Hello,
I've been reading Nigerian property advertisements where prices like "450k per plot" are quoted.
How large is a plot of land in square meters? How does a plot compare to an acre?
Thanks.

A plot is an arbitrary term used to describe the division made in a particular area by the developers or government. Initially plots were approximately 1000sqm but as prices for land has gone up you get the same quote per plot but this can be 400sqm or less. The first question to ask the agent or developer is 'What is the size of the plot'.

It depends on the location. For Lagos, a standard plot is 60ft by 120 ft while Ibadan is 50ft by 100ft.
I suggest that you find out from the vendor before comitting yourself.

thanks for starting this seun, i need this too.
@ akara and romeo: this is quite confusing, is it 60 x 100 or 50 x 100?
and is the unit metre or feet?
@netzymes- i think i understand what u mean by "arbitrary". is there a more generally accepted measure of a
plot and then how is that different from an acre.
thanks again.

Acre: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AcreConcerning the size of a plot: It depends on the location. For Lagos, a standard plot is 60ft by 120 ft while Ibadan is 50ft by 100ft. A plot can be 50 x 100 sq m or in some cases 60 by 120 sq ms I'm confused. Is it square feet or square meters? |

seun, ayoolu says it is 60 FEET x 120 FEET in lagos and the other measure ( in FEET) for ibadan.
I guess it is in feet not metre then.

in Enugu it's 60x100 and in some case you get 2 in 1 for 100x100
square meters? the flat i live in here is 90 square meters

no problem when you have a resident Architect in Megapro. The Typical size of a plot is 100' x 100' which in metres is 30m x 30m = 900m2. 50' x 100 is the considered half a plot. (450m2) Ofcourse there are states that partition with 60' x 100, 60' x 120, 80' x 120 etc. Normally a corner piece gets more width. One should be carefull not to buy a slanted/ Inclined piece. The more square in shape, the better use. There are government gazzetes for certain areas so buy land only through a lawyer. A building that can fit into a 50' x 100' plot of land in Benin might not be allowed in say Delta or Lagos State because they need longer setbacks (6m) from the road. Lekki needs 9m!

now we are at least making sense. :)thanks a million megapro  . 100ft is about 30m so i kind of agree wit megapro in terms of units. in Enugu it's 60x100 and in some case you get 2 in 1 for 100x100
square meters? the flat i live in here is 90 square meters @romeo: are u sure the flat alone is 90 square metres? your flat is almosst the length of a 100m athletics field  p |

i wonder if you know the difference between square meters and meter?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Carlosein (m)

i jus realized what u mean (squared metres and metres) but still the unit for a plot of land is important and i ask: supposing it is 50mx100m is it not correct to say that the lenght of the plot will be 100m? sorry for the misunderstanding romeo. |

supposing it is 50mx100m 50m x 100m would be 5000 square meters, but a plot is 50-60 feet by 100-120 feet, not meters. |

ayoolu is very right. i think benin is also 50 by 100(ft).bt the standard is 18m by 36m.bt regulations accept minor differences like 17 by 36,18 by 35 etc.they aree minor differences

seun ,60ft by 120ft is the same thing as 18m by 36m.
conversion is ft multiplied by .30472 bt don't mind sharp accuracies in this metres and don't miss a well located land because of 1 or 2 meters
goodluck

A plot of land is normally 50ft x100ft (also known in the local sector as half plot) ; when the plot of land is 100ft x100ft it is known as a double plot.I know it sounds ambigous. My plot of land is 120ft x 140 ft and it is more thn a double-plot.

@londoncool it really is confusing but okay. @longest don't mind sharp accuracies in this metres and don't miss a well located land because of 1 or 2 meters i get your reasoning here. |

Hi everyone,
the measurement of a standard plot is 36.5m by 18m (109.5ft by 54ft) or 600sq m, becoz of the demand for land most land owners don't measure it correctly they mostly measure 33m by 16m (100ft by 50ft). so if u cud bargain well to get the correct measurement, good but if not don't let anyone measure less than 100ft by 50ft for u. If anyone does call EFCC. Best of luck.
N.B - Ten plots of land makes an acre.

If we consider a plot to be 50ft x 100ft, then 1 acre is a little over 8 plots (208.7ft x 208.7ft, or 43,560 square feet)

a standard plot size is 60*120, thats 7200metres square. moreover the location of a piece of land determines the value of the land.
