Lagos, Nigeria’s commercial hub, recently played host to an exclusive property acquisition event, fuelling the growing appetite of Nigerian investors for opportunities in international real estate markets. This is as UK-based property consultancy Brithomes UK in partnership with UK-based property developer London Square part of the Aldar Group and Nigerian investors seeking properties in London and Dubai, convened at the Wheatbaker Hotel in Ikoyi.
The event brought together Nigerian investors, families, and real estate professionals for an immersive evening exploring international property opportunities and practical insights into building long-term wealth across borders.
Christabel Okeke, marketing executive at Brithomes, opened the event by highlighting the company’s mission to make global real estate accessible to African investors not just in theory, but with real listings, real support, and real partnerships.
Brithomes, a UK-based consultancy, offers property sourcing, acquisition support, legal coordination, and post-purchase management tailored specifically for African clients looking to buy in London. Their deep knowledge of the UK market, combined with a client-first approach, has helped many African families find homes abroad, diversify their assets, and take their first steps into global real estate.
“We know the hurdles Nigerians face when looking abroad: hidden fees, misleading promises, and lack of aftercare. We built Brithomes to remove all that noise. Our job is to simplify, clarify, and walk with you the whole way,“ said Olatunji Akinbo, director of Brithomes UK.
The spotlight then turned to London Square, whose representative delivered a presentation on the resilience and evolution of London’s housing market. They introduced attendees to key developments across the city — from elegant townhouses in leafy commuter zones to stylish apartments in the heart of the capital.
“Events like this are important because they give African investors direct access to properties, and real answers to their questions from a trusted network. London remains one of the most stable and desirable places to invest, and we’re proud to partner with Brithomes to bring these opportunities to life,” said Harry Day-Brosnan, international sales manager, London Square.
Brithomes’ portfolio also includes a growing focus on Dubai, offering off-plan and completed developments with flexible payment options. With the Aldar Group also present at the event, guests had a rare opportunity to ask about cross-market comparisons and entry points for UAE investments.
A particularly moving moment came during the contribution from Venetta Frempong of Brithomes Ghana, who reminded the audience that conversations about migration must also include property ownership and asset security. “We often think of international movement in terms of education or short-term relocation. But real impact comes when we start helping families own property.” she said.
The evening wrapped with a lively Q&A session, followed by on-the-spot consultations with both the Brithomes and London Square teams. The event served as a signal that African investors are just watching global markets, and Brithomes, with its hands-on, transparent, and highly personalised service, is proud to walk that journey with them.
