deposit (what percentage?) or they keep adding money on a given schedule? I can only imagine someone who would have totally stretched himself financially because he knew from December 2012 he would not be paying rent!
They give you both options. You can either pay a 20% deposit and then a mortgage, which starts on completion of the house, or you do a cash plan. 30% and then 20%, 20%, 20% each quarter, and then 10% on completion or some other permutation. The mortgage option is more costly.
For Sucasa the bedsitters were 900k or 950k in the beginning for cash, and 1.05M for mortgage buyers. But with time the mortgage buyers price went to 1.35M.
When you live for others' opinions, you are dead.
