Experts highlight opportunities, challenges in joint venture schemes

Professionals affiliated with the Nigerian Institution of Estate Surveyors and Valuers (NIESV) are advocating for enhanced joint venture developments as a strategic approach to maintaining a competitive edge, overcoming limitations, and fostering growth in the real estate market.
They highlighted the potential benefits of joint venture schemes, including cost reduction, risk-sharing, and the utilization of both human and capital resources for business development in the sector.
 
During the 2023 Mandatory Continuing Professional Development (MCPD) program titled "Opportunities and Challenges in Joint Venture and Development Leases," organized by NIESV Lagos branch, Mr. Akintola Oladejo, the lead facilitator and Chief Executive Officer of Prestigious Home Limited, discussed critical issues affecting property developments. These issues included obstacles to foreign investments, rising construction costs, lack of access to finance, high land acquisition and development costs, inadequate infrastructure, inefficient regulatory processes, and unfavorable government policies, as well as concerns about insecurity and political instability.

Oladejo described joint ventures as collaborative business partnerships involving two or more parties in real estate projects. These partnerships provide innovative solutions to key development challenges, with each partner contributing expertise, resources, and capital in exchange for a share of the profits.
 
 
For a joint venture scheme to succeed, Oladejo emphasized the importance of clearly defined agreements specifying partners' roles and responsibilities, project timelines, funding structures, and profit distribution modalities. He highlighted the necessity of planning, negotiation, and effective management in property development joint ventures, emphasizing the crucial role of legal professionals in the process.
 
Mr. Ayo Olanrewaju Kuyebi, Chief Executive Officer of GMH Luxury Limited, outlined strategies for successful joint ventures, including due diligence, transparent agreements, independent valuation to determine construction costs, flexibility, open communication, and the inclusion of dispute resolution mechanisms.

Gbenga Ismail, Chairman of NIESV Lagos branch, acknowledged the significance of joint ventures in the real estate market's recent growth but noted areas of concern, such as understanding the roles of landowners, builders, and investors to reduce frictions.
