As land documentation continues to pose a major bottleneck in Nigeria’s real estate sector, Hudders Field Property Agency-Nigeria has called on the government to simplify title registration and approval processes to boost investor confidence and accelerate housing delivery.
Speaking at the opening of the company’s new office in Lagos, the Principal Consultant, Dr Adeniyi Tinubu, said the agency would also engage regulators and professional bodies to advocate for clearer, investor-friendly real estate policies that improve the ease of doing business and attract both local and foreign investors.
Tinubu emphasised that reforming the land administration framework remains crucial to addressing long-standing challenges in property ownership and investment.
“Simplifying land documentation and title verification is essential to unlocking the full potential of Nigeria’s real estate market,” he said. “Our goal is to work with government agencies, developers, and financial institutions to make quality housing accessible to middle and lower-income earners without compromising standards or sustainability.”
The company said its expansion into Nigeria is aimed at bridging gaps in affordable housing, professional property management, and real estate investment transparency, issues that have hindered growth in the sector.
The firm plans to partner with developers, mortgage institutions, and housing cooperatives to create flexible ownership and rent-to-own schemes tailored to the needs of Nigeria’s growing urban population. “We aim to bring global best practices, smart housing solutions, and ethical professionalism to a market that holds immense potential,” Tinubu said.
He noted that the agency is also collaborating with local authorities and legal experts to ensure title processing becomes more secure, efficient, and transparent. “We are committed to fostering a transparent environment that attracts both local and international investors,” he added. “Through dialogue and digital integration, we hope to contribute to a more efficient and trustworthy real estate market.”
In line with global environmental trends, Tinubu said it will promote eco-friendly building standards, green certification compliance, and solar-powered community models, combining affordability with environmental stewardship. “We believe the future of housing lies in sustainability,” the company stated. “Our goal is to help developers and policymakers integrate green principles into Nigeria’s urban growth plans.”
As part of its innovation strategy, the company plans to deploy PropTech solutions including digital property listings, blockchain-based title verification, and smart facility management platforms to improve transparency, reduce fraud, and enhance customer experience.
The company will also explore co-living and shared housing models, which are increasingly popular among Nigeria’s youthful urban workforce, offering affordable, flexible, and community-oriented options.
Tinubu said the agency’s long-term vision aligns with broader national housing objectives to promote inclusion, create jobs, and stimulate sustainable economic growth. “We see Nigeria not just as a market, but as a nation of potential,” Tinubu said. “Our mission is to make homeownership achievable, the market more transparent, and the industry more sustainable.”
The agency said it will also invest in capacity building for real estate professionals through training, global mentorship, and collaboration with professional bodies to raise standards and encourage ethical practices.
He disclosed plans to leverage its international network, including its affiliation with the National Association of Realtors (NAR Global), to attract diaspora investments into the housing sector, a key source of capital inflow estimated at billions of dollars yearly.
