INVESTING INSIGHTS Ep 14: Can You Really Afford That Mortgage? Here's How to Know.
For many Ugandans, the traditional path to homeownership has been to save 100% of the money first and build gradually in phases. While this approach has worked for generations, today's fast-moving property market means land and construction costs continue to rise, making delayed decisions increasingly expensive.A mortgage is a long-term loan that allows you to purchase or build a home while repaying the cost over an agreed period, rather than waiting years to save the full amount upfront. In this episode of Property 360, Harold Muzira, Manager Informal Sector at Housing Finance Bank, breaks down the hard math behind mortgages, explains the impact of aggressive principal paydown, and highlights the crucial difference between what you qualify for and what you can genuinely afford before taking the next step toward homeownership.Catch us live on NBS Tv at 8:30 pm, every Wednesday.

INVESTING INSIGHTS: The maturity mismatch and the interest clock.
Why do so many real estate developers fail before they ever hand over a key? In this episode of Property 360°, we break down two silent killers of development projects in Uganda.A developer takes a commercial loan at 18-21% interest, and the bank's clock starts ticking immediately. But construction doesn't move that fast — weather delays, KCCA approvals, material price hikes, and supply chain bottlenecks can stretch a build to two years or more. That's 24 months of compounding interest with zero rental or sales income coming in. You're bleeding cash before you even have a product to sell. This is the maturity mismatch trap.There's also the presale illusion — developers who bank on off-plan buyers to fund the final stages of construction. When the market slows or confidence drops, those presales dry up fast. Contractors go unpaid, banks freeze funding, and the whole project grinds to a halt.If you're a developer, investor, or just curious how Uganda's real estate projects really collapse behind the scenes, this one's for you.
