    Just found your page and I really love your energy so I subscribed 😊
    I love how you mentioned that it’s funny when people say they’re house hunting for months.. it’s really unrealistic.
    I moved from a whole other state to Lagos recently and I didn’t even move about to find an apartment. I prayed about my agent and God sent a really trustworthy agent for me.. I found a house in less than a month and the guy was just sending me pictures till I saw the one I really liked. I sent my cousin who was in Lagos for viewing and made specifications of all she should critically look into; when everything was good, I paid and moved peacefully to Lagos and this house has been amazing since I moved.
    While searching, I wrote a list of things I wouldn’t compromise on like good water, spacious kitchen/good space in general etc and didn’t have an over-romanticized idea of the area i wanted to stay.. I found a great place that the area wasn’t “giving or serving aesthetic” but just okay and fine with clean water and mad constant light. Especially knowing my budget, I wasn’t looking for overly fancy aesthetics with a slim under 1M rent budget.. that’s just unrealistic.. when I furnish to my taste it will eventually start “giving”.. I’ve watched house hunting videos of people who really like a house but they’ll say the bathroom tiles is not fine and that will be the disqualification of a very nice “aesthetically pleasing” house. Especially when you know your budget, stick to the basics but good fundamentals and keep it pushing… but this is the social media era and the obsession to impress can be detrimental
    Anyway, Sorry for the long comment. Love your channel; I have a feeling you’ll blow up here soon. Godspeed acceleration to you, Amen❤

    The pep talk at the beginning is just what I needed. Thank you so much.
    I have a few questions because I'm moving from another state.
    Can you explain what total package means?
    For the service charge that's part of the rent, do you pay monthly? Or do you pay service charge for the whole year along with the rent?
    This might not be a question for you, but just in case, I'll still ask.
    For someone in the medical field, which part of Lagos is more concentrated with hospitals, Mainland or Island? Because, I'm hoping to start looking for a job after getting an apartment.
    Also do you have constant electricity in the Mainland or at least 20 hours?
    I'd appreciate your response.
    Sorry for the long comment. I'm just in this dilemma of finally leaving family home to Lagos and using RUclips for research and your video is one of the most detailed here. Thank you!!❤

    • @chukspeterson
      @chukspeterson  Месяц назад

      Hello dear. Sure I’m here to help.
      Total package means the entire money you’re going to be paying for the rent including the agency fee, and other bills that comes with the apartment.
      The service charge depends on the landlord or the house, some prefer monthly, some do it yearly and sometimes added to the total package.

    • @chukspeterson
      @chukspeterson  Месяц назад

      I think the mainland has more hospitals but I don’t know how well they pay. Island can be very expensive to live in as someone just coming into Lagos. Best bet is to start from the island and then grow gradually. All depends on your budget shar

    • @chukspeterson
      @chukspeterson  Месяц назад

      Also somany areas in Lagos these days have constant electricity. Best bet is to check for houses around Isolo, Ago Okota, Surulere, Amuwo, gbagada, etc
      I’m so proud of you for making the bold step to adulthood. We’ve all been there, just move and you’ll figure it out. You’ve got this!! 👌❤️

    Hi. When you say someone moving out is a red flag, I’m trying to make sense of that. Aren’t people supposed to move out? Because one is not gonna get brand new houses all the time. I’m moving out of a mini flat to a 2 bedroom because we now need the extra space, so someone renting my old apartment would be red flagging the place? 😂😂

    • @chukspeterson
      @chukspeterson  6 месяцев назад
