Hello house,

I recently got a job in VI, and will need a place to stay temporarily.

I currently reside in PH with my family, the plan is to get a temporary place to stay and understand Lagos before moving my family.

I will stay for only 6months

Please note am ready to pay, all I need is a room with foam and access to toilet and bath at a reasonable cost.

I don't know Lagos much but will prefer some where close to VI. I know house in VI is expensive so am looking for a place that's close to the office so I don't spend much( a friend mentioned Yaba).

Am supposed to resume in November.

Your replies will be well appreciated

Expensive. Advertise and look for apartments around Yaba, Iyana Oworo or Berger

None for now, but the cheaper the better

Just look for accommodation on the mainland. That island is crazily expensive.

Someone suggested Yaba, Iyana Oworo or Berger. Berger would be too expensive for you cos it's quite far.

You can look for accommodation between Yaba and Iyana Oworo. Those areas are linked to 3rd mainland bridge which would get you to the island within minutes.

And accommodation there is quite affordable as compared to the island.

Do you have any family member or friends in Lagos, if yes, tell them to help you with the numbers of agents in those areas.

One of the reasons I'm against peoole looking for houses or even buying cars online is that it's more expensive. This is because if one agent advertises a property, other agents who have clients looking for properties in that area would call, so by the time you call, there might be like 8 other agents ahead of the one you're going to meet.

This alone would definitely increase the price of the accommodation, cos the higher the number of agents involved in that deal, the higher the commission fee you're going to pay. Cos each and every single one of them would want their own cut for their efforts. This is why some people might end up paying up to 300k as commission only to get into the house and discover that some tenants there paid less than 100k as commission for the same house.

So if you're looking for an accommodation in let's say Yaba, go to yaba and get the numbers of agents operating there, cos there's a high possibility that many of them would be dealing directly with the landlords and not other agents. This would even help you save cost cos the commission would be way cheaper.

Hey boss, good afternoon.... In the same dilemma with the op and I can only spend 400k on accommodations at the moment... Can I get a manageable place for that amount in places close to v.i and ikeja

400k cannot get you one room self con in any of those areas you mentioned. If you want to stay in VI or Ikeja, you should have at least 1.5m readily available.

Try bariga, Iyan Oworo, Iju Ishaga...those areas aren't so far from Ikeja and you'll definitely get a room self con for less than 400k in those areas.

No I didn't
