The Lilayi Project Developers have developed a reputation for high quality homes in properly planned and constructed communities. The flexible home designs, integrated development concept, multiple financing options, attention to quality and affordable pricing are what makes your home in Lilayi Estates such a compelling choice. 

The Lilayi detached, single-family homes are priced from K195 million to K285 million **.

By taking advantage of the purchasing power generated by building thousands of homes, and by mobilizing over $US60 million dollars in project finance,  the Developers and their contractors are able to offer each Lilayi Estate homebuyer  a brand new developed home in a newly built suburb of Lilayi at an affordable price.

All municipal facilities will be built by the developer including chlorinated water reticulation, all on & offsite sewerage facilities, all roads and storm water drains and the provision of overhead street lighting on major arterial roads.

Courteous, friendly and efficient customer service is another characteristic which makes buying a new home from the Lilayi team a smart decision. Our staff of professionals is dedicated to prompt, polite response to homebuyers' requirements and needs. This philosophy has resulted in a reputation that leads to significant repeat and referral business.

** All prices subject to change before final sales documents are signed. Once contracts are signed, prices are fixed

There are at least ten good reasons to “Buy in Lilayi”!

1. Your Lilayi Estate home is a good investment!! A Lilayi home is a quality home built to exacting standards, in a properly planned and professionally constructed development. Your home will represent an increasing store of value in years to come.
    

2. Your Lilayi Estate home is built to the highest quality standards by reputable contractors who stand behind their work! The Contractor is a joint venture between John Sisk & Son Africa and Velos construction and marries the best of international construction standards with the reputation and expertise of Zambia’s preeminent builder.

• Sisk Zambia is a subsidiary of John Sisk & Son Africa,  a subsidiary of John Sisk & Son, (www.sisk.co.uk) an ISO 9001:2000 Rated Contractor with wide experience in large scale housing development projects in Europe and in Africa.
   

• Velos Construction, has been one of Zambia’s leading property development and general contracting companies since 1975.
   

• Sisk Velos will build your house to ISO 9001:2000  standards and will warrantee your home against major defects. All Materials and suppliers used will be subject to rigorous testing and checking for quality workmanship.  This may make your house a little more expensive initially – but in the long run, it will be a great savings to you.
   

• Because our financing comes in large part from the United States and Dutch Governments, all homes built at Lilayi must meet quality and environmental standards as set down by them.  No more shoddy workmanship! No more poor construction!

3. Your Lilayi Estate home is easy to buy! Our three different purchase options - Cash, our own In-House Finance Scheme, or finance provided by your own lender – affords you maximum flexibility and our One Stop Shop personnel, including Lilayi sales executives, Commercial Bank representatives, legal conveyancers, and members of the Zambia Ministry of Lands staff, take the hassle out of your sale.  No running around, submitting plans, drawings, or waiting for title.

4. You have three separate floor plans and three different Lot sizes to choose from! Your houses are designed to grow! View details of each floor plan and an artist’s view of each house on this web-site by clicking  on this link.  We know that you might want to extend your house. Therefore every house at Lilayi is designed and located on its stand so as to maximize that opportunity. Our sales staff will be happy to share some expansion ideas with you.
    

5. Your Lilayi Estate home is in a great location!  The Lilayi Estate is close to Lusaka – yet far enough away to leave the hustle and bustle of the city far behind. The Developers are negotiating with the city of Lusaka and the relevant national and local authorities about upgrading direct road access and establishing commuter light rail access from the rail line immediately adjacent to the site – either way – Lusaka is minutes away!
    

6. There are great planned community facilities in your Lilayi Estate home! Our estate plan includes provisions for primary and secondary schools, shops, petrol stations, clinics, crèches churches and recreational areas.  The developers are already negotiating with regional and local interested tenants who wish to take up space at Lilayi.
    

7. You will have a say in running your community!

Your are immediately insured under our In-House Finance Scheme for homeowners and life insurance!; no application, no tests, no waiting, Your group insurance is offered by Madison Insurance (www.madisonzambia.com) , Zambia’s premier insurance company, and one of the Lilayi Development partners.
    

9. We do not use your money before delivering you your stand or building your house! Your money is yours.  Period! Unlike some developers in Zambia and in the region – we do not use your money to develop our property.  That is why we have raised over $US 60 million dollars from the likes of The Overseas Private Investment Corporation (an agency of the  United States Government),  Nederlandse Financierings-Maatschappij Voor Ontwikkelingslanden, N.V. (”FMO”), and The Standard Bank of South Africa.  We do require, however, that you show commitment by depositing money in your own bank account at Stanbic Bank (Zambia) Ltd.  Only when we transfer the title to you, and enter into a corresponding Development Agreement, do we conclude the sale, and receive payment for the land.  The independent conveyancing attorney holds any balance of funds payable in terms of the Development Agreement, and only pays us on a phased basis as the house is constructed.
