What listings leave out

The photos look perfect. Living there is another story.

Agents sell the interior. The things that decide whether you'll enjoy the next twelve months sit right outside the front door.

Power supply

Some streets enjoy steady feeder supply while others lean on generators every evening. Most renters only find out after the first sleepless night.

We log daily grid hours and outages

Flooding

Flooding is seasonal, so a sunny-day viewing can't warn you. Some closes stay dry all year while others need wellington boots by July.

We map elevation and drainage

Traffic and commute

Distance on a map means little in Lagos. What counts is how long the school run and the office commute really take at 7:30 on a Tuesday.

We track peak-hour travel times

Water quality

Taste, smell and colour change from street to street. Salty or iron-heavy borehole water means extra filters, stained buckets and appliances that wear out early.

We lab-test borehole samples

Indoor signal

Full bars on the street can drop to one bar indoors. If you work from home, the signal in your actual room matters more than any network advert.

We test signal inside real units

Street safety

Feeling safe depends on more than a gate. Lighting on the walk home, how quickly incidents get a response and who looks out for the street all shape it.

We audit access, lighting and patrols

How it works

Three steps from an address to a confident yes.

No soggy site visits and no guessing from listing photos. Just checked facts about the place you're considering.

The Livability Index

Everything that matters, scored out of 100.

Each area gets a Livability Score from 0 to 100, a weighted blend of six factors measured by inspectors and real infrastructure data. Every input can be traced back to its source.

Built from verified data

Sample livability score

Ikeja GRA & Allen corridor

PoorFairGoodExcellent

Math, not guesswork. Each score is calculated by a fixed formula from inspected readings. AI can explain a number but never sets one.

  1. Power Reliability

    Meter readings

    How many hours the grid actually delivers, how often it cuts out and how stable the voltage is when it's on.

  2. Mobile Signal

    Speed tests

    Real signal and data speeds inside and outside homes on MTN, Airtel and Glo, plus whether fibre reaches the street.

  3. Street Safety

    Night walks

    Who controls entry, how well streets are lit after dark, visible patrols and the local incident record.

  4. Water Quality

    Lab tests

    What actually comes out of the tap: borehole depth, salt and iron levels, and how dependable public supply is.

  5. Flood Risk

    Rainy-season visits

    How high the ground sits, whether drains are clear and where rainwater collects during the wet season.

  6. Traffic & Commute

    Timed journeys

    Typical rush-hour delays, how quickly you reach major roads and what public transport is nearby.

Score by factor

  • Power ReliabilityFairly steady
    78/100

    Typically 15 to 18 hours of grid power a day. Homes on the GRA feeder see fewer evening cuts than the busier Allen side.

  • Mobile SignalExcellent
    91/100

    All three major carriers deliver fast data, and indoor signal held up in nearly every building we tested.

  • Street SafetyGood
    83/100

    Controlled gates on most residential streets, regular patrols and bright lighting along the main roads.

  • Water QualityModerate
    74/100

    Most buildings draw from private boreholes. Newer serviced blocks tend to treat their water; older ones often don't, so ask.

  • Flood RiskLow risk
    86/100

    The area sits relatively high and drains quickly, so even heavy storms rarely leave standing water on the main roads.

  • Traffic & CommuteBusy peaks
    68/100

    Mornings and evenings are heavy on the main routes toward Maryland and Alausa, so allow extra time before 9 AM and after 5 PM.

Plain-language summaries

Numbers are a start. Context is everything.

Every report comes with a short, readable explanation of what the scores mean for an ordinary day in that home.

Plain-language summary

IkejaGRA & Allen corridor

Ikeja GRA suits renters who rely on a strong connection and want visible security. Calls and streaming hold up well all day. The trade-offs are timing and power: weekday trips after 7 AM can take twice as long, and evening grid dips are common, so confirm the building has inverter or generator backup before you sign.

Our core principle

Explained by AI. Checked by people.

AI helps turn verified data into clear language, but people on the ground confirm every fact first. Nothing on Verifirent is made up by a machine.

  1. Step 1

    Real readings

    Collected from meters, sensors and service providers in each area.

  2. Step 2

    Checked in person

    Inspectors visit, confirm what they see and sign off each reading.

  3. Step 3

    Scored by formula

    A fixed, published formula turns those facts into a score from 0 to 100.

  4. Step 4

    Explained by AI

    AI rewrites the findings as a short summary anyone can follow.

  5. Step 5

    Chosen by you

    You pick your next home with the whole picture in front of you.

What AI does

Turns checked facts into clear language and points out the trade-offs that matter for your routine.

What AI never does

Invent a reading, fill a gap with a guess or change a score. Not once.

Optional add-ons

Want extra peace of mind?

For homes you're serious about, book a deeper check on the property itself and on the person renting it to you.

Add-on 01

Listing and landlord check

Before you send a deposit, we confirm the home is real, the person letting it has the right to, and the price you were quoted is the price you'll pay.

  • Address exists
  • Landlord or agent identity
  • Rent and every fee
  • Unit still available

Live listing status

VerifiedIn reviewRe-check dueExpiredSuspended

Checked listings carry a status that updates over time, so you can tell at a glance whether a check is still current.

Add-on 02

In-person home inspection

A vetted inspector goes through the flat room by room and sends you a report, so you don't have to cross the city for a viewing that wastes your day.

Facts kept apart from promises

Seen by the inspector

  • How the taps and shower actually perform
  • State of the meter, wiring and sockets
  • Signs of damp, leaks or cracks

Said by the agent

  • Promises of constant light
  • Spoken commitments about repairs
  • Fees only mentioned on the phone

Accuracy and accountability

Every score can be questioned and corrected.

Neighbourhoods change. When residents notice something new, our review process makes sure the data catches up, publicly and on the record.

ReportReviewVerifyCorrect

  1. 01Report

    Someone flags a change

    A resident tells us something is different: longer outages, a newly flooded road or a street that has gone dark.

  2. 02Review

    We check the evidence

    Photos, bills and network data are compared with what we already have on record.

  3. 03Verify

    An inspector visits

    Nothing changes on a report alone. Someone goes to the street and looks for themselves.

  4. 04Correct

    The score is updated

    The new score goes live with a public note of what changed and when it happened.

Checked in person

Every number starts with an inspection, a physical test or a document we have verified ourselves.

Always dated

You can see when each factor was last checked. Anything getting old is flagged and inspected again.

Independent of landlords

Owners can't pay for a better score, and what our inspectors see always outranks what owners say.
