An expert within the property space in the United Kingdom, Tina Walters, has stated that the Nigerian rental market needs restructuring.
Walters, who is the director of Purifico Property Services, made this known to the Tribune Online on Thursday in Lagos.
Tina said such facilities are needed to be able to provide more affordable housing options and easier access for tenants.
She noted that it can be done with the support of the government’s influence, adding that the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has led to mass concessions, renegotiations, and restructuring activity in the real estate market globally.
According to her, the government should encourage landlords to offer flexible leasing arrangements through the use of essential property management services, which will ensure that there is structure and regulation.
