You are a hard working person. You earn well from your job or business. You are good at saving money for projects. And indeed, you have been savings for years to buy land. You have always desired to own land in the city where you could build your dream home someday. You have always wanted the security and investment potential that comes with land ownership.
Then, why haven’t you bought land yet? What’s really holding you back from investing in the booming Nigerian real estate sector?
Here are the top reasons you don’t own a plot of land.
- You are saving or waiting to have enough money.
We understand! Buying land, especially in the city, is a big expense. But waiting until you save up the entire amount or have a perfect budget for that prime choice could also mean missing out on opportunities.
Start small. Go for what you can afford at the moment. Make a plan to save what you can each month towards your land purchase. Even if it’s a smaller plot or in a slightly less prime area, just start from somewhere. That’s what is most important. You can always upgrade to a bigger, better plot and location as your finances improve. At Aito Properties Ltd, you don’t need to save for years to start or own land. We have flexible payment plans that enables you acquire land conveniently.
2. You tried before, but you were scammed.
Very unfortunate. We understand how painful it could be when you try to acquire land and get swindled, losing you precious money. That’s why we encourage potential investors to buy land from well-profiled vendors, with good track record. The importance of due diligence in property acquisition can never be over emphasised.
But, avoiding land purchase because of a previous bad experience will be like saying I won’t eat food again because of bone that i swallowed in a previous soup. The bad experience provided a learning point. You can still own the land of your dreams without hassles. At Aito Properties Ltd, we ensure that all our properties are sourced from reputable bodies and are meticulously checked legally, statutorily and customarily, to ensure they are free from all encumbrances. We issue water-tight documents that guarantee peace of mind.
3. You are waiting for the perfect opportunity.
“I’m waiting for a DISTRESS sale”. “I’m looking for cheap land”. “I’m waiting for the land that perfectly fits my budget and preferred location”. “I just can’t buy anyhow land”.
The truth is, while you are waiting for that perfect opportunity to come, you are losing your chances of land ownership. The opportunities won’t wait for you. In a fast-paced or dynamic Nigerian real estate market, waiting for the best land, in the best location, at the best price, simply means you will likely be waiting forever.
Instead of waiting and waiting for that perfect property, go for what’s available within your budget and target area. Less-than-ideal can still be a smart investment, especially if you plan to hold the land for a long term. An imperfect land today is better than no land at all.
4. You don’t trust your choices. You need validation.
“I need my uncle to see it. But he isn’t around now”. “My friends don’t like that area”, “that place is a village, bushy”. While we appreciate your fears about such a big financial decision, the reality remains that you can never be 100% sure that you are making the right choices. But working with a knowledgeable and experienced team like Aito Properties Ltd, doing your research, and trusting your gut can go a long way. Often when we seek validation of our investment decisions, there is no guarantee that the other party, who may not be knowledgeable in the field will offer the best advice. The choice you make today that doesn’t seem to be the right choice may eventually turnout to be the best choice ever, because the land could appreciate beyond expectations.
5. You are too busy with other priorities right now.
Work, family, and social commitments, are choking you. No time to move around in search of land, or no time to research or evaluate available options.
Start by taking off a few hours each week for your land search. Connect with a knowledgeable team like Aito Properties Ltd who can advice on viable options. Land investment is about your long-term future, not just your current lifestyle; so creating time for it now will pay off immensely later.
6. You believe you are still young and it isn’t time to buy land.
“I need to flex for now”. “I go buy am later”. Don’t be deceived. You are not too young to own land. Despite your impressive income, your lifestyle could become a major obstacle to your land ownership aspirations.
Start now. If you continue the enjoyment, you will never be old enough to buy or own land. The earlier you start, the better for your future.
At Aito Properties Ltd, we encourage working students, NYSC members, new / young employees to start acquiring land as it helps them achieve a stable future. Such land could be sold to raise capital for business, take care of life emergencies or developed as personal home. Land investment is better done at youth.
