spyder880: My experience a couple of years ago: #The professional Estate Valuers charged 2.5% #They valued the property and I agreed to sell at a certain amount (e.g N1,000) #However, there was a significant clause in the contract that said I (the seller) will only accept the maximum offer on the table. A couple of weeks later, the Valuers came with an offer of 1k BUT it was a company buying and there are insiders on the deal, so I will receive a cheque for 2k and I will make back a cheque for 1k to the valuer to give back to the company insiders. To me, this wasn't right. The contract says I will only accept the maximum offer on the table, so laundering 1k in the name of insider dealing is leaving money on the table and a situation I didn't want to be in. So I did not accept the offer and decommissioned the Estate Valuers. They tried convincing me that it is just padding, but I saw it differently. I saw it, that the property was deliberately undervalued by the Estate Valuers. The property was sold directly less than a year later for 3.2K. Moral of the story: @Egun watch out for fake and undervaluation of the property and be prepared for such shenanigans. Sign a contract with the realtor and be very specific about the offer (and nature of the offer) you will accept. Spyder is right. Selling a property in Nigeria is fraught with loads of shenanigns. There is the situation of overvaluation (unmanaged expectation by the seller) and fraudulent undervaluation by realtors. So watch out. 6 Likes |

spyder880:you're advise about Anambra land is comprehensive except the part you mentioned Oba. Please if you don't have what it takes, don't buy land from that town. They can sell one piece of land to three people and none of them have the original paperwork. Even when you get it, you then have to deal with different bodies claiming to be one thing or the other. The sad thing is that there's no one to complain to cause even their chief don die and they're dragging the throne. But if you have the balls to drag them to the mud 4 Likes |

michlins:@michilins what would the labour cost estimate be or is it inclusive in the estimate? |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by michlins(m): 2:19pm On May 14, 2021 |
DUNKA:I want to believe this quotation has labor cost included already. There are some materials that are over quoted already. You don't need three sheet of 18 guage, you don't need another 6 by 3 H channel after buying five lengths already. Two tins of paint is more than enough to paint the tank stand Personally I don't prepare my quotes like this. I just calculate the total cost materials with my labor cost included and tell my customer. These type of quotation gives rise to the person lying about the number of materials needed for the job. Although I loose jobs because of the way I prepare my quotes but it's better for me and it's quicker for the client 1 Like 1 Share |

EgunMogaji2: Everything is negotiable , most times it will also depend on the amount involved It will be difficult for me to pay 5 - 10% for any transaction , what I do all the time from the onset before you buy or sell for me is to agree terms / % with you before anything else , I don’t presume or negotiate after If we don’t agree we don’t roll .

Santinojr: I Don't reallt know much about properties in anambra but properties in lagos appreciate at a faster rate nowadays depending on some factors like Location of the land, your budget too determines the type of land you can purchase, there are different titles on landed properties in Nigeria but I'll always advice to go for properties with C of O, then make sure you buying from a recognised and registered Real estate company not from omo oniles and people claiming they are family members to the owner etc.... You can get Long term projected properties in Lekki, magodo, (select areas in ibeju lekki) But like i said earlier your budget is also a big determining factor as it makes your search easier. Have your surveyor on stand by and also have your lawyer scrutinise your documents and agreements, inspect The properties yourself and not by proxy if you within the state where you intend to purchase,Cheers. |

Greeting folks and hope everyone is keeping well this period? Please I need some advise for my ongoing project in Benin City. It's a 2flat house/3 bedrooms ensuite each. I have recently completed the lintel and considering next for the parapet, roofing woodworks, and roofing itself. Any advise as to the current market price for materials for those will be greatly appreciated, quotations are equally welcomed but remember the work is in Benin. The woodworks will be 18feets, Steptiles roofing sheets (cost for the varieties), cost for the varieties of parapet, labour, duration. Thanks 1 Like 1 Share |

Adeoba10: it's Possible, but it's not advisable.... Hanging wallpaper behind/within cooking areas increases the possibility of stains from cooking spatters and other damage. Moisture around sinks can cause the paper to come loose. You can't clean wallpaper with water as you would with tiles Wallpaper Maintenance in the Kitchen is Very Difficult - 6 Likes 1 Share |

sinorte: Please I need help! We are at a DIY stage of this project. What are the materials really required for the production of interlocking stones? I understand stone dust is better, and that's what we planned to use if not for cost. But can I really use sharp sand as substitute, just as the artisan suggested? He's also positing that granite will form part of the mixture (when sand is used) to produce the stones. What granite size do you think is ideal? Please help me with these information. Na beg I dey. |
