by Desh Nautilus Ltd Lagos real estate waits for no one. And regret? Oh, regret shows up with receipts.
There’s a certain type of person in Lagos we all know (or may secretly be):
“I go buy land next year. Make I just sort one or two first.”
But here’s the hard truth:
While you’re sorting “one or two,” the price of that land is sorting itself up to five or six and dragging your dreams along with it.
Let’s talk about why waiting in real estate can quietly become the most expensive mistake of your life.
🏗️ 1. Land Prices in Lekki Are Not Waiting for You
Let’s keep it real: land prices in Lagos don’t sit still.
They move faster than weekend traffic after a rainfall.
Take Lekki Peninsula Scheme II, for example.
Two years ago, property here ranged from ₦40 – ₦60 million.
Today? You’ll need ₦100 million to ₦250 million, and that’s not an exaggeration.
This is real estate inflation in Nigeria, and it’s as real as the jollof at an owambe.
When you wait, the land appreciates… but your bank account doesn’t follow suit.
📉 2. The Longer You Wait, the Less You Can Afford
Let’s do simple maths.
Imagine you had ₦60 million saved in 2023.
A unit at Platinum Square was going for ₦35 million then.
You said, “Let me wait small.”
Today? That same unit is ₦70 million.
Yes, the price doubled in two years.
Waiting does one thing: it shrinks your buying power.
In a place like Lagos, where location is king and good roads are a blessing, procrastination doesn’t just delay dreams, it costs you location, comfort, and peace of mind.
🧠 3. Buying Delay Risks Are More Than Financial
Let’s flip the script.
You see a verified property – titled, trusted, affordable.
You sleep on it.
You wake up one month later. Property? Gone.
The realtor? Moved on.
You? Back to scrolling through listings on Instagram, wondering if it’s another scam.
One thing we’ve learned at Desh Nautilus is that real estate is never truly lost, it just moves into smarter hands.
And often, that “smarter” hand is someone who didn’t overthink it.
📍 Platinum Square Is Still Available… But for How Long?
We don’t mean to rush you, we mean to remind you.

It’s still available.
But if there’s one thing we’ve seen, it’s this:
Availability today is not a guarantee for tomorrow.
