House hunting in lagos can be a crazy ride .. what's your own experience, here's mine
..
One of such experiences was when i escorted a friend of a friend to house hunt around that Ajah area, he was just rounding up with NYSc then, and just needed a one bed room that looked cool and comfy enough, with kitchen and all,

i mean for an NYSc guy youd be wondering if the allawee money will be enough, but clearly the guy had backup from family background so, i didn't leave no stones unturned ..

1st house ..
We had already contacted the agent prior to that day, and i already had list of things i wanted to look out for, we scheduled a day,
On that fateful day, we met up at that Ajah under bridge, Dude brought his own car, we all joined in,
To start with the compound was not bad and wasnt so good,

1st thing i asked the Agent, was where is the landlord, does he stay here, how does he frequent this place, how many people are in the compound, he said just 2 and the owner is in UK, that theres a caretaker

then looking at the walls and the compound floor i was making my deductions, the guy asked me anything, i said no, ( in my mind i was like this place is waterlogged, the green on the floor says that) .. now the entrance to the apartment had the same signs of waterlog .. but heres the craziest part ...
You see theres was a hallway we passed it didnt even fit two people at the same time, now coming into the apartment, the rooms looked like cubicles, i also noticed that a part of the toilet was been cut and fed into the bedroom, now the toilet itself you have to walkin sideways for whatever reasons, year and it had a bathroom at the far end, which was just a shower, i also noticed the taps had some rusty bubbles all over it, thats a sign of hardwater, the walls had the same signs,

At this point i was already turning off the switches for this apartment in my head,
Like its a no, the guy was still there asking me , fantastic right ? .. i said well if you say so ...

I asked him why the tap wasnt rushing, he said its a minor issue.
I asked about light too, the response was not given .. hard pass

I didnt bother asking the guy other further questions about the environs, like nearness to bustops and other places for flexibility and stuff like that ..

I just told him wed get back to him

Immidiately .. i left the gate with that guy .. i told him, You cant start your life like this

Onto the next one 😎👌
