Lagos real estate is one of Nigeria's most reliable asset classes. Fred Realtors helps serious investors find the right properties, understand the numbers and build portfolios that perform.

The Case for Lagos

Why invest in
Lagos real estate

15% – 25%Average annual rental yield in prime Lagos areas

Properties in Lekki, Ikoyi and Victoria Island consistently deliver rental yields well above inflation. In areas like Lekki Phase 1, fully serviced apartments regularly return 18% or more per year on purchase price.

3x – 8xCapital appreciation in 10 years across key corridors

Investors who bought in Lekki Phase 1 in 2014 saw values multiply between 3 and 8 times by 2024. Infrastructure improvements along the Lekki-Epe corridor continue to drive appreciation in Ajah and beyond.

USDNaira-denominated assets provide natural hedge

Lagos prime real estate is increasingly priced and transacted in USD for high-end properties, providing a natural hedge against Naira devaluation. Shortlet properties in VI and Ikoyi take payment in both currencies.

Strategies

Three ways to invest
in Lagos property

Buy-to-Let Residential

Purchase a flat, house or duplex and rent it out long-term. Best for steady income with moderate capital growth. Lekki Phase 1, Ajah and Ikoyi are the strongest markets for this strategy.

Best for: First-time investors, pension planning, stable income

Entry Point

From ₦15,000,000

Off-Plan Development

Buy a unit before or during construction at a pre-completion price. Upon completion, you either sell at the market rate or rent out at the current rate. Requires patience but delivers the best returns when timed well.

Best for: Investors with 18 to 36 month horizon, growth-focused

Entry Point

From ₦95,000,000

Commercial Property

Office space, retail units and warehouses in Lagos generate strong yields and multi-year leases. Tenants are typically businesses, which means fewer management issues than residential. High entry point but strong cash flow.

Best for: Experienced investors, corporate tenants preferred

Entry Point

From ₦28,000,000 per annum (lease)
