Finding a home to buy or rent

Search, save homes and searches, compare, contact agents and book a viewing.


You can browse without an account. Sign in to save homes and contact agents.

  1. Open Buy or Rent, or a city page such as Property for rent in Lagos.
  2. Narrow it down with the filters: location, price, bedrooms, bathrooms, home type, amenities and keywords, with more under Filters.
  3. Open a listing to see its photos, details, fees (for rentals: service charge, caution, agency and legal fees) and its place on the map.
  4. Tap the heart to save it. Saved homes appear in My Dashboard.
  5. Save a search to run it again later from your dashboard.
  6. Compare a few homes side by side before you decide.
  7. Get in touch with the agent or owner:
    • Contact Agent sends a message. You need a confirmed email, and the agent replies to you directly.
    • WhatsApp opens a chat with a message about the property already written.
    • Request a tour books a viewing (sign in first). You are emailed when the agent confirms.
  8. Looking for an agent instead? Find an Agent lists agents by area, with their listings and reviews. Agents with the Verified Agent badge have had their credentials checked by our team.
