FAQs: Houses for sale in Lagos

How much does it cost to buy a house in Lagos?

Prices span a wide range: affordable mainland areas like Ikorodu and Alimosho start from ₦10m–₦40m for a 3-bedroom bungalow. Mid-range mainland — Surulere, Gbagada, Yaba — ranges from ₦30m–₦90m. Lekki Phase 1 houses sell from ₦80m–₦300m. Ikoyi detached houses start from ₦200m and reach ₦2bn+ for trophy properties.

What documents do I need to buy a house in Lagos?

The minimum title standard is a Certificate of Occupancy (C of O) issued by the Lagos State Lands Bureau. Also require a Survey Plan, Building Approval, and a clear Deed of Assignment. Engage a solicitor to conduct a full title search before any payment — never rely solely on documents provided by the seller.

What is the best area to buy a house in Lagos?

It depends on budget and priorities. For investment and capital appreciation: Lekki Phase 1, Ikoyi, and the Ibeju-Lekki corridor. For family living with good schools: Ikeja GRA, Gbagada, Magodo. For affordable value: Ikorodu, Alimosho, and Iyana-Ipaja. For prestige: Banana Island and Ikoyi.

Can I get a mortgage to buy a house in Lagos?

Yes. The Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria (FMBN) and several commercial banks offer mortgage products. Property must have clean title (preferably C of O) to qualify. Getting pre-approval before house-hunting helps you move quickly on the right property.

What are the additional costs when buying a house in Lagos?

Budget an additional 15–20% above the asking price. This covers: Lagos State consent/stamp duty (typically 3–5%), survey fees (₦50k–₦200k), legal fees (1–2%), estate agency commission (5–10%), and any outstanding ground rent. Confirm all statutory charges are clear before completion.

How long does buying a house in Lagos take?

A typical house purchase in Lagos takes 4–12 weeks from offer to completion. Title verification at the Lands Bureau adds 2–4 weeks. Off-plan purchases at developer projects can take 12–36 months to completion from contract signing.
