We are not ready for this conversation.

This is the best thing now, but even landlords of old properties are either renovating and dividing it to get more flats. Or they increase their rents because they know the drill.

However, if one is lucky to see a decent old flat with enough parking space (very important), just take it and upgrade to your taste.

Our country is messed up bro... Only God will help us.

I am in Lagos and I am paying 650k for an apartment that does not worth the price

Everybody should just hustle and leave this country or just earn in dollar

All thanks to your yahoo Yahoo friends whom you admire and want to be like.

I rented an office but because I look young my landlord thought he has seen a yahooboy he can extort. Imagine after moving in the fool came telling me that the paint I met I will pay for it, I just told him " baba this little conversation is over and until my rent expires we have nothing to discuss ever again".

Badboibipo:
How can a person have over 300,000 Naira and still can’t afford any descent house? How did we get here?

The first time I moved out of my parents house In 2018 I literally rented a house for 40,000 naira a year, and it was a room self contain in delta.

Today there is no single room self contain below 200-250,000 naira, and that’s even the ones in rural areas, anyone in town is from 300k and above, and yes just a room !!! Wtf is happening?

I’m so worried about Nigerians, am I the only one facing these issues or is every one so rich they can easily pay 300k for a damm single room apartment

Grupo:


It has nothing to do with yahoo Boys.

You are just a lazy African who cannot think but chooses to blame easy targets.

SouthWestBlood:


They don't consider the side of the landlords. They talk as if they are not in Nigeria. Where dollar is now trading for N570.

As of 2016, I could remember cement was sold for N1300, clay filling sand for N18k. Now, cement is N4300, and clay filling sand for N40k.

Nezzjnr:
Lmao.... I've told myself that when I intend getting married... I'll just move to Redemption Camp .


Make i dey my Papa House 1st

ProfAmaben:


I bought cement for 4,800 in December, it has slightly dropped to 4,300. Roofing sheet was 19k per bundle last year, now 43k, sand was 25k, now 57k, 6" block for 100 naira now 215 in my area, etc. Make I come build finish rent am for 40k yearly? I dey fear you? , always remember that it takes 40 naira to lay a block presently.

mediainc:
UK and US rent is expensive too...

Afodot0022:
Even though for one thing am still grateful my father did was building a house in lagos, the benefit am enjoying now in lagos as i no dey pay rent. though my dad is late now but the man left a property for us which is what is helping me, despite the fact that am married, na still my papa house i dey live. If you like abuse me say i no get shame, na your wahala be that, na person wey go follow you suffer pay house rent bill you dey find. Gone are the days where people will be ashamed to live in family house, for this lagos, if you no plan your self well, na landlord you go dey work for. instead of paying crazing house rent in lagos, i better live in my papa house, save the money and start my own house project than giving one greedy lagos landlords.

bigcee:

And it's worth it. Not the dirty houses with exorbitant rent we have in Nigeria.

somehow:


But wait ọ.. Are we talking about newly built houses or old houses?

Did the landlords just built their houses this year?

pocohantas:


Never seen this happen. Usually they wait for you to leave before increasing the rent of your flat. Everything you put should be removable. I would never understand breaking ground to install tiles in another man’s house.




It only gets worse. By the time you add the cost of transporting agents and inspection fee, you’ll see you played yourself. Na to just manage the next moderate one they show you.

sukkot:
lmao as i am reading these comments e sure me say this country is divided into two halves. this is a true story if i lie make wetin i dey fin make i no see am. sometimes last year i met this dude in lekki phase 1. young guy, about 35 years old. went to his house. its 24 7 electriicity that is generated on site. i think there is a pool and a gym in the estate. its like a mini estate. the guy told me that his ANNUAL SERVICE CHARGE alone ( NOT RENT OOO ) for the apartment is 2.4 million naira a year. meanwhile i am reading people complaining about 200k rent. lmao. this country is divided

Fatbam003:
800k yet can't get a house . Hah

BluntTheApostle:


I was told that the Yahoo Yahoo boys are largely to blame. Although building materials are a factor. I understand as I am building my own house too.

But you see, some houses are overpriced because of these Yahoo guys.

Call an old bungalow 5 million naira, and these guys will pay. This has caused agents and landlords to become greedy.

Just as policemen want to exploit every successful young man (all thanks to the Yahoo Yahoo fad), it is the same with agents and landlords.

bigcee:

Let me start from you. Can you afford a house with 2.4mill annual service charge? (not rent oh)

i personally think its gross stupidity to pay that much just for service charge
