Hello everyone, I’m Francis Akintola, the Real Estate Minister, and welcome to Insight and Knowledge!
In this article, we’ll be delving into the frustrations, desires, fears, and solutions related to property purchase in Nigeria, with a special focus on Nigerians in the diaspora.
The Frustration of High Property Prices
Let’s face it – high property prices can be a significant hurdle, especially in Lagos. Buyers often find themselves limited by the high costs, and their desire is for affordable properties that fit their budget and offer value for money. However, their greatest fear is falling victim to property scams by fraudulent sellers.
The solution lies in thorough market research to avoid overpaying and ensuring transparent transactions. Buyers crave accurate and transparent information about properties and transactions.
Transparency throughout the buying process is essential to alleviate fears of legal issues, which can be mitigated by hiring a competent local lawyer to handle all legal aspects correctly.
Inadequate Property Information and Cultural Differences
Buyers often struggle to find comprehensive information about properties they’re interested in. Their desire is for detailed property descriptions and accurate information about any property they consider.
Understanding the local culture is crucial for effective navigation in real estate. Educating oneself on local customs and traditions is key to making informed decisions. Our fourth point is inefficient property search. Buyers often find it challenging to locate properties that meet their specific criteria.
The desire here is for an efficient and effective property search method to streamline the process.
Currency Devaluation and Communication Barriers
Currency devaluation is a significant concern, affecting the value of investments. It’s important to consider currency risks and the potential impact of currency fluctuation on investments.
Buyers often face challenges communicating with sellers, agents, and other parties involved in transactions. Their desire is for clear and effective communication channels to facilitate smooth transactions.
Unreliable Sellers and Limited Financing Options
Unreliable sellers are a significant concern. Verifying sellers’ credentials, reputation, and credibility before making a purchase is crucial to avoid dealing with untrustworthy individuals.
Another frustration is limited financing options. Buyers may struggle to find suitable financing for their property purchases. Their desire is for accessible and flexible financing options to make their purchases feasible.
Property Ownership Disputes and Political Instability
Regarding fears, property ownership disputes and unclear title issues are common worries, especially in Lagos. The solution lies in clear ownership documentation, ensuring all documents are legally binding and transparent. Political instability is a significant concern.
Changes in government can impact the property market, causing fluctuations and uncertainties. The solution lies in staying updated on the political climate and understanding its potential impact on the market.
Intense Competition and Slow Legal Processes
Buyers face stiff competition from others, leading to bidding wars and higher prices. Their desire is to gain a competitive advantage in the market, acquiring properties at good prices without excessive competition.
Slow legal processes can be frustrating for buyers, causing delays and uncertainties. Their desire is for quick and efficient legal procedures to streamline transactions.
Stay Informed and Stay Ahead
Another fear buyers face is changes in government policies, especially regarding property ownership and taxes like land use charges. Staying informed about policy changes is crucial to navigate these challenges effectively.
