Hello,
We all know that Estate Agents in Lagos are very "wonderful". They help prospective tenant to search for houses but...

Sometime they come with a baggage of stress. Inflation of agency fees, addition of unnecessary charges like caution fees etc.

Now the question is this. Is it possible to boy cott these agents? And if the answer is yes. How?

Kindly share your opinion.

These agents are very smart. There is a trend in the real estate market these days.

If a flat goes for 200k per annum and the property owner is ready to accept 1 year Rent. Agency and commission should be 40k.

However, these agents insist on Agency and commission for 2yrs. They end up demanding for 80k.
Then add caution fees etc. You will eventually pay over 100k extra.

This is about 50% extra.
