From the results, I found out a good number answered most of the questions right while a few others performed below average.

There are other crucial factors to consider when determining the buying or selling price of a house; location, product and timing. I have listed out the 3 factors in details below.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b><i>ALSO READ: \u00a0<\/i><\/b><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.tolet.com.ng\/blog\/5-implications-of-high-cost-of-property-in-lekki-lagos\/\"><b><i>5 Implications of High Cost of Property in Lekki<\/i><\/b><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>\u00a0Location<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Without much ado, houses located on the <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.tolet.com.ng\/blog\/6-best-residential-estates-with-decent-houses-in-lagos-island\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Island area of Lagos<\/a> are known to be more expensive because of the associated luxury apartments in the area.
