PARTNER NETWORK · TRADES & PROFESSIONALS

Good work, from owners who aren't there to supervise it.

A large share of the property owners on Apartments.ng live abroad. They need people on the ground they can trust without standing over them — and they are willing to pay properly for it. If that describes how you already work, we would like to hear from you.

Lagos and Abuja live now. Other cities as demand builds.

Where the work actually comes from

Not a promise about volume. These are real services running on this site — every single one needs verified local hands to execute the job.

🔍
Remote inspections

Owners abroad commission physical visits — vacancy checks, construction progress, storm damage, pre-purchase surveys — with photos and signed reports.

Needs: inspectors, photographers, surveyors
🏗️
Building from abroad

Diaspora owners building in Nigeria, with independent monitoring at every stage and payments released against measured milestones.

Needs: builders, all trades, engineers, QS
🏠
Managed short lets

Apartments let nightly in Lagos and Abuja, needing rapid turnover between every guest — cleaning, laundry, restocking, and fixing things fast.

Needs: cleaners, laundry, handymen, power
🎨
Preparing property for sale

Targeted repairs, redecoration, and staging before a property hits the market — quoted and approved by the owner before work starts.

Needs: painters, tilers, POP, finishing trades
🛋️
Furnishing and fit-out

Empty properties made rental-ready — furniture, appliances, backup power, internet, and a complete inventory check.

Needs: furniture, appliances, solar, fit-out
📐
Estates and valuations

Families settling inherited property need independent valuations, condition reports, and years of neglected maintenance put right.

Needs: valuers, surveyors, general trades
What we are not going to tell you: We do not claim an endless flood of guaranteed work. Demand depends on your trade, city, pricing, and execution track record. What we guarantee is a transparent marketplace with zero deductions from your quoted fee.

What we ask of partners

Owners use us because we vet thoroughly. Keeping that trust intact protects your pipeline.

✓ To join, you'll need

  • Two references from previous clients we can call directly
  • Relevant certification where trade requires it (COREN, NIESV, NIA, etc.)
  • Verifiable physical address
  • Bank account in your registered name (no third-party accounts)

⚠ What gets you removed

  • Asking clients to pay directly off-platform
  • Quoting one price and invoicing another without written agreement
  • Starting unapproved work, then billing for it
  • Sending unvetted subcontractors without notification
  • Repeatedly missing agreed job dates without prior notice
  • Providing falsified credentials or fabricated past work
