But in the case above, I highly suspect the developer cut corners to put these apartments up for cheap. So, Shelter Afrique is fucked

so the home owners of the above apartments are secured? watarudishiwa all the payments they made or what im i missing ?

If they’d financed the purchase via bank and hadn’t finished paying, then they should get monies from the insurance. If they paid cash, they should chase the developer and hope the agreements they signed are binding. If not binding, they need to hire someone to go through the contract to find out where the developer erred and whether the home owners are protected by law. Btw, these guys should be suing for current market value of the units as well as lost future earnings(not just purchase price of units).

@jagger_snr

The only gap or crevice allowed in construction is the expansion/contraction gap and mostly it’s never left open…instead it should be filled up with materials such as silicon, stylofoam, polystyrene or others of this form.

Kweli.
Lakini hapo kwa stylofoam kuna crack kidogo…

I also never understand the stupidity of buying an apartment when the same money can be used to put up a bungalow with a big compound. Developers are certainly having a field day with such fools. The profit margin on apartments is normally more than 100% meaning that buyers pay more than twice the total cost of construction. Additionally, these “middle class” buyers are charged high service charges by the management companies. I would rather rent an apartment than buy, any day.

Many factors come into play before one makes such a decision. Just the other day we were told of a lady who ‘abandoned’ her home in Runda (?) in favor of an apartment in another part of town.

:D:D:D:D:D Why did you do that to a poor soul? Are there no other measures for recourse? Insurance then wait ([SIZE=1]nudge[/SIZE]) for it to collapse?

Hehe…in that vid, insurance says they cannot pay for poor workmanship.

Enyewe mi ni mshamba, unajua nmekua nkifikiria ati izo nyumba huwanga ni za kurent. Kumbe motherfuckers huwa wanabuy. Sasa mahali kama hapo watoto watacheza wapi? Then relas wakikam visiting?? Watu wenye wanabuy hao kama izo are the most visionless people in life. Kwanza ukibuy hiyo nyumba unapewa Title Deed ama nini? Na ni wasenge kama kina Deorro ndo wako na hii tabia. I’d rather cop me an acre then build a nice bungalow

1. If you already have a home it does not make sense to build a rental house on your own.
2. Land is very very expensive. It is silly to buy land to put up a bungalow for rental. Payback is worse than that of a flat.
3. There is benefit in shared ownership that is derived from a flat. Owning a detached unit comes with many unnecessary costs particularly for rental purposes.
4. If you have ever been conned it must have been in a detached piece of land.

Most people who seem to know too much have never bought a house. When their time comes they will understand. All over the world people buy prebuilt units. Don’t be a smart ass. Not everyone has the patience to save and build their own. This fascination with owning land is silly. Homes are not a factor of production, just a tool to massage traditional egos.

I will still not buy a house in a flat or an apartment even if it has thousands of advantages.In an apartment someone is living like a prisoner.
