State all your hidden charge , survey, development levy and other, also can one bring his/her surveyor? Can my engineer but for me?

bixton:

Just tell your tiler to do a step up around that front entrance before tiling.

abdulwastecx:


There is no standard but I normally use 5mm thick glass

EgunMogaji:



I’ve heard that these are not your full prices.

Why do you omit the full prices that include surveys, etc

This is borderline false advertisement.

Ultimate Egun:

Can you shed more light on this Ibeju Lekki land offers?

Someone somewhere mentioned extra N1m hidden fees.

Some things are not adding up.

Attached is what I found previously.

Their land is N1,000,000 and their fees are N1,200,000 additionally for bungalow, making N2,200,000

InvertedHammer:


Thanks.

When the hidden fees are more than the price, it becomes a scam.

Hopefully, they tell buyers upfront and not after committing funds.

It may seem that Nigeria is tilting towards "concealed carry" in all real estate negotiations.

But they’ve always carried concealed in Nigeria.

Onde, bante, ifunpa, etc

Where are the up and coming areas now in Lagos that one can buy land that will appreciate significantly in the next few years?

segzy14:



Epe is a good place to buy land that will appreciate, lands being sold for 500k as at last year has increased.
The governor is seriously working on the roads and infrastructure.

EgunMogaji:


Do you have a link to a trusted developer that you are aware of?

Thanks.

segzy14:


I have two plots at epe that I bought at 500k each last year though cost has increased this year and I am planning to get more plots for some interested nairalanders there ,so that we have "Nairalanders Estate".
What do you guys think?

EgunMogaji:


The devil is in the detail Sir.

segzy14:



I don't get this part sir.

EgunMogaji:


Oh, I just meant that maybe you can consider doing like Oga Spyder880 and give all the details like he does. If you care.

Thanks.

segzy14:
@egunmogaji, I am seriously against the hidden charges by adron homes , I will give every details here for interested members.
Thanks.

This reminds me of what happened to me last year, I paid for a land in lagos, it cost 4.5million Naira , I asked them, hope there will be no hidden fees, they said No, to cut a long story short, after payment via my family member since I was not in Nigeria, the crackheads called my contact person in Nigeria that I have to pay extra 1, 700,000quid before allocation papers will be issued to me, l was furious, I wrote to the Special assistant to the Governor, with a detailed explanation of what happened, my letter caused a big problem in the organization because the Special assistant to the governor was angry at the way l was treated, l asked for a full refund or else I will fúçk all of them in different social media, the marketing department called me from Nigeria t to plead with me, l got my full refund back, I would have posted all the details here especially the conversation between me and the special adviser but some of the estate agents and managers are on Nairaland and I don't want to go beyond this based on the agreement l had with them before I got my refund , before you buy any land in all this estate, investigate properly and ask questions because many of them are dodgy and full of balonies

How I wish every case of land scam is giving quick action like your, there will be no land scammers in name of real estate developer business in lagos. Many of them knew well how to lure mostly on informed buyers, to buy in to there paper plan estates. Imagine tricking one into buying an estate of 400 houses with false information that over 75% of the land as being sold, meanwhile in reality one could be the first 5 people that just bought in the estate. With tricks like these, one will be waiting for 5, 7 even 10 years for the estate to develop or end up in litigation that will take for ever or just give up your hard earn money. In another way, the company may disappear case closed. Si ke na owo wo igbo

This is the true picture of estates; not so much as the hidden charges but the long term viability of the vending company. With true diligence probe, most of these estate schemes will take 10 to 15 years to come to fruition and given the whimsical nature of Nigerian businesses: here today, gone tomorrow; most people will never get allocated before the company go burst which encourages the owner communities to agitate for their land leading to court cases and messy situation for those who paid into the scheme. The golden rule is if the scheme is not OFFICIALLY backed by a bank or finance company; think twice. If you must promote a scheme running into billions of Naira, you MUST have your finance in place before hand and not from piecemeal selling of allocations and these "allocations" are in the air. What if there are limited takers or subscribers what next? Those who rushed to pay first will suffer.

So the first thing to investigate is to find out if the vendors have their finances in place and how credible are the vendors legal representation/chambers. If you must sell parcels of land somethings in the 5 million region; it is not unreasonable to ask for your legal team and your finances.
