Saving for a new apartment may be difficult at times as some people will have to go on hunger strike in order to achieve their aim, let’s take a look at six important steps you should take before signing the agreement papers.

1. Distance to workplace

This is the most important part of the deal, you ought to know how to manage your resources in your new home, bring out your phone and make use of the calculator app to know how much you will spend on transport from your house to your office on a monthly basis.

2. House rent

Can I afford it yearly? This is the question that should be raging in your head, I think you should give it a try if it’s what you’ve always been craving for, what I’m about to explain might be easy for salary earners because it’s easier for them to know how much they earn through out the year unlike the rest that depends on daily income.

Daily income earners can know how much they earn averagely on a monthly basis by applying this method, I’m talking to the people like plumbers, mechanics, electricians, painters, tailors and the rest.

Get a book like a diary which will record all your daily income. at your workplace then add everything together at the end of the month to know how effectiveness you are in the month, the monthly figures won’t be accurate but it will give you an idea of how much you should expect at the end of every month especially if you’ve performed this method for more than 4 months.

3. Electricity


This is also essential to humanity because it is mandatory in the western world except Nigeria. There are some areas that shares electricity, you will hear things like ‘2 days on and 1 day off’ though its acceptable in Nigeria but we have some places that doesn’t share at all.

Electricity is worrisome in most cases for people that doesn’t have a stand-by generator in their home or business, it can be avoided if you do your home-work genuinely, do not rush, slow and steady wins the race.

4. Security

Generally speaking, Security level in the country is questionable, this is all about you looking for where to relax after going through a difficult. and stressful day, make sure your new house is fenced round up to 12-14 blocks vertically, added with a strong iron gate. You need to know the time when the gate will be opened and locked everyday.

5. Vicinity

Yes, this is crucial to me, the house may be attractive, new, painted and cheap, guess what? There’s something behind it, it could be the surrounding or the area.

There are some areas which are not road friendly both in trekking and driving especially in the raining season, muds or stagnant water will fill up the road and make you unable to take your normal routine to work, this is when you might look back and wondered why the house was cheap, but it’s too late to reverse your decision.

6. Utility Bills

This is very important too especially if you are someone that pays his/her bills when needed. You should be able to go through the NEPA, LAWMA (Lagos State), SECURITY and any other bills in the house during the inspective period.
