The property has not been left out and is slowly picking up.Wezesha Group is a platform that was only launched two months ago in Nairobi to cater for people interested in acquiring affordable land. The proprietors behind this concept use the USSD technology a Global System for Mobile (GSM) communication used to send text messages between a mobile phone and an application programme in a network to market and sell properties currently in Malindi and Embu counties.Imran Khan and Amran Damji are entrepreneurs whose concept involves combining selling plots to clients as well as providing them with an insurance cover. Weezesha has launched two products Wezesha Ploti and Wezesha Bima.“Each individual has a right to be a landowner and also has the right to quality insurance covers. This is what has brought us together to steer what we believe will be the forefront of innovative products,” says Khan. Wezesha strength is offering flexible payment modules.Payment rates are ranging from Sh800 for an eighth of an acre payable in weekly installments of Sh3,500 weekly dependent on the location and potential for commercial value. For instance, a quarter of an acre in Malindi goes for Sh1,500 a week.Once a buyer starts paying as a show of commitment, Wezesha facilitates a quick process of keeping track and sharing a paper trail. Once the entire amount is paid, a certified sale agreement is done and title deeds prepared.“People like to deal with individuals and this is expected considering that land is a sensitive asset,” he says. For Wezesha, the plan is to make it an alternative for the traditional hassle through credible transactions, which is fast and cheaper.
