Frequently Asked Questions
How is property value estimated in Nigeria?
Nigerian property values are estimated using the comparative sales method: looking at recent transactions for similar properties in the same area. Key factors include location (neighbourhood prestige, proximity to amenities), property type (flat vs duplex vs detached), number of bedrooms, land size, finishing quality, and security/infrastructure of the estate.
Why is property in Victoria Island so much more expensive?
Victoria Island commands the highest prices in Nigeria due to: proximity to the central business district (CBD), international businesses and embassies, limited land supply (island geography), high-quality infrastructure compared to the mainland, and its status as the commercial heart of Lagos. A typical 3-bedroom flat on VI can cost ₦100M–₦400M.
What is Certificate of Occupancy (C of O) and how does it affect value?
A Certificate of Occupancy (C of O) is the highest form of land title in Nigeria, granted by the state government. Properties with C of O typically command a 20–30% premium over equivalent properties with only a survey plan or deed of assignment. Always verify title documents before buying.
How do I find comparable properties in Nigeria?
You can find comparable properties on Property Pro (propertypro.ng), Private Property (privateproperty.com.ng), and Jiji.ng. Physical estate agents in the target area have the best local knowledge. The Nigerian Institution of Estate Surveyors and Valuers (NIESV) certifies professional valuers who can provide formal valuations for legal and mortgage purposes.
How accurate is this property value estimate?
This calculator provides a broad estimate based on typical price ranges per sqm for known neighbourhoods. Actual values vary significantly based on specific block/street, exact floor (for high-rises), age of building, finishes, estate quality, and current market conditions. For any transaction above ₦10M, always engage a certified estate surveyor and valuer.
