But the reality is that these houses are still out of reach for the average indigene,\u201d he noted.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u200e<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u200eAccording to him, \u201cMost of these houses are being acquired by people outside the country. The mortgage institution requirements are also very difficult to meet. Therefore, creating a class for ordinary men to have access to mortgage loans is essential.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u200e<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u200eEstate surveyors and valuers, he explained, are not just involved in property valuation. They also handle feasibility studies, project management, and facilities maintenance &#8211; key components that ensure the success and sustainability of housing projects.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u200e<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u200e\u201cWe determine project viability, estimate costs, and manage construction from start to finish,\u201d Tunde said.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u200e<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u200eDespite their importance, Tunde pointed out that professionals in the sector face serious challenges.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u200e<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u200e\u201cLimited access to funding, tough regulatory environments, and intense competition in the market make it difficult to function optimally,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u200e<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u200eHe called on the government to do more. \u201cGovernment should support estate surveyors and valuers with funding and reduce regulatory bottlenecks. We also need a review of mortgage institution requirements to make them more accessible to ordinary citizens,\u201d he added.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u200e<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u200eTunde also recommended stronger collaboration between professionals and other players in the sector. \u201cThere should be synergy between surveyors, developers, financiers, and government agencies. That\u2019s the only way to achieve meaningful results.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u200e<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u200e \u201cIf we truly want to solve the housing deficit, we must focus on affordability and inclusivity. Estate surveyors and valuers are ready to play their part,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u200e<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By \u200eDaniel Adaji \u200e \u200eA member of the Nigerian Institution of Estate Surveyors and Valuers, Odesanya Sakiru Tunde, has called for stronger collaboration between government and estate professionals to make&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":120583,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-120582","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
