Property Information Disclaimer

Prices and payment plans

A published price is useful for shortlisting, but the buyer should confirm what it includes. In Nairobi apartment projects, price may change by floor, view, unit size, parking, payment plan, launch phase, finishing level or remaining stock. For resale property, negotiation, condition and seller timeline may also affect the final position.

The buyer's next step should be to request current availability and ask whether the price is a starting figure, range, last confirmed figure or current quote for the exact property.

• Confirm the exact unit, floor, size, parking and price.
• Ask whether the payment plan affects the price or reservation terms.
• Check deposit, milestone, balance and completion-payment timing.
• Ask what is included: parking, storage, finishes, appliances or furnishing.

Availability, unit details and changes

Availability changes quickly in active projects and attractive resale listings. A property page may show useful context even when the exact unit has changed. That is why buyers should ask for current options before making a decision.

If the original unit is no longer available, the next useful step is to compare similar units by price, floor, size, orientation, payment plan and expected handover.

Photos, renders, floor plans and sizes

Images help a buyer understand the opportunity, but they need context. A photo may show a show house, previous phase, similar unit, furnished example, construction update or general project view. A render may show the intended design before final finishes are complete.

Floor areas and layouts should be checked against the latest documents. Buyers should also ask how balconies, parking, storage, common areas and measured space are treated where it affects the decision.

• Ask whether photos show the exact unit, a sample unit or a project render.
• Request a viewing or video walkthrough where practical.
• Compare floor plans with the draft agreement or project documents.
• Confirm parking allocation, storage and amenity access before relying on the listing.

Service charge, completion and handover details

Service charge can change the true cost of ownership, especially in apartment buildings with lifts, pools, gyms, generators, boreholes, security and shared amenities. Buyers should ask for the current estimate and what it covers.

For off-plan projects, completion dates and handover assumptions should be treated as points to confirm. The buyer should ask about construction stage, delay terms, snagging process, handover condition and what documents are expected before completion.

How to use property information well

The best use of property information is disciplined action. If a property fits your area, budget and use case, request current availability, ask for the payment plan, compare similar options and request documents before moving toward payment.

That approach keeps the search moving while giving the buyer enough clarity to avoid paying based on outdated or incomplete details.
