Nigeria Property Centre

What Nigeria Property Centre does

Nigeria Property Centre (NPC) is a private Nigerian property marketplace founded in 2011 and headquartered in Lekki. It operates a self-serve, two-sided platform connecting property seekers with estate agents and property developers across Nigeria, covering 31 states and 309+ localities. The platform's core product is a searchable listings database of 150,000+ active properties — spanning houses, flats and apartments, land, and commercial property for sale or rent — supplemented by Shortlet listings, Joint Venture listings, an Agent and Developer Directory, a Property Request System, and Market Trends modules that surface demand and pricing intelligence.

The underlying technology is a web-based marketplace platform with native iOS and Android applications, supporting advanced filtering by location, budget, property type, bedrooms, furnishing status, serviced/shared flags, and recency, as well as multi-currency display (NGN, USD, GBP, EUR, CAD). Listings and agents are screened and verified by the NPC team before badges are issued, addressing the well-documented fraud risk in the Nigerian property market.

NPC's business model is freemium for the demand side (browsing, saving, and enquiring is free) and pay-to-list for the supply side (estate agents and developers). Revenue streams include subscription-based listing fees, premium placement (Premium Plus / Top promoted listings), and banner advertising. The company also extends its brand via sister marketplaces in Kenya and Ghana. The firm operates with a lean team of 1-10 employees and has not disclosed any external funding rounds.

• Jiji Nigeria: Largest general classifieds marketplace in Nigeria with a substantial property vertical (houses, land, apartments, shortlets). Competes directly for both agent listings and seeker demand, with broader marketplace scale across other verticals.
