Nairaland property experts,

I need your urgent advice pls. I live abroad but I have sent my friend to go check this estate ppty out. I have a feeling it is authentic but I saw water on some pictures of the plot that he took (on 1st June). Does anyone here know this place? Is it a place that requires heavy sand-filling before one can build? Does this soil require special foundation like raft/pile?.

Website of property company is: http://www.forthrightpropertiesltd.net/.

Urgent answer will be very, very appreciated.

I know the place and it is presently inhabited though sparsely. You need to be mobile to live there as it is a long trek from the road. It is a reclaimed area and will require sand filling. I didn't go deep inside to know if they sand filled all the plots for the potential buyers or they just sell the land and buyer sandfills. I can confirm that it is a soil/land that will require special foundation. cheers. hope this helps.

@Marjo, thanks for your response. It sure has assisted me in my decision making.

Does anyone also have some first hand knowledge of the place. Is it somewhere that one can live in like a year from now,I mean will it be safe enough to live in considering the fact that it's sparsely habited right now?
Thanks.

Taliban, I think one can live there in a year from now. I checked the "Gallery" on their website and there are a lot of building constructions going on. I am not home now but I will check the place unfailingly when I come around in few months.

@ Sehawale, thanks for your comments. I also think the upcoming road reconstruction of the lagos ibadan expressway will further open up places like forthright estate and also make it more accessible.

You may want to explore our budding estate. Grace park, just by the NNPC filling station, close to the Express Road. The area is sparsely inhabited, true. But with plans for massive building development on the estate by our firm and the expansion of the Lagos/Ibadan Express Rd within a year, you'd be glad you have this property
