House hunting again in Lagos Nigeria! Substandard houses and outrageous rents! Lagos how far?!

[@RUYINAETENGsMEDICDIARY]

I love how thoughtful you are about little concerns.

[@dera_giselle]

Thank you😊 I am just being careful cos I don’t want to move into a bad place and have to move out the following year😫

[@Susan.Ekpiri]

That’s Lagos for you, most house owners are beginning to convert their houses. Most of this agents hike the house rents to suit themselves I know this because I am an agent. Good luck ❤

[@dera_giselle]

Thank you so much🥺❤️

[@rudolphharrigan1804]

Gm i amazing and happy for your apartment hunting 😊

Thank you so much🙏🏼

[@SonofthewindsInc]

Very scary. Lots of people ripping off others with this greed without quality. Awful.

[@dera_giselle]

It’s really so sad

[@SonofthewindsInc]

@@dera_giselle To get a a person one can trust and deliver good quality is very rare. 220 Million Nigerians , what a wonderful treat it would be to get straight forward and honest service...Greed is a hinderance and stifles trust/ Plenty to go round.

That last one is a no no immediately I heard landlord 😢 My dear I pray that God provide you with your heart desire❤

[@dera_giselle]

Living with landlords is so hard😩 They’ll monitor everything you do and complain endlessly

[@akibank2604]

It is raising damp from the ground water.

[@dera_giselle]

Wow😟

[@amakalinda8323]

Omo this is water oooo dnt mind dem o

[@dera_giselle]

[@nwanyiigbovlogs]

Thanks sis❤️

[@KM-yq6bf]

That first house definitely has mold issues with such water damages 😢

[@dera_giselle]

I think so too🥺

[@AL-HAYAAHULIFESTYLES]

It is water ooo

[@Vivthedocpreneur]

Hey Dera can you elaborate on the outstanding fees with prepaid meters?

[@dera_giselle]

Nowadays in Lagos (I don’t know about other states) whenever you get a new prepaid meter, it comes with some outstanding fees. According to NEPA, that is their estimated bill for the few months you were waiting for the prepaid meter and using direct contact. Whether you were in the house or not, even if it’s a new house, as long as it’s a new prepaid meter, it comes with outstanding bills. The place I moved out from, we got a new prepaid meter for my apartment and another apartment to share and that meter came with over 80k outstanding fees. So we were mandated to recharge over 40k the first and second time. NEPA took more than half of the money and gave us some units. After the first and second recharge, any money we recharged, NEPA took half and gave us units with the remaining half. It was so hard and annoying. So I was really hoping I would move into a place with an old prepaid meter that had no outstanding bills and I was lucky to get a meter with no outstanding bills.

[@Vivthedocpreneur]

@@dera_giselle oh wow! Thanks for the information 👍

[@chisomudezue]

Ọmọ, house rent cost oooo

[@dera_giselle]

Very very expensive. If someone now goes to rent house in places like Ikeja GRA or some places on the island, the person will even spend over 5 million Naira😭

[@emeliathompson3453]

Omg, these homes are below standards for that kind of money.

[@AmaDIYNow]

lol 😅 I’m not getting into a house like this second one lai lai

[@dera_giselle]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@babssloans7945]

Wow horrible apts, omg, sis don't settle for less Good luck

[@Fragrance_lawyer]

Jesus that second house looks very haunted. God abeg ohh. What!!!!

[@dera_giselle]

😂😂😂

[@KM-yq6bf]

The 1.95M house is absolutely crazy😭😭😭😭

[@dera_giselle]

Really crazy😭🤣😂😂🤣 Lagos landlords and agents are a special case study

[@ogomsseries]

House hunting is not easy at alllll and making a choice is not one person decision.

[@dera_giselle]

Honestly😫 It’s not a journey for the weak at all

[@Blessed-o4p]

Omo❤

[@dera_giselle]

Omo o😩❤️

[@TheBee444]

Why wouldn’t the landlord fix the house before showing it to potential tenants? What’s wrong with Lagos agents? Are they this naive & gullible? Lagos is overrated. No moral considerations. What a mess!

[@dera_giselle]

They don’t fix it because they know some persons will eventually settle for the apartments cos they’d be tired of searching endlessly😢 Those landlords need regulations. If not, they’ll never change

[@TheBee444]

@@dera_giselle You’ve said it all. That said, I think your voice over is top notch and beautifully narrated. You’re also a fine woman. Keep it up.

[@RUYINAETENGsMEDICDIARY]

Mehnnn the prices are something else

[@dera_giselle]

Sooooo outrageous😭

[@Jenniferuktv]

Omo House hunting in Lagos is not child’s place o

[@dera_giselle]

At all o😭

[@KM-yq6bf]

The front of that mechanic house 😭😭😭😭😭 how will you get to the road without being harassed

[@dera_giselle]

No way😭😂

[@Fragrance_lawyer]

It’s only the first house that was ok the rest na God for bid.

[@dera_giselle]

And the funny thing is that they are all at outrageous prices and people will still rent them😭

[@oddollar1872]

Can i get one room self-contained of 300k to pay 250k in Ikeja

[@dera_giselle]

It’s possible but it will be very hard and it may not be conducive

[@oddollar1872]

@@dera_giselle okay thanks dear

[@deinjack]

God abeg, what's all this

[@dera_giselle]

It’s really scary😩 Never knew it was this bad until I started house hunting

[@Kingajetun]

Omo. Even animals can’t live in these kind of places. Damn 😢

[@dera_giselle]

Sad thing is that people will still rent those houses😢

[@KM-yq6bf]

Not the dead rat 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@dera_giselle]

My eyes have seen things🤣🤣🤣

[@iammariaceline5303]

Omo, it’s not even funny. I can only imagine the stress in one has to undergo in house hunting in Nigeria. I wish they can upgrade to only then you only get to book for appointments for viewing, it’ll save us from so much stress

[@dera_giselle]

My dear! The stress is inexplicable 😭

[@femilicious]

I wont even enter the place with a dead rat already on the floor

[@chisomudezue]

Lagos is not for me ...una dey try

[@dera_giselle]

😂😂😂

[@sunnysunny501]

Lagos with their cra$&$py house, reason I can never live in Lagos. I will be depressed, if I rented any of those apartments. What is special in Lagos? Why do people want to live in that dirty city? Blows my mind.

[@clintonufere8534]

Omo the person that has attitude house is looking like weapon fashioned against someone

[@dera_giselle]

Oh my God🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@AmaDIYNow]

Nahh you see that last house it’s not it at all. Thank God you didn’t go for it at all
