Nigerians seeking to diversify their assets and safeguard family wealth will now have a clearer path into global real estate markets as property experts convene in Lagos to offer direct access to investment opportunities in London and Dubai.
The initiative is expected to deepen the country’s participation in international asset ownership, providing a legal and transparent avenue for capital movement while promoting wealth stability for Nigerians navigating economic uncertainties at home.
Property consultancy Brithomes will, in collaboration with UK-based developer London Square and its parent company Aldar Group, hold a one-day event in May, targeting Nigerian investors interested in acquiring properties abroad. The event, taking place at Lagos will also feature a showcase of select properties from Dubai presented by Aldar representatives flying in from the UAE.
Director of Brithomes, Olatunji Akinbo said that the initiative is designed to support Nigerians who are increasingly exploring offshore property investment as a form of economic security, intergenerational wealth planning, or long-term residency preparation for their families.
“Lagos is home to a dynamic group of global-minded investors. This event is designed for those looking to diversify their portfolios and tap into both the London and Dubai markets—two of the world’s most resilient and rewarding destinations for property investment. We are proud to bring these opportunities directly to the city, in partnership with London Square and Aldar.”
In addition to showcasing properties ready for immediate acquisition and those under development, the session will provide information on available stock and off-plan units in key cities and allow participants to consult directly with legal and real estate professionals familiar with the acquisition process in the UK and UAE. It also aims to demystify cross-border property ownership and highlight steps that individuals or families can take to legally structure their investments.
With ongoing pressures on the naira and rising inflation, real estate has remained a preferred hedge among the country’s high-net-worth individuals. Industry analysts suggest that clearer access to international property assets could support broader economic goals by increasing financial literacy, encouraging legal capital flows, and reducing risky offshore transactions.
