These include the size and complexity of the development project, the number of legal agreements required (e.g., sale agreements, loan agreements, construction contracts), the extent of due diligence needed, and the level of engagement with regulatory bodies like the Nairobi City County. Property disputes or litigation can also significantly impact costs. At Mwenda Njagi & Co.
