⚠️ "Plot" sizes vary — always verify!

A "standard plot" in Nigeria varies by location. Lekki Phase 1 may be 450sqm; Ibeju-Lekki may be 648sqm; Abuja might be 400sqm (8-unit scheme). Always demand the survey dimensions — not just "1 plot." Ask for the survey plan and count the numbers yourself.

Competitor check - 28 April 2026

Benchmarked against Rentometer, AirDNA, Zillow Rental Manager and BuildZoom. The goal is not to copy them; it is to bring the useful workflow pattern into an Africa-first tool with official-source caution and local evidence capture.

Observed feature pattern

  • Property tools improve trust by showing comparable evidence, market assumptions, inspection or permit data and a dated report trail.
  • Rental platforms connect screening, lease, payments, deposit evidence and renewal steps instead of stopping at a calculator result.
  • Investment tools separate gross numbers from operating cost, vacancy, tax, permit and title risk so the user can defend the decision.

Implemented on this app

  • This page now asks for matter, country or regime, date, status, evidence and risk flags before the user exports a note.
  • The app-specific checklist is not generic: it starts with "Convert all sizes to square metres before comparing prices".
  • Saved workflows can be resumed from the dashboard and handed off to Survey Cost when the matter naturally continues.
  • The PDF/export moment is a value-after-result gate, so users can still use the tool first and only share email when saving the report.

Best next move

  • Which unit is used in the title, survey plan, agent advert and local market
  • Convert all sizes to square metres before comparing prices
  • Agent says standard plot without dimensions
Reviewed 28 April 2026 · Land measurement converter

Plot sizes are legal and commercial shorthand. The converter should help users translate plots, acres, hectares, square metres, feddan, morgen and local units without confusing physical land with title area.

Decisions this clarifies

  • Which unit is used in the title, survey plan, agent advert and local market
  • Whether the advertised plot is standard, half plot, irregular or net-of-setback area
  • Whether conversions affect price per square metre, density or building coverage

Before you rely on it

  • Convert all sizes to square metres before comparing prices
  • Compare title area, survey area and physical boundary area
  • Check setbacks, road reserves and easements before assuming buildable area

Red flags

  • Agent says standard plot without dimensions
  • Advertised size differs from survey plan
  • Price comparison ignores unusable setbacks, drainage or access roads

Before filing, signing, publishing, or sending anything, keep a short record that links the app result to evidence and official-source checks.

Capture

Save the country or regime, parties, dates, amounts, selected options, and final output. Add why this matters: Which unit is used in the title, survey plan, agent advert and local market.

Attach

Convert all sizes to square metres before comparing prices. Also keep the strongest supporting document, receipt, portal reference, ID, contract, policy, or court file beside the generated result.

Escalate

If you see this risk, pause and get qualified help: Agent says standard plot without dimensions.
