    Some houses for are unreasonably expensive and one may not be able to ascertain quality of materials and standards applied on the houses esp in a culture of corporate fraud and exploitation

    I agree, it’s best you just build slowly but debt free! In 3 years you would be far and almost finishing! It just needs commitment because it’s a capital intensive venture.

    Good discussion. However, i dont think building is necessarily cheaper than buying. This argument holds only when you dont factor in other considerations such as the opportunity cost of time for supervision, the quality and the fact that building companies enjoy economies of scales and they also have appropriate technologies.

    Informative interaction. But , suppose , when I opt for off plan based on progress, where is my financial safe guard where the progress falls behind agreed completion time line? My money could tied in frustrating, totoise paced development.

    • @janejustin1788
      @janejustin1788 Рік тому

      also, what happens when the developer completes the houses but they don't look like what was promised? or the developer refuses to build the social amenities they had promised buyers. And such social amenities play a big role in determining the high price and prestige of a gated community

    Offplan is good and cheap. The problem is that Kenya is a corrupt country with no justice. Developers are corrupt and the government does nothing. And these corrupt developers are friends with big politicians so they're never jailed, they go on with their stealing

I’m surprised his answer wasn’t “some people say eating in restaurants is cheaper, some people say you save a whole lot more on making your food. Which is better?” Anyway, I hope I didn’t miss on anything interesting as that’s where I stopped the video

      Likewise, a person named 'Kumamoto', may sound derivatively Kenyan, but it's a Japanese person's name.
