In Lagos, there are several real estate firms that offer both built-up homes and landed properties for middle to upper-class earners, and these firms are all competing for clients by offering packages that make their properties more affordable. Some of the most popular firms include Lagos New Town, Vines Realty, RevolutionPlus, Adron Homes, Merit Abode, Richfield Limited, and Greenville Estate.
The properties offered by these firms are located throughout Lagos, and some of the most popular areas include Lekki, Ajah axis, Ikorodu, Isheri North, and Epe.

Before purchasing any property, it is important to conduct thorough investigations to ensure that the property is owned by the lawful owner(s) and is not under government acquisition. The title documents should also be vetted by a lawyer for originality, and it is best to avoid purchasing a property that is in any form of the legal or family dispute to avoid inheriting problems that could cost you more money to solve.
