What ₦5M Can Realistically Get You
Prices change quickly and differ by community, so treat any figure as a guide only.

• A small plot, or part of one, in a developing area.
• Land in an estate that is still at an early stage.
• Fewer amenities, which is why the price is low.

Risks to Watch

• Cheap land with unclear titles.
• Areas where roads and power are promised but not yet built.
• Land that sits inside a government acquisition or right of way.

What Buyers Should Do
Visit the site in person and ask neighbours about the area. Confirm the seller’s ownership and check the documents before paying. Buy for the long term instead of rushing because of “last plots” claims.
