🏠 The Homebuyer’s Checklist: What to Look for Before You Commit.

Your ultimate guide to buying smart, not sorry — powered by DESH Nautilus Ltd


💭 Imagine This…

You walk into a house and everything looks perfect. The lighting is warm, the floors are glossy, and you can already picture yourself hosting Sunday brunch in the living room.

But looks can deceive.

Many homes in Nigeria are dressed up to impress buyers—but beneath the surface lies overpriced structures, poor value, and zero resale potential.

That’s why DESH Nautilus Ltd, your trusted real estate marketing company, has created The Homebuyer’s Checklist — a powerful guide to help you make the best property decisions with confidence and class.


📍 1. Prime Location or Price Trap?

It’s not just about where the house is — it’s about what the location can do for you.

✅ Is the area growing in value or stagnating?
✅ Are there new roads, schools, malls, or infrastructure coming?
✅ What’s the ROI potential in 5 years?

🌟 Example: A property in Lekki peninsula scheme II today may seem far in distance, but with government expansion and new estates rising, a smart N70M investment could be worth N140M in a few years.

One of the Top performing property in lekki peninsula scheme II is Plantinum square, a fast selling, highly sought after property, located in one of the safest and fastest growing residential zones in Nigeria.


When you buy at Plantinum Square, you are stepping into property designed for growth, and designed to grow your net worth


🧾 2. The Power of Proper Documentation

In Nigeria, titles are not just paper — they’re your protection.

📄 Ask for:

  • Certificate of Occupancy (C of O)
  • Deed of Assignment
  • Registered Survey Plan
  • Governor’s Consent (for second-hand sales)

🚨 Red Flag: If the seller says ‘we’ll process it after payment,’ don’t walk — run.

Over 50% of kand disputes in Nigeria stems from poor Title checks.

At DESH Nautilus Ltd, every listed property comes with verified documents, legal clarity, and peace of mind.


💡 3. Is This Home a Good Investment or Just a Pretty Shell?

Many homebuyers focus on comfort and forget the bigger picture: wealth creation.

Before sealing that deal, ask yourself:

❓ Can I rent this out at a good rate if I relocate?
❓ Will this property value appreciate over time?
❓ Is it part of an estate or area that commands premium pricing?


🛠️ 4. The Cost Beyond Purchase: Maintenance

It’s not just about buying a home — it’s about maintaining it.

🧰 Check for:

  • Quality of paint and exterior work
  • Plumbing and electrical systems
  • Water tanks, generators, and appliances (if furnished)
  • Drainage and compound leveling

🧱 5. Structure, Finishing & Hidden Costs

Don’t let paint foo; you, a house may sparkle outside, but if the walls are weak or the wiring is faulty — you’ll pay twice.

🔍 What to inspect:

  • Are the tiles aligned evenly?
  • Are doors and windows solid or shaky?
  • Are ceilings properly installed?
  • Any signs of shortcuts in construction?

💡 Pro Insight: Beautiful finishing doesn’t mean durable structure.

DESH Nautilus Ltd only recommends properties that pass our quality control test — both above and below the surface.


📊 6. Buy for Tomorrow, Not Just Today

Think beyond the now.

🔮 Ask:

  • Will this space work if I get married or have kids?
  • Can I build or extend?
  • Will I be proud to resell this house in 5 years?

🏘️ 7. Community, Security & Surroundings

Your environment influences your daily experience and your property’s long-term value.

🔐 Ask:

  • Is it a gated estate with professional security?
  • Are there streetlights and paved roads?
  • Are there supermarkets, schools, and hospitals nearby?

🏡 Example: A slightly pricier home in a secure estate pays off with peace of mind.


🔍 8. Inspect Beyond the Obvious

Think beyond the now.

🔮 Ask:

  • Will this space work if I get married or have kids?
  • Can I build or extend?
  • Will I be proud to resell this house in 5 years?

💼 9. Choose a Real Estate Partner That Cares

This is your biggest investment — don’t take chances.

✔️ You need a real estate company that values:

  • Transparency
  • Quality
  • Integrity
  • Customer success

That’s DESH Nautilus Ltd. We don’t just sell houses — we protect legacies.
