You Think Its Easy to Live in Lagos, Read my House Hunt Experience story

Mid April, my rent expired and I had three weeks to move out of my apartment. I had so much confidence to get an apartment in two weeks to move into. Little did I know I was being set up for a battle between the body, soul and spirit.

I did make a few calls in about three days to my friends and family members. This calls yielded little or nothing support as regards my assignment.

The only fruit it yielded was a 3 million p.a apartment in the innermost part of Lekki. As glad as I was about this fruit, tge distance from the Lekki phase 1 gate to my supposed new place of abode is not different from the distance between heaven and hell.

With all sense of modesty, I declined staying here. I finally settled to use a house agent which seems to be an advise a female friend gave me from work.

After contacting 10 of them via phone and paying them 5,000 each, one week and 2 days has past and I still do not have a place yet!

I, in my naivety assumed that I woukd get an apartment after paying that money. I did not know like doctors, it was just for consultancy. I kept faith in God, having had the Christian background.

It was now two weeks past and on Sunday of the last week of my relocation notice. I finally got calls from 3 of my agents who showed me 5 different places (2 in Ikoyi, 1 in Festac and 2 in Lekki). Let me say at this point thay I was open to any location.

I wanted to move from a low brow are to a high brow are and these three were well suited. I could have accepted any of them! Yes, I should. But, I did not.

I slept after these calls and had a dream about me not progressing in these houses if I lived in them. On waking up, i could do nothing other than cancel the offers.

At this point, 3 of the turned up agents declined further service. They insisted I pay another N5,000 for consultancy. Iwas grieved at this point!

I have just few days left of the three weeks notice, precisely two days. I am now desperate and began to search online. My first stop was a website that offered such services, tolet.com.ng (apologies for mentioning your name if you ever read this). My experience was short lived as I started putting down this thoughts.

I have 48 hours to go and I have 2 useful agents and this website to deal with.

Getting accommodation in Lagos is no doubt a task for the faint hearted.

I'm sorry to say this
You're naturally foolish.

I don't live in Nigeria but i can get about 30 affordable houses for rent in Lagos, i don't think you seriously need a house to rent.

You have multiple and numerous houses to choose but you had a dream that you won't progress (do well) if you live in any of those houses.

First of all, you need to grow up because you still think that juju or curse or evil spirit do exist

This is what i call "African mentality

Tell an Igbo man that you buried 6 people in the house, he will still rent it and convert it to a shop and still be making millions of naira every month

greggng:


Just now I ve made some findings within gemade and other decent estate in gowon here. The price for 2bedroom now is 400k to 450k whiles 3bedroom is 600k. Outside all this area it might be cheaper. Everything is going up here. Every other person interested in this area should bear in mind this latest info

GogetterMD:

Whao. That's a bit on the high side. Might have to settle for Akowonjo axis then

greggng:


I was not surprise cos the room and parlour I live in is 250k per annum. Cos of the tight security, access road, nearby market, constant power supply and easy access to ikeja and etc. I ve lived here for 5years I don't regret anything here

GogetterMD:

I currently stay in a gated street you could confuse for an estate, in Akowonjo, for 350k.

greggng:


Better stay there if is safe. Here u must pay for security of 2k every month

GogetterMD:

We also pay 2k monthly for security fees. I just want a neater house, more central

lilwheezy1:
you have not seen anything yet , come and search for house in Ibadan , i guaranty in 3 months you will not still be able to see an apartment that suits what you want , the agents will knowingly be taking to an apartment even their enemies cannot stay so you will keep paying them

Hunting for an apartment is not an easy thing and also your budget matters too.

greggng:


A decent 2bed from 350k to 4ook per annum

mojounited:
