We understand the market

The rental market in Lagos is broken. We've heard it from numerous people.

  • Fake or duplicated listings and wasted viewings.
  • Slow responses and poor coordination across parties.
  • Unclear terms, last-minute changes, and inconsistent documentation.
  • High stress and time cost for renters; low-quality leads for landlords.

A more structured rental workflow

Instead of informal back-and-forth, we're exploring a workflow that standardises listing quality, viewing coordination, screening, and closing steps. Your input helps us understand how to improve the rental process.

  • Listing quality and availability checks.
  • Viewing scheduling and confirmations.
  • Clearer screening and documentation steps.
  • Better communication and progress tracking for all parties.
