I have desired to buy an apartment to live in nearer my workplace in Westlands but held back over several unanswered questions. First, I have colleagues who bought apartments in Kilimani, Lavington and Kileleshwa but have no documents to prove legal ownership.
None of them has a title deed and, therefore, cannot use their apartments as security for loans. There are also reported cases of buying a unit in a modern highrise building (from the outside) but reality sinks a few months after moving in when cracks start emerging from the walls over poor workmanship. There are also sad real-life experiences of Nairobians who bought apartments off plan, which were never constructed!
