More often than not many people who invest in real estate always go to their social media handles ranting about how their projects have been delayed.
For starters, most people actually even conclude that there could be a scheme to have their money lost through fictitious ways that end up as a puzzle for many to unravel.
However in reality this is always not the case.
Managing Director Wilstone homes Ejidio Kinyanjui says actually most of the delays are usually not man-made problems but issues to do with the administration by the authorities.
According to Kinyanjui, most of the delays to handover are usually occasioned by delays in approvals, weather or even failure by customers to pay.
” Most people actually blame us without proper knowledge. In some instances you find that as developers we have done our part and the delay is because of county government to approve our plans,” says Kinyanjui.
Kinyanjui says though there could be rogue companies, some delays to handover projects is because of issues beyond them.
“Sometimes you find customers have not paid. We are forced to dig deeper in our pockets,” he says.
Wilstone which is celebrating now celebrating 7 years since inception urges investors to sometimes take time before ranting saying that Real Estate is a collective industry where everyone is required to play their role.
Kinyanjui further urges the government to work together with developers saying they have done alot in ensuring that devolution works.
” Most of our projects have accessible roads. We go into areas which we develop completely. We should have a collaborative approach in handling these issues,” he says.
