AdornHomes:
Hi

We have the following:

8. No of units available: 35

Rgds

AdornHomes:
Properties are selling fast.

50 units left.

Rgds

As fast as they are selling, how come the number of units left are increasing? Is the estate expanding or do you have your numbers wrong?

What title documents does an outright purchaser get?

@Ihebrooke

So amazingly rare is the maturity you have shown on this thread. On top of that, your designs are simply marvellous! Keep it up, you will go places.

A couple of questions, please pardon my ignorance: I am guessing you are an Architect or "designer", is that right? You show exterior 3D views, but when it comes to dimensioning the interior (e.g. deciding how big the kitchen and bathrooms etc will be to fit into the overall external limits of the building) are you able to provide those too or is that for another professional? Are you also able to provide internal 3d views?

Kip on rockin!

It is such a shame that the entire property section has been taken over, almost entirely, by adverts.

It does not add any value for any agent to advertise his properties individually in separate threads - why not group them instead? Imagine, today one agent posted more than 20 separate threads advertising different properties. What stops him from posting all those adverts, all of them together, in just one thread at once?

Agreed, agents are desperate to sell and there are fewer and fewer buyers out there, but why is it that when you have one agent that has 10 properties to market, he goes ahead to create 10 separate threads, one for each property? Can a single thread not be created by that agent and all his properties be listed there instead of SPAMING the entire property section? If you advertise a group of properties in one thread, you can easily update the thread if one property (out of the group) is subsequently sold or whatever. And we get to reduce the number of adverts which are crowding out the other non-advert threads in the property section.

If agents group their adverts, it will make life easier for the mods, forum members and the agents/advertisers themselves. It will also save Seun disk space and bandwidth.

Also I support the OP's request for sub-boards. I particularly like coolguyz's suggestion. Lawyer/Seun abeg please grant us our wish and create sub-boards in the property section and also encourage each agent to post all his adverts in a single threads rather than in multiple threads.

These adverts have become an almost unbearable nuisance.

Thank you and kip on rockin!

Ihebrooke,

Isn't it the norm in Nigeria to have high fences? I noticed the fences for your duplexes are "relatively low" with "transparent" upper sections.

Beautiful designs though.

Anyone heard from Megastu recently?

His absence/silence is unusual.

Please let's know you are fine.

Not heard from him, but a look at his profile page shows he was active on Nairaland as recently as yesterday (Friday) morning. I am sure he is fine.

Managed to get photographs of work done so far. Turns out they exceed the size limit for attachement so could not be uploaded.

I was trying to resize the photos when my laptop went kaput! Won't even boot!

If you can help with resizing and uploading, please post mail address so I can mail them to you. Luckily I have them on my phone.

Johnie, kindly forward to "Afroquest at Yahoo dot com", please ignore spaces in the email address. I will convert to a smaller file format (PNG?) and upload . . . that is if you are still having probs with your laptop.

Have a good weekend. Cheers

coolguyz:
in my opinion, its not a matter of how many subsections. to me, the property section should have just two -

1. the advert section - for sale, rent, lease - house, building materials, property services e.t.c

2. the articles section - which would be the discussion forum on anything affecting the property market from mortgages to building plans e.t.c. where you can easily refernec and get desired information on the real estate world.

likewise, this would still not be a success if we dont moderate the menace of of some posters.

thank you!

axeman85:
Its totally unfair to both rich and poor and to all in general. why must the residents or people who ply the route pay for the developments of the road or the area ? if thats the case then people in lekki or those who will ply the route should be excluded from paying tax afterall the reason tax is paid is for the development of the country which includes good roads amongst all other things. and even if they will introduce toll gate it should be a highways and expressways and not residential area like that. they place is already congested with heavy traffic. creating a tollgate will only make things worse in the place. whoever advised the goernment on that idea must just be a someone with empty brain without knowledge or just daft.

I agree with you more or less. However, I think that if the road is expanded (more lanes), as they have said they would, then the traffic constraint will be limited to a few metres to the toll gates.

For me, progress has been too slow - I heard they are still struggling to complete a 6 km stretch from the Exxon end. May God help us.

More than commuter rail services i think rail freight service is of more importance at the moment. A situation where consumables rot away in one part of the country while they cost a fortune elsewhere is senseless. Also the amount of truck accidents on Nigerian roads is frightening.

already heard they will be charging 50 naira per private car.

How do you guys think this charge will be levied? If for example it is NGN 50, will it be "per pass" or "per day" for a given private car?

johnie:
I was worried that the thread had turned into a dialogue between myself and Megastu!

Worry not, Johnie. I am sure folks lurk around, read and enjoy your exchanges with Megastu (as I always do). It is just that some of us have no clue what is happening in that axis . . . diaspora, did I hear you say? . . . and that is even the more reason why such a thread is needed. Will gladly chip in whenever I can.

Investment › Re: Interest Rate On Fixed Deposit Accounts In Nigeria by X2X(m): 11:20pm On Mar 09, 2010

Looks like the shyt has hit the fan, as far as interest rated on FD are concerned in Nigeria.

I've been to a few banks and all are offering single digit rates, despite the fact that I am dangling over 10 million before them. I was told that rates have been crashing over the last month and the trend is likely to continue. Those of you who managed to fix at higher rates should count yourselves lucky. Perhaps when your current fixes mature, you will be hit with the lower rates . . . that is if you decide to continue fixing.

Seems I would have to consider other options apart from FD afterall.

@rof
Thanks for your help anyways.

I dont know about UBARemit, but as for the NSE website, I noticed it hardly works (read doesn't work) at weekends.

If you want to use the site, check during weekdays, say evenings.

why mot good at all?

Hmm, aboki. It is not good for those (of us) whose primary earnings are in Sterling and primary expenses are in Naira! It is not good for those having a huge stash of Sterling, who were thinking about changing it to Naira - and had already budgeted how much it would be, bla, bla, bla. You feel me shey?

Aside from the selfish reasons above, weakening Sterling (and dollar) will make imports cheaper, which will make it more attractive to buy foreign products which is bad for local manufacturers. It will also encourage "expatriation" of funds from Naira to Sterling which will worsen the liquidity squeeze in our Economy. DOnt also forget that our major source of revenue is oil, which is sold in USD. If the naira's value strengthens too much, oil revenue (in Naira terms) will decline.

well never mean to be sorry .

Apologies to all those who requested this form from me who I didnt respond to promptly or eventually. I dont visit the travel section regularly so I tend to find out about the request rather belatedly.

I never dreamt so many people would be wanting this form and I dont think this request/response approach is the most efficient way of sharing it. What I am going to do is to upload the form onto a shared file hosting service and paste the link here, so that anybody can download it for themselves, without having to come here to ask for it from me, OAMJ or indeed anyone else.

So here is the link to the (zipped) file, uploaded to my esnips space. Download from the link.
