Zimbabwean journalist Hopewell Chin’ono has analysed the <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/2024/01/18/fbc-building-society-are-now-selling-townhouses-in-glen-lorne-harare-and-zvishavane/">FBC Building Society houses in Glen Lorne, Harare</a> and compared them to houses in South Africa. He concluded that the FBC deal was not a good one. FBC recently announced the sale of townhouses in Glen Lorne and Zvishavane. The Glen Lorne houses are situated in a gated complex and offer modern living with spacious bedrooms, an open-plan lounge and fitted kitchen, high-end finishes, a double carport, and access to a communal borehole.
According to FBC’s statement, the price for these townhouses is $375,000, including VAT. Interested buyers need to make a mortgage deposit of 25% and have a mortgage tenor of 7 years.

<a href="https://twitter.com/daddyhope/status/1747657726006628513">Chin’ono</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/daddyhope/status/1747657726006628513">criticised the deal</a>, stating that the mortgage interest rate offered by FBC is 17%, which would result in monthly payments of $6,000. He argued that paying a total of $597,750, including the deposit, for a 202-square-meter property doesn’t make economic sense. He compared the price to what one could buy in South Africa, where the same amount of money could purchase a mansion or multiple apartments.
Chin’ono warned about the potential for money laundering due to the high-interest rate and suggested that those considering the purchase should have a strategic financial mindset and a monthly income of over $20,000. He said:
<blockquote>
This is a 202 square meter property sitting on half an acre and selling for US$375,000 or R 7,125,000 in Harare’s Glen Lorne area after Chisipite. When someone sent this to me, I said I won’t comment about who owns the bank, but just on the deal on offer and what it means in value terms. This deal is a great pathway for money laundering because the mortgage interest rate being offered by FBC is 17% and you will be paying US$6,000 a month. Eventually, you pay US$504,000 or R9,576,000 plus the 25% deposit of US$93,750 or R1,781,250 making it a total of US$597,750 or R 11,357,250. You have to be high on first-grade cocaine to enter into such a deal, that is why I said that it is a great pathway for money launderers who buy cash to clean their money and not a doctor, lawyer, engineer, journalist or pilot who is buying it as their primary residence. It simply doesn’t make any economic sense…
I would never pay US$375,000 cash of my hard earned money for these town houses because in South Africa I would buy a mansion with side apartments for my African relatives when they visit or 8 3-bedroom apartments in Bryanston in Sandton. It is important for individuals to carefully consider all factors like the massive interest rate of 17% before entering into such significant financial commitments. You must have a strategic financial mindset and you must be earning more than US$20,000 plus a month to pay a mortgage of US$6000 a month after paying a down payment of US$93,750. The traditional rule in real estate is that you SHOULDN’T pay more than 28 percent of your monthly gross income to your mortgage payment.
</blockquote>
He also commented on the current state of corruption in Zimbabwe, stating that the exorbitant prices are a result of massive looting and disproportionate sharing of national wealth. Despite his criticism, Chin’ono acknowledged that personal choices in real estate investments vary based on individual circumstances and preferences.
