Business / Plan To Become Lagos Landlord—what To Know About New Plot With Building Material by lagosprices: 11:10am On Jan 23
Normally, whenever you get a property, you should be happy you have acquired a wealthy asset that should be appreciating. However, if due diligence is not done, you could be so fast in shock when you realise you've bought a canal that can't save your money but will rather flush it down the river or Atlantic Ocean.

TO MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE WHEN planning to become a Lagos landlord

1. Ask the right questions
2. Ensure the property project you're working on checks out on the 10 most crucial documents as far as owning a property in Lagos is concerned.
3. Have the right price idea of property and materials in Lagos.
4. Anticipate and be goal-oriented with what you need for a property. e.g. are you just owning a property as a luxury?
or as a wealth?
or as a legacy?
or as a pension scheme?
or as a family abode?
or as a passive income? e.t.c

Investment / Re: What Business Can I Invest 10million And Get Good Profit After The Election. by lagosprices: 10:41pm On Mar 14, 2023
I could understand from your posture, you're most likely to be a business-oriented person.

But I will advise anyways (even though you should be paying my consultation fee wink wink )

So let's start this way

First, understand that there is no business that doesn't come with risk... The higher the profit the higher the risk. But the good news is that it is your knowledge about that business that will help you navigate the murky path of the business.

If I would advice you to go into any business, it is important to take a couple of things into consideration so as to play smart and safe.

▶ research about the business
▶ commitment ( how committed would you be to the business ?)
▶ understand your competitors
▶ figure out your unique strategy right from the start

Now, I will highlight just a few businesses that may work here for that "scope" of your request

▶ Ecom
▶ Flower, Plant & Vegetables Farming
▶ Okrika or Used wears (bulk and wholesaler) model
▶ flipping just any lower-priced asset as much as you can

Politics / How Positioned Are You For The Next Future Battleground Of Lagos Authority? by lagosprices: 9:12pm On Mar 14, 2023
This may look like a metaphor but in reality... This is the true reality of how life plays out.

Take it or leave it, it is what it is that owning a landed property will always confer on you a certain level of authority...

Yes, not just financial authority or social recognition alone, but the political leverage at that.

And to truly recon with my financially sagacious brethren from the southeast, Igbo kwenu!, Igbo kwenu!!

They have pretty much understood the power game of what owning a landed property means...although, a lot of political experts would argue that Igbos may not be politically visible as regards to politics in Nigeria. I guess that may not be totally true as to what is obtainable in Lagos at the present moment.

The true picture on the ground is that they are pretty much changing the narrative of Lagos politics... This isn't just because of their economical prowess, but largely due to the landed property many of them have laboured to acquire over the decades.

While we understand that the battleground must have been dominated already in some economically viable locations in Lagos, there is a pretty larger portion of the landed property at good locations in Lagos you shouldn't be left out of in the scheme of the equation.

As cosmopolitan as Lagos is and the fifth largest growing economy in the world as it has been internationally recognised, It won't be heard of or funny when our unborn generations are asking why didn't we set our footprint here in this naturally endowed state when the opportunity was right here steering at us. Trust me, there is no tenable excuse to give in terms of the flexibility and ease of owning a property in these highly developing locations currently at the moment.

Properties / What Could Really Terrify Me More As The Idea Of Hunting For Apartments In Lagos by lagosprices: 1:47pm On Jul 10, 2021
My personal experience

Where all the extra fee to the house rent fee is in ratio 1:1 or 1:2 if you are looking for 1 bedroom to 2 bedroom flat.


That is, in another word, if a one-bedroom should go for #120,000 naira, you are expected to part with #100,000 naira for caution, agent, and agreement fee. Likewise, for a two-bedroom mini flat costing #250,000 naira, you will be expected to drop as much as #100,000 naira to #130,000 naira for the agent, caution, and agreement fee.


Where you may be cajoled to believe that a house is a "blessed house" when agents noticed your reluctance


Where I have happened to see live and direct unflushed excreta ( I am still imagining how this agent that took me there will be forgotten even though I have long forgiven him)


Where I spent almost 35k in moving "ear and dear", from one agent to another just to finally get the one I can "manage" ( If your budget is low and your taste is a bit on the higher side, oga forget oo, you go waka taya ooo)


Where you can start to imagine if you've got a hearing problem because of the sudden change in the price of the apartment you've come to settle with ( The next day, just take your cash there, you will be in shock for the latest update)


Where I happened to come across an apartment that one can just qualify as atan ( in Yoruba, that means home for trash)... Some places can really be hunted though.


Where a developer is imagining you as an investor for his uncompleted structure. ( here, they will be expecting you to make a down payment before it is completed in 3 months time without considering how urgent and how hooked you are)... If this is not liver what will call it...

Where it finally happened that at this junction I will have to borrow the wisdom of our elders... Gbo' gbon nkan ti oju bari ko ni enu man so" not everything the eye sees that mouth speaketh on... Somethings just have to be sealed and locked forever till thy kingdom come.

and here is me thinking I still owe a good agent something even though the apartment I finally got wasn't through him.

Car Talk / Auto Secretes That Make Sellers Panic When They Know You Know by lagosprices: 5:36pm On May 01, 2021
After considering your budget that may propel you to shop for a low price ride through free classified sites like jiji, AutoTrader, Craigslist, Cars45 etcetera … you might be in shock at what you eventually take home if due diligence is not done on your part as far as Nigeria automobile market is concerned.

There are a lot of resources and tools out there to make the procedure involved in buying cars effective. But for simplicity and without going into more confusing technical details, we can get straight to this LagosPrice's free handbook guide that has the complete listing on what you should appraise and check for while going on car hunting in the street of Lagos. Right now, it's accurate to say lagosprice.com.ng got your back on how to own cars that are affordable in Lagos.


True Market Value
What is a True Market Value of Cars?
By definition, the True Market Value (TMV) of a car is the estimated price of the vehicle based upon actual sales data and market forecast and which is taken as a guide as against what other buyers in that area paid for owning the same vehicle model.

Factors that determines true market value of a car
Heads Up!, it is important to clarify this, whenever the value of a car is subjected to scrutiny or a valuation is needed to be carried out, some variables are well noted to always influence the market value. These variables are

-Nature of previous use. For instance, new cars used for rental service by fleets company are resold at a far lesser price.
Excellent fuel efficiency. Cars with such quality will sell higher because they are in high demand.
-Rate of depreciation: to get the depreciation value of a car, your calculation will be based on previous model years of the car, its quality, and the number of used cars on the market.
-High-quality cars
-The mileage
-Natural cause – flooded or accidented
-A car produced in less quantity
-Long-term mechanical issues. The value of the cars depreciate much faster

Bargain Chips
At this junction, you’d want to be certain you are getting the best deal. And to make that happen, you can take advantage of the best bargain chips out there to buy your car.

The best car bargain chip to own an affordable Naija used car or ship in foreign used cars through car auctions is elaborated more here >> https://lagosprice.com.ng/used-car-condition

Processes involved in determining a price of a car after grading its condition
By going with the standards of most notable car valuation sites such as Kelley’s Blue Book KBB and others, you can determine by estimate the TMV of a car by properly cross-checking its state of condition against the following category of conditions as explained in the detail below.

Near New Condition:
The car at this state has its mileage read below average for the year model. Cars in this category have no significant flaws whatsoever. They have a clear indication of a perfectly maintained Interior. The Engine looks new and it is in excellent condition. Other relevant components and compartments in the car such as the Trunk, Spare tire are in great shape. Tools and accessories are all still very much available. Upon verification of service records, the Service history of the car is readily accessible and does not suggest any serious mechanical or bodywork. For vehicles like this, their title history is clean.

The value estimation of this car in a near new condition is around 85% of the car price for the same newer model and will be having around 20yrs – 22yrs of lifespan to hang onto.

Extra Clean Condition:
The car at this state has its mileage read below average for the year model. Cars within this class, have no significant bodily defect such as scratches. However, there may be some indication of minor scratches at the door or on the vital edges of the car. There may also be little interior wear as well as very minute weathering around the underhood. Tools and accessories are still available (but may not be complete). Upon verification of service records, results indicate a clean Title history and the Service history of the car does not suggest any serious mechanical or bodywork.

The average estimated value of an extra clean car can worth 75% – 80% of the car price for the same newer model and will have 19yrs – 22yrs on its shelf life.

Clean Condition
For a car to imply to be in a clean condition, then, it has to be that there are no major defects on the vehicle. The rust on this vehicle isn’t apparent. Upon verification of service records, the vehicle’s result shows a clean Title History, the exterior and interior may have few scratches and no serious mechanical issues. Tread wears on the tires can be observable. Reconditioning of cars in this condition may not be necessary but they are recommended to increase their retails sales value.

The value estimation of this car in a clean condition is around 70% or slightly less for the price of the same newer model and 12yrs – 15yrs of lifespan to play with.

Fair Condition
A car in fair condition will have some mechanical or aesthetic defects that have to be serviced and fixed before it can be deemed fit to run on the road. There can be noticeable rust that should be rectified as well. Upon verification of service records, the vehicle’s result shows a clean Title History, the exterior and interior may have few scratches and minor mechanical issues that require the attention of a pro. The condition of the tires may be poor and would require replacement.

The value estimation of a car in fair condition is between 50% – 60% of the car price for the same newer model and 6yrs – 8yrs of lifespan an owner can use it for.

Poor or damaged condition
The condition of a vehicle here means that the vehicle has mechanical and aesthetic defects and is in poor shape. The severity of issues such as a damaged frame or complete mechanical breakdown can most time get to the point it can’t be reversibly fixed. A car in poor condition usually comes with a branded title (salvage, flood, etc.) or unsubstantiated mileage.

The value estimation of this car in a poor condition is around 10% – 30% of the car price for the same newer model. These kinds of cars are best advised to be recycled or salvaged. Many cars abandoned for years at the roadside in Nigeria you found like this fall into this category.


Smart analytic tools
The hassle that accompanies the costing and acquiring TMV of cars off the shelve of various vendors and dealership are minimized with the aid of these tools as follows

Appraisal tool: This software program is pretty much an accurate tool used in determining the current worth of your car for free. While at a premium price, they are easily integrated into websites of car dealers or review websites like Edmunds.

CARFAX: is an online resource for pulling out car history for records of any form of accidents or title the car might have had in course of use. It is a cheaper way to check the history of any used vehicle. Every type of vehicle has its unique serial number that is called Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). With this VIN, the history reports can be easily retrieved from the database.

Key areas to inspect in the car and how to do it
A deep-down investigation before buying a pre-owned or used car from a dealership or a private seller is the utmost task a buyer has to do.

Caution!
There are always techniques for hiding serious mechanical problems from a buyer, so choosing a seller you trust is your best bet for a good deal.

So if you don’t have the mechanical knowledge to inspect a car yourself or you aren’t close by, it’s worthwhile to arrange to have the car looked over by an independent mechanic for extra peace of mind. If the seller doesn’t want to bother taking the car to a shop, some services will go to the car’s location for an inspection.

Car history
It is very important that when you search history of a vehicle, there are very crucial details you should pay more attention to.

This does include detail such as the nature of what its previous user was doing with it? How many miles show on the odometer? Maybe 190,000 miles (304,000 km) or more on the reading? And if you are going to drive long distances commuting or traveling, cars over 100,000 miles (160,000 km) should be seriously depreciated, Also look into what terrain was it mostly driven? Was it driven mostly on tarred highway road or untarred hilly mountain?

Test for Basic performance
When you can check for the basic performance of the car by basing your test specifically on the following areas, these are what you do…

At the alternator, water pump, and air conditioner compressor: look out for warped or bent components in them.

For the engine vent or the oil filler cap: Be observant about exhaust leaks or smoke coming through them.
At the point of ignition: When the vehicle sputters or tries to keep running after the switch is turned off, the car may be due for a major tune up.

You can also take this a little further by raising the hood when the vehicle is started up, listen for any unusual sounds. and if you notice noises that seem like iron are grinding on each other will suggest knocking sounds at the first start-up. And that is a clear sign the engine is gone for good.

While the vehicle is running, be as much certain that any form of vibration, pulleys which may seem to wobble is not present. You shouldn’t forget to check the fan blades to know if it is spinning or not.

Engine inspection
To inspect the engine, the following key areas should be checked. And these are what you should do…

Under the hood: even for an inexperienced eye, you can do this hassle-free task.
Do the oil check. Pull out the dipstick and look at the oil. the color should be between light amber and dark brown. and the oil thickness should be moderately viscous in look and feel.

Note: If after oil inspection, you happen to detect a black tarry looking oil, then that shows a sign of neglect in servicing the engine. If you notice milky or foamy bubbles in the oil. it indicates a blown head gasket or cracked block or cylinder head. Also, If you smell a burnt odor, it is a sign that the valves are not in perfect alignment.

The hoses, wire insulation, and belts should be free of cracks, and unusual discoloration. Notwithstanding, it is important to clarify that belts may be manufactured in a variety of colors and that should not be mistaken for a color change that may be observed on faulty belts.

Transmission System Check
To go about a check on the transmission of an automatic vehicle, you can pull the dipstick and take a deep look at the transmission fluid. If it is dark brown, black, or smells burnt which is sharply distinct from the usual pink or red-colored very thin oily liquid, then, there is a serious transmission problem you’ve got to be prepared for dear.

Electronic and Computer System Check
You wouldn’t want to dare take a flooded car home, right? We are sure about that! When you notice any unusual way the entertainment system of the car behaves, then, do not doubt a flood history of the vehicle.

Comfort System Check
The comfort system comprises AC, heating, suspension, e.t.c. they are there to make driving a round of experience. Given that, this helps justify why you need to inspect the condition of the vehicle in this regard. So to have that checked through…then

At the diver seat: spend a lot of time in the driver’s seat, so you can get a better impression of the legroom, cabin controls, and other calming feature you’re supposed to feel. It is reasonable to do that so as to help you know if is well configured in such a way to be comfortable to you,

Exterior check
Now take a deep dive into what we should be looking for here. And they include.

Check for wear on the tires if you are sure that they have never been changed. Doing this can help you find out the kind of terrain the car was driven through. You can easily know at the first glance if the car was often driven in steep or hilly terrain since cars that ply this route experience serious drive train wear.
