No offense but nothing you've posted means a thing to me. The thing is that our people like to brag a lot.

Do you belong to a professional organization? Do you have a list of satisfied clients?

Now I'm not saying you're not 100% legit but you need to work on credible proof points for potential clients.

Thank you lawyer for this article. I and some friends bought some plots of land in Mowe from Wisdom property for 500,000 each. Its been over 5 years now and nothing has been received. The last I heard they are requesting 1.2M for development fee. They got to be kidding me right!!! I wouldn't spend another kobo on them. The govt land is not too different either. People who subscribed to govt schemes in ikorodu and ijanikin are yet to see their land despite paying the govt fully. We truly need a change!! Everything stinks when its comes to land in Nigeria. The lasg has not fully performed their responsibilities to those citizens who were allocated land since 2010, yet they are coming out with new schemes. What they have done is making those in the land bureau stupendous rich by allocating these lands meant for the citizens to their cronies for resale.

Wow! Thanks for the link.
I read up from page 1 till the end.
With the rules and regulations, connection fees, service charges and all, I can clearly see that it won't work for me. How can I supposedly buy a home, and yet I will be paying pseudo-rent for life, with no right to make simple decisions
Their subtle strategy is to lure people with lower entry prices, then milk them for life!

It seems I'll have to ditch this idea of living in these fancifully marketed estates, getting a land in a good place and gradually build up will make more sense, with the liberty to enjoy the property as mine too.

I was running from Omoniles and their owo foundation, owo decking, owo roofing and all that, but it seems to be cheaper still, compared to these hidden charges from the estate developers. At least once the building is up, you are home and dry from the exploitations.

Let us do the maths properly so that we are comparing apples with apples.

On your Own (assuming all things being equal and normal usage;
1. Electricity bill in EKEDC
2. Maintaining generator
3. Fuel (diesel and petrol)
4. Paying a security man
5. Buying water (including Water Corp)
6. Security dues (gate fees, OPC)
Any other that i didn't mention.

Compare that with the cost of estate dues and 24 hrs electricity and not having to do any of the above. Remember EKEDC bills are really high. That is when you can know if the cost is worth it.

Using my current residence as a guide,
I pay less than 40k/annum for all utilities- water, security, Lawma et al.

40k for utilities a year? Wow. I am interested o. What part of Lekki is this?

cecegorz:


Nah. That's mainland.

Ah. Okay. Get ready for the culture shock. EKEDC bill will collect all of that in less than 2 months. Good you are using prepaid meter but if it is an IKEDC one, you will have to purchase another meter.

That your 40k will be less than what you will spend per month on services. I believe in estates cos i feel it can reduce costs without putting the physical stress on you but those rules and regulations are utterly crazy.

Guys, to add to all being said, becareful with deed of Lease instead of deed of Assignment, they knows what they are doing deed of lease, you never buy land.

lancee:

Almost got into one few years ago , now imagine if u don't live in the country and u have paid , to get that money back u go suffer ehnhhn
I won't mention the name of the real estate company , it was latter I found out that they collect money from buyers and build for the another buyers that had deposited with them months/ years before you , so you will have to wait and pray for some to pay them before they can start yours .. and you will latter start seeing hidden fees coming up and low standard houses
