A Finished 5-Bedroom Investment Property inKatampe Extension, Abuja
By Ufuoma OnakpoyanAsaba & Abuja Real Estate Agent · Last reviewed 22 September 2026
A completed, fully finished 5-bedroom detached duplex in its own gated compound, in a diplomatic-zone district where finished homes have asked more each year we've tracked. Let it, run it as a service apartment, or hold it - see the numbers below.
The investment case
Figures marked "in our experience" are our own asking-price observations, not a valuation or a guarantee. Market figures are cited from third-party listing data, dated below.
A market that has moved up
In our experience, five-bedroom fully detached duplexes in Katampe Extension mini estates asked around ₦700 million in 2024; comparable finished homes now ask ₦900 million to ₦1 billion. Current market listings for the area show finished 5-bedroom duplexes priced from roughly ₦850 million to ₦1.5 billion depending on finish and land size (Nigeria Property Centre, 2026).
Rental income potential
In our experience, a home like this lets for around ₦20 million to ₦25 million a year, with two years commonly asked up front - a widely used practice for premium Abuja homes. Market-wide listings for 5-bedroom duplexes in the area show annual rents from about ₦10 million up to ₦30 million depending on finish (Nigeria Property Centre, 2026).
A self-compound, service-apartment option
Because this is a fully detached home in its own gated compound - not a shared block - it can also be run as a short-let service apartment, a model that suits Katampe Extension's diplomatic-zone profile and corporate/diaspora visitor demand.
A weaker naira has pushed costs up
The naira has moved from roughly ₦380 to the dollar in 2021 to a peak near ₦1,717 in November 2024, settling around ₦1,446 in early 2026 (Central Bank of Nigeria / TheGlobalEconomy.com data). That currency move, alongside general inflation, has pushed construction and replacement costs - and asking prices - up across Abuja.

Why this property specifically
Diplomatic-zone location
Katampe Extension is officially designated a diplomatic zone in the Abuja master plan, the kind of classification that tends to hold its value and attract security-conscious tenants and buyers.
Fully finished, not off-plan
This is a completed, finished 5-bedroom detached duplex - no build-out risk, no waiting on a developer's timeline. You can let it, live in it, or hold it from day one.
Own compound, full control
A self-contained gated compound with a smart gate system gives an owner or tenant full control of access - a feature diaspora and corporate tenants specifically look for.

Questions investors ask us
Is this an asking price or a guaranteed valuation?
It is an asking price. Past price movements in Katampe Extension do not guarantee future prices. We show you the asking-price history we have seen so you can make your own judgement, and recommend independent verification for any investment decision.
What could this property realistically earn in rent?
In our experience, comparable homes let for about ₦20 million to ₦25 million a year, commonly with two years asked up front. Rental income is not guaranteed and depends on the tenant market at the time.
Can I turn it into a service apartment?
The self-compound layout suits that model, and Katampe Extension's diplomatic-zone location supports demand from corporate and diaspora visitors. You would need to plan management and compliance for that business yourself.
What is the agency fee?
5% of the sale price, and the agent who brings the buyer earns the full 5% on this MR DGN-owned home.
What should I verify before buying?
The C of O, governor's consent where it applies, an AGIS search, a court search and a survey - see our verification guide for the full process.
