How Much Does Shortlet Apartment Cost in Surulere?
There’s no fixed price for shortlet apartments in Surulere; it all depends on the quality of the facilities and amenities provided, as well as the location.
On average, you can find:
- Studio apartments starting from ₦25,000 per day
- Three-bedroom apartments going up to ₦150,000 per day
The pricing is also influenced by the agency’s reputation. Well-known property companies that usually sell houses may charge more for their short-term apartments compared to agencies that focus only on short-term rentals.
Other factors like unit size and location also play a role. Surulere high-brow areas will attract more cost than ‘local’ areas.
In some cases, apartments can be 20% more expensive just because they offer extras like a PlayStation 5, snooker board, or other premium features.
