How to invest Safely in Nigerian Real Estate?

Investors have significantly resorted to real estate business in Nigeria, just because of the better financial security it carries along in comparison to stock market and shares. Real estate investment in Nigeria has become the latest money making trend and must be considered at least once.

The country has a number of business alternatives but people are inclining towards investment in property because it fetches high returns in less time. Considering other West African countries, Nigeria has a better growth perspective for business ventures and property investments. The major reason behind this conducive environment is population relocation probably. People are adopting urban life; hence there is always a shortage of accommodation in almost every town in Nigeria.

You must have also observed that the property rate almost doubles here atleast every three years depending upon the situation of your property. The rate of appreciation is quite high in developing areas, for instance Ibeju Lekki, Igbesa and Mowe.

Done with the advantages of investing in real estate in Nigeria, we would now discuss secure ways to make investments. If you are looking for investing in ready-made villas, flats, buildings instead of virgin lands, rely on Real Estate Investment Trusts (REIT) or companies indexed on the stock exchange.

Below are some steps to avoid scams and make safe real estate investments:
  1. Evaluate the correct value of property by doing extensive research on its location, use, neighborhood and physical state.
  2. Make sure that it is in accordance to Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) guidelines.
  3. Do not forget to consult real estate professional advisors. They can be better assessors in case you are not a professional.
  4. All the documents including ownership, interests, titles, registration and documentation must be easily verifiable.
Investing in real estates in Nigeria of course brings huge profits, but there are certain pitfalls to take care of. Never go for a property with incomplete documentation and never ever get tempted by a building's looks, it might be faulty structurally. Similarly, do negotiate on whatever you are buying. If you can’t do it on your own, involve a professional in the process.
