I am about buying a House in the new Housing Estate in Calabar through a 25 year Mortgage provided by Intercontinental Bank.

londoncool,what was the interest rate from intercontinental bank?

would love to hear ur reply, londoncool

Londoncool, details please. Where is the new housing estate in Calabar? I know one very close to Marian Road in Calabar. My cousins lived there.

The location of the Housing Estate is at Ikot Offiong Ambai in Akpabuyo just after the Atimbo Bridge (a 6 minute drive from the Calabar Airport) , its surrounded by the Police College and the Nigerian Navy Secondary school. Donald Duke intends to make the area a sort of Greater Calabar extension, like Lekki

I paid 10% deposit (N260K) for a 2 bedroom semi-detached house which costs N2.6million. I am taking out a Mortgage of N2,340,000, and would be paying around N17,000 or thereabout monthly. I am yet to exchange mortgage contracts with the Bank as it involves the NHF and other stakeholders.

17k a month amounts to a little over 200k a year. Multiply that with 20 years and you are paying more than 4 million Naira a year. That's quite steep, but most banks are all about making money. That is why, I wont criticize those whose income in the village can only net them a mud house. A man's house is his castle.

P/S: I dont know Akpabuyo, but if your house is on Atimbo lane, I know the place, because my cousins lived there at one point. Its very close to the airport.

Well,its a good deal for me. I intend to rent out the place which can fetch me around N180,000 per annum, so only N20K+ mortgage repayment will actually come from my pocket. Also, the the intrinsic and extrinsic value of the property will appreciate and the mortgage can be paid off early too. In anticipation of a boom in the area I have already acquired 3 plots of land in the same location which I intend to build my "Palace".

I dont know about Atimbo Lane, but Atimbo Bridge links Calabar and the Akpabuyo Housing Estate which is very very close to the Airport.

Wow thats a good deal.

200k a year multiplied by 20 years will equal around N4 million for the whole 20 years not for one year.

There was an advert campaign for people to purchase property in the new Housing Estate in Calabar under Guv Donald Duke's regime. Part of the package was allowing applicants to put down a 10% deposit and obtain a mortgage for the remainder. When I applied there were project managers who processed the Mortgage side when I got an allocation for a house.

The requirements were that you needed to have banked for 6 months minimum with the bank, saved at least N15k in an A/C (either savings or current); an NHF account number. Everything was backdated for me by 6 months by the staff and an NHF number was allocated to me to enable me to qualify for the mortgage since i'm based abroad.

londoncool,
i contacted Intercontinental Bank and the tenor is only 5 years for repayment which is a short time and i have to pay contribution of 30% of the cost of property,i dont know if any other bank can offer longer tenor and what is this  Guv Donald Duke's regime and do they offer mortgage outside calabar?if yes what's there contact address and you most have a good connection that helped in back dating everything thats good but anyway hope to hear from you soon.

The whole project was contracted to Project managers based in Lagos, I did everything in Lagos and by courier from UK. The mortgage company is called Jubilee Savings & Loans, they were to be bought over by Intercontinental bank so I was given both banks forms to complete. The Mortgage is provided by the NHF, it is left for the Banks to disburse it. I will give you the name and number of my contact who did everything for me.

I NEED A 3 BEDROOM APARTMENT IN LAGOS SURBURN PLEASE CAN YOU GIVE ME AN IDEAL OF WHAT IT TAKES TO RENT ONE.

I NEED A 3 BEDROOM APARTMENT IN LAGOS SURBURN PLEASE CAN YOU GIVE ME AN IDEAL OF WHAT IT TAKES TO RENT ONE.

Hi Santaa,

There are several stages to doing this - research -> Search -> Find -> Rent.

In the research phase you will find out what your budget can get you in any particular area, prices in Lagos vary from N200,000 to N10m (I know there are cheaper places!). You can start the research process by using www.google.com and search for - 'flats to rent in lagos nigeria'

-> Be very careful with agents, try and get as much information about them as possible, it is probably a good idea to use agents that have some sort of online presence, but do your research on agents.

On top of the quoted rental fee which you have to pay for 2 years, you would probably need to add another 20% on top of that. 10% agency fee + 10% agreement. Demand that you get an agreement as this has now turned into a way for people to make extra cash.

Alway remember 'Caveat Emptor' - buyer beware!

Good luck!

hi the site you gave is just one page that is globalands.com. Please verify!!!

@all : would appreciate infor on property in other cities other than lagos,abuja port harcounrt.
i have experienced exceptional capital appreciation in other places. I got a peice of alnd in outskirts of owerri town which i got just about 10 years ago but recently because of the new roads as the town as to expand and markets and with govt anouncing some developtments around the place , ji decided to know whats the worth if i was to sale now so word got out:negiotiation started at 1 mill but soemone is even begging for 1.5million .i got the piece for 50k then.
But remember it took 10 years to appreciate to that; thats why i would buy in those places now for price i can afford to put down and forget.
But with mortgage on board now its to look at investment props na the odo in the long run.
Please go appreciate infor updates
cheers
