What to check before you buy in Kilimani

Confirm the developer's approvals, and for off-plan units, ask how your deposit is protected and what happens if the project is delayed.
Ask for the block's service charge history and who manages the building.
Check what's planned next door: new towers can change your light, view and access.
Confirm the water supply and parking allocation in writing.
