I had a terrible very terrible experience buying a piece of land in Umuahia last year. I am yet to recover from that not-so-good experience. Thoughts of getting a property now is so not in my list. Thank you all the same.

Care to share the experience? someone could learn something from it, thank you.

Ewo! Sorry o. We live to learn.

Toshmann having a room in a " lekwa ntu" house is not equal to owning a property. Don't derail this thread with your akwuna tendencies Biko and leave Coco alone.

Which one is lekwa ntu house?

I'm in on this, and will be here every now and then for updates....

This is a lovely initiative. However, Enugu is my focus. Don't want to spread myself too thin.

Nice One !!! We are waiting !!!

Spydoo ndewoo, are you going to build and sale or just share the plots and sale while interested buyers build them selves.

Spydoo ndewoo, are you going to build and sale or just share the plots and sale while interested buyers build them selves.

The problem with build and sell is that you never know what the prospective buyer has in mind, so they may not bid so high in comparison to what you spent building for them. Most times they may require additional modifications to either the structure, or the finishing style.

Secondly, the speed with which newer styles are introduced into the building industry might make a particular building hard to sell, especially if you just completed a house before the new method hits the market. Think of those that their houses sold slowly, and they didn't use parapet designs or stone coated roofing, this might affect the chances of sales and make the building hard to sell.

My plan here is to prepare the lands and sell them, but I am very mindful of the type of people I am trying to sell to, people with like minds, people who will appreciate serenity and tranquility, and so all my efforts are geared towards creating an environment they will be so comfortable with that they will build the types of mansions better than the ones at World Bank housing estate, Owerri. This is what will raise, and continue to sustain the value of this estate.

My surveyor will visit this land today, lets move round the environment and see more of this land.

Circling the land with some of the owners, and identifying live trees planted in the olden days to mark boundaries.

The whole rains that fell on Owerri yesterday and today, fell on us while inside this bush, we are looking at more options, better locations, Irete, even down to Okuku, which is a neighboring town to Umuguma! This is getting better.......

So I pulled out all my men, called out everyone who should know where boundaries start and stop, chartered all bikes and tricycles necessary, called in people of neighboring towns whom I can ask of the history of the area, I just need to be thorough, very very thorough.

My surveyors are also here to measure the lands and get accurate sizes.

Pictures of our searches..... the hustle is real....

A helicopter view of the whole area I have been describing.....

I nave been working with my surveyor to complete the map of this area, this land is about 5.7 hectares big. I will be working out the details for cost and other conditions, reserve your money because this place will be great in the coming few months.

I have got a lot of callers asking me what the likely price for this land will be, please be patient as I set the ball rolling. Thank you all.

This is what we have come up with, a sketch of the land we are going to pay for at Okuku, near Umuguma Owerri West local government area.

We will most likely be selling this lands in square metres. Don't go looking for bigger plots because you will pay for every meter

What about the Irete lands? Felt you were working on securing that part? It's location looked better than Okuku...at least on paper.

good one...... @whirlwind.. i prefer okuku over irete because of access to ph road and onitsha road....... already have one plot in okuku, amapu to be precise...
waiting for spyder price to see if I can add another plot in okuku

Great, I was about to ask! That's a better way of pricing, so it's cost/sqft.

I started this search in Irete, and was with them for two days, my major problem in Irete was that I could not get a safe land with the size I had in mind, so I continued to search. When they took me to Okuku, I was very impressed. I kept them there, took a bike ride to Umuguma and Owerri and back, then I concluded that Okuku will develop before Irete.

Okuku is a stone throw away from Umuguma, which is the local government H/Q for Owerri west LGA. Okuku is also closer to World bank housing estates, which is by far the most decent part of Owerri, many big buildings are coming up at Umuguma axis, and if we position ourselves in Okuku, we will be inside Owerri city before you could say Jack Robinson!!!

All we need is Rochas to do a single stretch of road from Umuguma to Okuku and we are good to go. Land cost at Umuguma is an average of N4m as at today, While we can get lands in Okuku for far cheaper than this. Let us go for Okuku my people!

My preliminary calculations show that a square meter of land here will cost about N1,650.00 each.

This will mean that you will multiply N1650 x the plot size you have in mind to determine what the price per plot is.

This price covers everything like.

1. Cost of your plot
2. Your title deeds, on your own name (prepared by a lawyer)
3. Your survey plans, on your own name (prepared by a registered surveyor)
4. Cost of building a perimeter fence around the land and a gate with estate office/security office
5. Cost of getting the completed documents to your doorstep, anywhere in Nigeria.
6. Cost of planting royal palm trees along all the roads and all around this planned estate.
7. Cost of bulldozing this land to create all roads as planned in the layout.

More comments are welcome.

What's the standard size of a plot and how do I calculate it using per sq m?

Can someone buy and leave the land until there is money to build what one wants ?
