You could admire and buy land/building during the dry season, not knowing you have made a big mistake.
In Nigeria, the rainy season is not an inconvenience for smart buyers; it is your honest inspection tool.
When rain falls, the surroundings of land and buildings reveal their true nature. Flood-prone plots and poor drainage become obvious announces.
Erosion shows where the soil is weak and unstable. Access roads that look fine and motorable in the dry season suddenly become muddy traps, cut off or impassable.
These are things glossy land/building brochures and sweet assurances will never show you.
Buying land/house during the rainy season allows you to see how water flows, where it gathers, and how fast it drains.
You get to observe whether a building leaks, whether the foundation is solid and whether occupants truly enjoy peaceful living or silently battle water every year.
These realities are often hidden when dust replaces water.
Many buyers rush to conclude deals in the dry season, only to start spending heavily on filling, drainage and repairs once the rains return.
Rain exposes faults a seller may not mention and problems agents/realtors may not know.
Take advantage of the rainy season. It is the season where land and buildings figuratively stop pretending and start telling the truth.
To everything there is a season (Ecclesiastes 3:1).
