Mowe, Ofada in Ogun State is currently playing host to many property development campaigns mostly of the site and service type. All at once the sleepy setting has become the background for enterprising realtors to let off their amazing drive and energies Being a relatively largely undeveloped place, it is more convenient for these realtors to clear the forest, provide basic infrastructure, demarcate plots and sell them. This way, it is possible to obtain a plot for just N375, 000!

Twin City is one of these numerous campaigns in Mowe. Having sold out fully in its first campaign, the promoters comprising Cross & Churchhill Realtors Limited, and Silverbeach Investments Limited, have moved into the second phase of the campaign. Twin City consists of properly laid out plots in a secure and gated environment. It is conceived with beautifully planned streets and earth roads networks, and confined within perimeter fencing.

To be provided is a bore hole for construction activities and residential purposes. It is situated in a tranquil environment that provides ready access to the major highways such as the Lagos – Ibadan Expressway and Sagamu – Ore Expressway. However, the expansive land bordering the expressway belongs to the Ogun State government which alone has authority to deal with it.

It appears to be a good bargain and one thing - campaigns such as these are initially greeted with cynicism and before the more doubtful ones make up their minds to transact, the price would have skyrocketed to the N1million mark in an unending climb that never sees it come down. It is the basic theory of real estate: it appreciates in value, one great advantage it has over stock and shares, and other related investments.

Under option A, a prospect is offered a lower price of N375,000 in consideration for 50 percent initial deposit with the balance spread over six months. Under option B, the purchaser pays a price of N400,000 in six equal monthly instalments. Option C allows the purchaser to pay in twelve equal monthly instalments and for this reason, the price is N500,000 per standard plot.

There is an additional/optional charge of N50,000 for the plot survey. Owing to the distance, site visitations and inspections are fixed for Saturday. Certificate of Occupancy is obtained on behalf of the purchasers from the Ogun State government within a “reasonable time” by the solicitors of the promoters.

Over 600 standard plots are available for sale and the marketing began since January 1, 2008. A standard plot measures 120 x 60 feet, approximately 650 square meters. The second phase land has just been cleared preparatory to fencing and sinking of borehole. Twin City offers flexible payment options.
