Home owners who have bought houses and land with one real estate company in Nairobi have a reason to smile after a firm gave them a grace period to repay their loans.

Many home owners across the country have been struggling to pay their mortgages and loans, with some defaulting on payments, due to the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic that has rendered many Kenyans jobless.

However, those who bought their dream houses with Lesedi Developers have been given more time to repay their loans.

4,000 Kenyans

“Lesedi Properties objective is to ensure many Kenyans own their homes and since the outbreak of Covid-19 last year, many Kenyans have been ravaged by the deadly disease and that is why we have given our clients more time to recover as they reorganise their financial status,” said Mr Geoffrey Kiragu, chief executive officer and founder of the city-based property firm.

He said since the company was formed four years ago, it has helped more than 4,000 Kenyans to own land and houses in Juja in Nairobi and Machakos.

The official announced that, in the next one year, the company plans to build nearly 300 houses in Nairobi in line with the government’s Big Four Agenda of providing Kenyans with affordable housing.

Mr Kiragu revealed that the company has launched nearly 40 projects and has issued more than 5,000 title deeds to land owners since inception.

Lesedi Developers is undertaking several real estate projects in Makongeni in Thika and is also eyeing Nakuru County.
