Why Your Property Isn’t Attracting Serious Buyers

You have a beautiful property in a great location, but months have passed and it is still sitting empty on listing sites. If your property isn’t attracting serious buyers or tenants, the problem usually boils down to pricing and presentation. The Nigerian real estate market is highly competitive. If your house is priced identically to a newly built, modern home down the street, but yours hasn’t been updated in five years, buyers will simply walk away. Furthermore, dark or blurry photos will kill your online listing before anyone even reads the description. Investing in a fresh coat of paint, hiring a professional photographer, and aligning your price with current market realities will drastically speed up your closing time.

Beyond the Rent: The Hidden Fees Every Tenant Should Know

When hunting for a new apartment in Nigeria, the asking price is rarely the final amount you will pay. Many first-time renters are caught off guard by the sheer number of additional charges attached to securing a property. Beyond the basic rent, you need to budget for the holy trinity of extra costs: Agency, Agreement, and Caution fees. Agency fees typically take 10% of your rent, compensating the realtor for closing the deal. The Agreement or Legal fee, another 5% to 10%, goes toward drafting your tenancy contract. Finally, the Caution fee acts as a refundable security deposit for potential damages. To avoid nasty surprises, always ask your agent to list every single fee upfront before you commit to a property.
