The True Cost of Poor Facility Management in Lagos Properties


Meta Description: Poor facility management costs landlords more than they think. Discover the hidden expenses, tenant dissatisfaction, and risks, and how to fix them.


Introduction


In Lagos, owning property is only half the battle. The real challenge lies in managing it properly. Poor facility management doesn't just mean dirty stairwells or broken generators, it silently eats into your profits and destroys tenant trust.


Hidden Costs of Poor Facility Management

  1. Frequent Repairs: Neglected systems (generators, lifts, plumbing) fail more often, costing 2–3x more over time.

  2. Tenant Turnover: Dissatisfied tenants leave, leading to vacancies and lower rental yields.

  3. Service Charge Disputes: Lack of transparency creates distrust between landlords and tenants.

  4. Asset Devaluation: Poorly maintained properties lose long-term value.


Case Comparison: Managed vs. Unmanaged

  • Unmanaged: Broken elevators, unpaid service contractors, angry tenants.

  • Managed: Preventive maintenance, clear service charges, satisfied tenants.
