Baba, you still dey find confirmation??
Well, the "confirmation" I can give you is that if you don't buy that material today, by tomorrow the price will increase further.

Hello house please would you advise me to build a shopping complex or flats to rent with considration of income strain.
personally, I will prefer business area because you can be owed house rent but never shop rent.


This is my personal opinion and nothing professional about it. The likes of Spyder880 will know better

that's why I think plaza is a better deal and you don't have to worry about maintenance such as repainting and repairs when a tenant leaves

Happy new year to the house!!

I decided to suspend my 3bedroom(I earlier brought the plan here for criticisms) and start with the 2bedroom bungalow/1bedroom BQ, attached is the floor plan and the type of roof I plan to do.

The ground is a solid one and since I dont intend to do a high pitched roof or parapet, do I need to introduce pillars?

Any criticism of the floor plan

mirror the 2 bedroom side so that the living room and dinning swaps with the bedrooms, thereby achieving cross ventilation in the bedrooms. repeat same for the 1 bedroom side and you are good to go. if you can send me the CAD file, I can help you modify it

the whole thing is funny that if you're confirming price, they will tell you to be quick about it that nothing is guaranteed. There's expected price increase by Monday set according to the sellers

Please i need input on this issue . I hv 2plots of land at Orike Eleko bought 5yrs ago. I was given receipt and deed of assignment by the sellers.
Now the surrounding area of the land is being marketed and acquired by Estate owners who are advertising with Governors consent as title .

I called the company that sold to me and i was told i need to process"Deed of Rectification "with Lagos state Government.

My question is , hows the process like ? What document should be expected to get ? What's required of me to tender at Lagos State office .
Kindly explain more to me for better understanding .
Thanks

Hello house pls what is a reasonable amount to pay a carpenter for the construction of a parapet on a 3bedroom flat spanning 32ft by 55ft? Am being charged 120k for workmanship alone for the carpentry work.

It is becoming increasingly likely with the daft government we have now. The inflation rate in Nigeria tops the chat among the African economies according to Channels news this afternoon. I wonder what will happen when oil becomes less important.

We have to be productive and export-oriented or else.....

When scarce resources that should be used to further diversify is used to search for oil up north.
It's really a cause for serious concern. We are even told prices would still further increase.

To guide your negotiation, I paid 75k for the flat parapet in the pic below - a building measuring 57ft x 41ft, this includes workmanship and all materials provided by the carpenter.

pay before you drink before person go drag you oh.

Oga Spyder suggested buying materials when you have the cash because according to him, the price will keep increasing. Obviously he knows more than many us.


Let me give you an idea why I'm angry. December 12 or thereabouts, there's this material I paid 23,000 for and gave a client estimate with hope it will be around 25-27,000 only to be told it's 37,000. #12,000 difference and the sad thing is that very handful of delears have it as many are yet to restock. There are fears that buying new goods will even come with its own price increase.

In which world can you anticipate #12,000 increase on a single good

Deed of Rectification?

I'm not sure that's what you need.

I'm really interested in your matter, to assist with clarification.

You only need Deed of Rectification if the survey plan of your predecessor in title is defective or does not properly align into the Vector Map at the office of Surveyor General of Lagos State.

If someone else possesses a better title than what was given to you and that someone else did not sell to you, then something is wrong.

This is where I like to show my professional competency in delving into Legal title ownership in Nigeria.

Does the deed of assignment given to you show that the vendor has a registered title or the seller has the legal right to sell?

Now you tell me, how can business owners be productive in such environment with near hyperinflation?

I've always argued that the inability of the CBN to hold the Naira stable is fueling inflation and the resultant inflation is distorting not only social contracts but business contracts as well.

It is not war that will break us up as a country but an ineffective CBN with regards to the exchange rate. We can't sustain long term an exchange rate of the dollar to Naira above N400 parallel market or CBN rate. Inflation in Nigeria is a ticking time bomb.

Thanks, can the cross ventilation be implemented now without changing much of the plans.

As for pillars, Its a common thing amongst layfolks not to use pillars for bungalow, I am more concerned with with future maintenance, currently have an old family house, we couldn't change from louvers to Sliding glass due the absence of lintel over that point. Please if I am to introduce pillars, can you mark out where they should be? what size of rods should I be looking at?
